Meghan Markle Wears A Bun that Looks Just Like Her Wedding Hair

When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry arrived in the English county of Sussex on Wednesday, all was right in the world. After all, they are Duke and Duchess of Sussex, so it's appropriate that they're there, back on their joint royal outing grind. But more importantly, Meghan's hair made a triumphant return to her now-famous low, slightly undone bun. This is the first time we've seen the bun in a while, since she's taken to wearing her hair down and either pin-straight or in beachy waves for recent appearances.

The duchess's 'do on Wednesday, in fact, was almost exactly the same one she wore to her wedding in May — so perhaps she was paying homage to the day she received her title. The bun was low and securely pinned to the nape of her neck, her hair was parted right down the middle, and a few face-framing tendrils were loosely curled and left free to add movement and soften the look. As you probably recall, Meghan's wedding hair was almost exactly the same, though the actual bun on that day was slightly more intricate.

It makes sense that Meghan would repeat this style time and time (and time) again, since, as her wedding hairstylist Serge Normant explained to Glamour shortly after the ceremony, it only takes about 45 minutes to create — less if the day isn't as important as, you know, your literal wedding day — and perfectly captures Meghan's effortless glam and easygoing vibe. "We wanted something that would have an easy feel to it," Normant said. "We both knew we wanted to do something very loose in the back and soft in the front...I know everyone's fixating on the word 'messy,' but it was more like unstructured volume. A low bun in the back with dimension."

According to People, Meghan complemented Wednesday's chic hairstyle with a forest green silk shirt from & Other Stories and a matching green leather Hugo Boss pencil skirt, a beige cashmere Giorgio Armani coat, and coordinating beige Stuart Weitzman pumps. She also carried a small, green leather version of the Gabriela Hearst "Nina" handbag.
