A Definitive Ranking Of Meghan Markle’s Best Hairstyles Over The Years

Meghan Markle is a modern-day style icon. There’s a reason why they call it the “Meghan Markle” effect: The Duchess of Sussex has the world in awe, not just for her real-life Cinderella story and significant humanitarian efforts, but also for her fashion and beauty choices. The 37-year-old not only serves wearable wardrobe inspiration (power suits for days, anyone?) but also a slew of immaculate make-up and hair looks (hello, natural glow).

One of the most talked-about aspects of her beauty routine is her enviable hair. When it comes to her dark brown curls, Meghan Markle rarely strays from her favorite hairstyles. If the royal Duchess isn’t wearing her hair down around her shoulders – expertly whipped in bouncy loose waves – she is sporting her rule-breaking messy bun and even wearing the modern upstyle on her wedding day to Prince Harry.

Here, we go back to the American-born British royal’s early Hollywood days and revisit Meghan Markle’s best hairstyles over the years. We know Meghan has curly hair from her adorable childhood snaps, so there’s a good chance she’s getting keratin treatments to keep her natural hair looking sleek all these years. Since pregnant women can’t undergo the in-salon hair treatment due to the harsh chemicals – the Duchess has been choosing a series of sleek styles to keep her wayward curls in place. Enter the elegant ponytail and a Kate Middleton-inspired half-up, half-down look. A triumph! This simple ponytail keeps all the focus on Meghan’s smokey eye make-up. Slightly controversial opinion: the duchess looks best with her pulled back in an updo, letting her gorgeous face shine.

Meghan Markle Messy Bun

Introducing Meghan Markle’s most famous hairstyle, the messy bun (version 1.0). Who could have predicted that she’d be the Duchess of Sussex and wearing messy buns similar to this on her wedding day? Well, just a short 12-months later, she would be announcing her engagement to Prince Harry. The bride wore her hair in a center part and twisted up into a low, voluminous chignon at the nape of her neck, worn beneath her beautiful veil and tiara. We know that Meghan chose to wear Queen Mary’s Filigree Tiara for the special day, adding a touch of sparkle to her Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy boatneck dress.

I started blogging back in 2019 with a few of my friends and quickly fell in love with it. Over the years, my blog has evolved to include fashion and beauty posts, with a little bit of food, lifestyle, and travel thrown in there too. I now blog full time and live in the middle of nowhere. I love trying new things and have many plans for my future. The more I learn about this industry, the more I realize how much I love it! I want to be able to inspire others to love what they do, whether it’s working in the world of fashion, beauty, or food.
