Meghan Markle's red carpet look 'hints at major life change'

The Duchess of Sussex attended at the LA Children's Hospital Gala without her husband Prince Harry

by · Birmingham Live

Meghan Markle could be hinting at a major life change with her new red carpet look, an expert has claimed. The 43-year-old donned a £4,595 red Carolina Herrera dress to the LA Children's Hospital Gala at the weekend.

Prince Harry is believed to have stayed home with the couple's two children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three. The Duchess of Sussex had previously worn the dress back in 2021 in a different style.

Meghan wore her hair in a style not commonly seen on the mum-of-two. As opposed to the usual sleek style, she instead chose to go for beachy waves.

Celebrity stylist and MAYFIVE co-founder Katie Allan said that this could hint at a change in her life. She told Express.co.uk: "Meghan debuted a fresh new hairstyle at the LA Children's Hospital Gala.

"We're used to seeing Meghan with sleek and polished hairstyles, but her new natural, relaxed tousled look was a lot more laid back with an effortless vibe. The waves are a lot softer than we are used to seeing on Meghan, and is a contrast to her usual style of low buns or bouncy blow dries.

"This natural yet glamorous look could suggest that she's feeling more relaxed, relatable and approachable. We often change up our style when we are embracing a lifestyle or attitude change, so this new look could reflect that."
