10 Of Meghan Markle's Most Memorable Hair Moments

Meghan Markle has cemented her place as a global style icon thanks to her unabashedly bold looks. The Duchess of Sussex’s hair, of course, is an envious and inspiring combo of laissez-faire ease and chicness — here are 10 of Markle’s best hair moments to prove it.

For Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee festivities in 2022, Markle returned to the U.K. in a chic, low bun. With a few stray strands peeking out, the hairstyle was undone perfection.

Markle made a strong case for the deep side part (a win for millennials) with her sleek, shiny strands during a visit with AOL Studios in 2016. She topped the chic look off with a bold red lip.

While visiting the University of Chichester in 2018, Markle wore one of her now-signature hairstyles: a clean, pulled back updo with loose pieces framing the face. The look also amplified the Duchess' radiant complexion.

During a trip to the Nelson Mandela Centenary Exhibition in London in 2018, Markle wore her signature yet easy-to-replicate messy bun accentuated by a sophisticated middle part.

In 2013, well before her rise to household-name fame, Markle wore pin-straight layers to a Screen Actors Guild Awards pre-party at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.

Markle looked straight out of a fairytale when she rode a horse-drawn carriage during a royal event in 2018. For the occasion, the duchess paired subtle glam waves with a regal hat.

Markle traded her usual low updo for a perfectly styled ballerina-esque high bun while attending an event in London in 2019.

For your summer look, take a cue from the Duchess’ hair accessory during a trip to South Africa in 2019: Use nothing but a freshly plucked flower (or a statement-making clip of your choosing) to breathe new life into an everyday hairstyle.

One very rare occurrence in the Duchess’ hair repertoire is this low and sleek middle-parted ponytail, which Markle wore during her and Prince Harry’s royal tour of South Africa in 2019.

Markle channeled old Hollywood glam by wearing her lustrous, waved locks brushed to one side during a 2013 dinner in New York City.
