Meghan Markle Steps Out With Sleek New Hair

While stepping out for the Coach Core Awards at Loughborough University with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle did three notable new things.

Firstly, she showed off her netball skills. Then the Duchess threw out the rulebook by wearing black and navy together and lastly she ditched her signature hairstyle for a sleeker, layered hairstyle.Yes, that’s correct: the royal has opted not to wear her go-to messy bun or loose waves!

The final look is very polished, but Markle still managed to look effortless by nonchalantly tucking the front of her hair behind her ear — because even when she’s going for a sleeker look, Markle still has to be herself.
