Meghan Markle shared an awkward kiss with Italian fashion designer Pier Paolo Piccioli as she made a surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week.
The Duchess, 44, narrowly avoided pecking the designer - who is the newly appointed creative director of Balenciaga - and butted heads with him as they leaned in for an embrace at last night's event.
Meghan had gone in for a kiss on the cheek to congratulate Piccioli on his Spring/Summer 2026 womenswear design, but instead appeared to hit her nose on his sunglasses.
Aware that the cameras were on them, Piccioli laughed it off and grabbed Meghan's hand before pulling her in for a photo.
The Duchess then thanked the designer before finishing off the encounter with a brief hug.
