Meghan Markle made her debut at the Paris Fashion Week with the Balenciaga SS26 show, and fans are amused at her choice of clothing.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, was seen at the Balenciaga show at the annual event on Saturday, October 4. She sported an oversized all-white ensemble, including a cape, a button-down shirt, and matching pants. She completed her look with black pointed-toe heels and pulled her tresses into a sleek bun.

Photos of her outfit have found their way to X, where scores online are reacting to it with a blend of humor, light jabs, and appreciation. Here's how one user reacted, for instance:

"She forgot to leave the bedsheets at home"

The comments didn't end there:

"meghan is so effortlessly classy, she looks fab!" one user cheered on.

"Bed sheets repurposed! They must see her coming and be laughing their heads off!" another naysayer chimed in.

"Why did the designer drown this petite sized woman in about 20 yards of fabric? I feel bad for her because I don’t think this looks good on her at all. It’s swallowing her," someone else remarked.

"Terrible sheet-draping," yet another quipped.

See how the rest of X is reacting:

"She has no style whatsoever," one user dissed.

"Bless you, my child," someone else quipped, jokingly suggesting that she was dressed like a priest.

"What is she wearing what a baggy mess. Is Balenziaga really appropriate," yet another chimed in.

Users were visibly disappointed with her ensemble, though a few did remark that she looked "lovely."
