After making a style statement at Paris Fashion Week, Ananya Panday shared a fan moment with Hollywood star Pedro Pascal. However, what has grabbed everyone’s attention on social media isn’t just the meeting, it’s Pedro’s eye-catching bag too.
On the closing day of the Paris Fashion Week, Chanel hosted the anticipated debut collection of its new artistic director, Matthieu Blazy.
The fashion show was attended by 2300 guests which included names such as Ananya, Sofia Coppola, Tilda Swinton, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Pedro Pascal, Margot Robbie, Carrie Coon and Marion Cotillard. Ananya is the French luxury brand’s Indian brand ambassador.
Multiple photos of Ananya meeting Pedro have been making rounds on social media. The duo can be seen posing for pictures with radiant smiles, and beyond the cameras, they were also spotted sharing a lively conversation.
Social media lit up seeing the duo together, with many fans zooming in on Pedro’s stylish bag – prompting comparisons to Joey’s purse from an episode of the hit show Friends.
One wrote, “Very happy for Ananya…you go girl… After all the trolls and questioning her talent she proved her haters wrong and now reaching heights. Much love”, with another sharing, “Joey Was Right… It’s a fashion for men too.”
“That’s Joey’s bag,” one noted, with one saying, “Pedro Pascal with Joey’s purse”.
“Seeing ananya with pedro wasn’t on my bingo card,” one commented. Another shared, “She is lucky to meet pedro pascal…wow”.
“The world is finally ready for Rachel’s fashion sense,” one wrote, with one cheering for Ananya, “Aniee Poo for the win.”
In Paris, Ananya also attended the BoF 500 Gala at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris, on the sidelines of the Paris Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2026, on October 4.
Ananya was last seen in the historical drama Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, alongside Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi. The film received praise from both fans and critics.
She has now completed filming Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, her second collaboration with Kartik Aaryan after their hit film Pati Patni Aur Woh.

Jack White has fully stepped into the 21st century.
Just a few months after getting his first cell phone The White Stripes frontman reached another major milestone: making his TikTok debut. And he did so at the behest of his and ex-wife Karen Elson’s daughter Scarlett, 19.
In the Oct. 4 video shared by Scarlett—which she captioned “Meet the Parents”— the model stands in the middle of her parents before pressing record on the video as Prince’s “When Doves Cry” plays. As Jack stands with his arms cross slowly dancing and smirking, Karen and Scarlett lip-synch the words while they dance.
Giving the world a look at exactly how long it took the trio to get the perfect shot, Scarlett wrote alongside the video, “this was the 20th take.”
For his part, the “Seven Nation Army” singer—who also shares son Henry, 18, with Karen—used the video to congratulate his daughter after she made her Paris Fashion Week debut walking in the Ann Demeulemeester’s presentation Oct. 4.
Meghan Markle was a real surprise at the debut of Pierpaolo Piccioli’s debut for Balenciaga.
Although she has been a fixture at New York Fashion Week—during her time as an actor on Suits, she frequently attended shows by Tory Burch, Peter Som, Wes Gordon and Misha Nonoo, among others—this was her first time on the Parisian fashion circuit. Since her marriage to Prince Harry and her flirtation with royal engagements in 2020, Markle has taken a step back from the fashion world of more philanthropic appearances.
Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Balenciaga debut generated so much buzz that Meghan Markle didn’t hesitate to travel from Montecito to the City of Light for the occasion. She wore an outfit consisting of a white shirt, suit pants, black stilettos—a classic of the brand—and a luxe white cape that wrapped her in a subtle and elegant way.
In the past two years, there have been HUGE reshuffles at nearly every major fashion house. It’s a pretty crazy moment for fashionistas and people who study the fashion industry. During Paris Fashion Week, many of the new creative directors of the most recognizable brands in the world gave their debut collections. One of those new chief creatives? Pierpaolo Piccioli’s first-ever collection for Balenciaga after 16 years at Valentino.
The Duchess of Sussex loved wearing Piccioli’s Valentino designs, and on Saturday, she stepped out for her first-ever Paris Fashion Week to attend his debut collection with Balenciaga. I’m assuming that the Balenciaga team styled Meghan, because that’s how most of these “celebrity appearances” at fashion shows work – you get to wear something fresh from the runway and the designers’ stylists want everything to look on-theme. Meghan wore all-white – elegant white trousers, a billowy white button-down and a white cape. She also wore black pumps and carried a black bag. I’m assuming the shoes and bag are Balenciaga as well – Balenciaga has always done some majorly coveted handbags, and I hope they’re prepared for the Meghan Sussex bump. From Hello! Mag:
Meghan, who teased her arrival in the French capital with an Instagram story overlaid with the French track “Viens on essaie” by Vitaa and Julien Doré, was there “in support Pierpaolo Piccioli, who recently assumed the role of Creative Director for the House”, a spokesman for Meghan tells HELLO!.
“Over the years, the Duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo. They have worked closely together collaborating on design for key moments on the world stage. She has long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance, and tonight was no different,” said the spokesman. “This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga.”
Nice. As I’m writing this, I’ve completely avoided the British tabloid coverage of this. I assume that it will take them a good 12 hours to get their talking points from the palace. What else?? As Vogue pointed out, while this is Meghan’s first-ever appearance at Paris Fashion Week, in her pre-Sussex era, she attended shows at New York Fashion Week, including the runways for Tory Burch, Peter Som, Wes Gordon and Misha Nonoo. Meghan also ran into Anna Wintour at the show and Anna sounded very, very pleased to see Meghan in Paris. American Vogue cover WHEN?? It’s honestly past time for an American Vogue cover. PS… Meghan stepped out in black after the show!!

Meghan Markle is proving capes aren’t just for superheroes.
The Duchess of Sussex arrived in style at Paris Fashion Week 2025, donning a dramatic floor-length cape as she made her debut appearance for the Balenciaga runway show Oct. 4.
The breezy accessory was part of an all-white ensemble, which also included a button-down shirt and matching slacks. The 44-year-old completed the number with a black clutch and black heels while opting for a minimalist makeup look and wearing her hair in a slicked-back bun.
While Meghan has attended numerous New York Fashion Week and Toronto Fashion Week shows over the years, she attended her first Paris Fashion Week event in support of Balenciaga’s new creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, having “long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance.”
“Over the years, the Duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo,” Meghan’s spokesperson told People. “This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga.”
