Meghan Markle attended the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala 2024 at JW Marriott LA Live on October 5, where her appearance on the red carpet suggested that there may be changes in her personal life. Celebrity stylist Katie Allan, co-founder of MAYFIVE, believes that Meghan’s new hairstyle could be an indication of a shift in her life.
Meghan sported a striking scarlet dress, which she had previously worn at the Salute To Freedom Gala in 2021. However, this time the outfit had a notable alteration — the flowing skirt was removed, giving the dress a sleeker, more refined look.
In addition to her updated dress, Meghan opted for a fresh hairstyle, choosing soft waves instead of her usual polished and sleek look. This change sparked discussions about a potential shift in her personal life, especially as reports suggest that Meghan and Prince Harry are undergoing a “professional separation” by attending solo events more frequently.
Katie Allan commented on Meghan’s new look, saying, “Meghan debuted a fresh new hairstyle at the LA Children’s Hospital Gala. We’re used to seeing her with sleek and polished hairstyles, but this time, her relaxed, tousled waves gave her a more laid-back, effortless vibe.”
She added, “The softer waves are quite different from Meghan’s typical low buns or bouncy blowouts. This natural yet glamorous look could suggest she’s feeling more relaxed, relatable, and approachable. Often, a change in hairstyle can reflect a lifestyle or attitude shift.”
Allan also noted that Meghan’s new look aligns with current trends. “Effortless, laid-back styles are becoming more popular and will continue to rise in popularity into 2025.”
Ashley Rossiter of MirrorMePR also observed the changes in Meghan’s style, saying that the modified dress combined with her casual hairstyle and makeup shows a more relaxed side of Meghan. “The dress is a statement not to be ignored, but with her more dressed-down hair and makeup, it presents Meghan in a less formal and more approachable light, showcasing her natural beauty and figure.”
