In the span of nearly four decades, Meghan Markle has worn many hats — performer, fashion figure, duchess, and now an expecting mother of two. Yet through every chapter, she has clung to one defining principle: an uncluttered, refined aesthetic with barely any embellishment. Her hair choices mirror this philosophy perfectly. Whether walking a red carpet or stepping into a royal engagement, she consistently leans toward neat buns, clean ponytails, or softly styled loose hair.
Her journey proves that understated looks can carry equal weight during a casual afternoon or a grand palace event. With that in mind, here's a roundup of her most flattering hairdos — each one achievable from the comfort of your own bathroom without breaking the bank.
Sleek Low Bun

For state functions hosted at Buckingham Palace, Meghan has repeatedly turned to the low bun, typically accessorized with a tasteful hat and soft, neutral-toned cosmetics. The look was refined in collaboration with her California-based stylist, George Northwood.
Smooth Blowout

A signature Meghan finish involves cascading strands shaped into effortless bends. Stylists typically craft this through a blow-drying method known as brushing. The good news? You can pull it off solo with a blow dryer, a round brush, and a touch of perseverance.
Classic Ponytail

Few looks are as universally loved — and as frequently worn by Meghan — as the straightforward ponytail. She typically teams it with denim and crisp button-downs, reinforcing the pared-back feel. A gentle curl at the tail injects a welcome lift.

While serving as a working royal, Meghan frequently opted for a soft, low-set bun accented with a few face-framing tendrils. The result adds dimension and pairs effortlessly with virtually any outfit. Even at formal gatherings, she confidently paired the understated style with statement gowns.

Meghan is regularly photographed sporting loose, airy waves widely referred to as beach curls. Their charm lies in adaptability — equally fitting for the boardroom as for a high-society gathering — and they never fall out of favor.
Elevated Topknot

Time and again, Meghan has demonstrated the power of a refined topknot. She clearly favors a hair donut to amplify the bun's fullness and shape the silhouette to perfection.
Vintage-Inspired Finish

Retro looks possess a timeless quality, and this duchess has clearly embraced them for years. Meghan gravitates toward the most pared-down variation — delicate curls hugging just the lower lengths.
Off-Center Parting

A side part serves as a stylist's secret weapon for elevating an otherwise simple cut. Meghan frequently pairs an unconventional part with sleek low buns or firmly secured ponytails, keeping the hair completely controlled.
Glamorous Red Carpet Curls
Full-bodied Hollywood waves suit virtually everyone — no matter the length, color, or original thickness. Meghan, for one, enjoys styling them beneath a hat for an elevated evening effect.
Pin-Straight Finish
Meghan often tames her naturally soft waves with a flat iron, embracing a stripped-back approach that skips any extras. A guaranteed success.
