Royals What Will Meghan Markle's Wedding-Day Hair Look Like? Will the royal bride-to-be ditch her messy bun and opt for a chic chignon? By Monique Jessen Published on April 3, 2018 01:37 PM Share Tweet Pin Email It’s the fashion moment the world has been waiting for, and now there’s less than seven weeks to go until Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tie the knot! While all eyes will be on Meghan’s sure-to-be stunning wedding dress, the royal bride’s hair will also be a major talking point and will no doubt set bridal hair trends for years to come. So, will she ditch her messy bun and opt for a chic chignon? “A lot will depend on her dress,” Nicky Clarke, former hairdresser to the late Princess Diana tells PEOPLE adding: “I’m not sure if we are going to get the sophisticated Meghan or the slightly edgier Meghan and that will probably dictate what she does with her hair.” Mark Cuthbert/UK Press/Getty DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS/AFP/Getty And of course, there’s the big question of whether or not she will wear a tiara. “If she’s wearing a tiara then she will definitely be wearing her hair up,” says U.K. celebrity hairdresser, Daniel Galvin Junior, whose royal clients include Prince Harry’s cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. “She could go for a very contemporary, modern look with her hair completely up, but I certainly don’t think she will wear a messy bun down the aisle.” Can’t get enough of PEOPLE’s Royals coverage?

While Meghan’s go-to look is to wear her long hair down, often styled with a few simple waves, the hairdresser who was awarded an OBE by the Queen in 2008, thinks it might not be suitable for such a formal occasion. Getty “I think wearing it all down only really works when you want it to be slightly off in a hippy-style, which I think she would absolutely carry off, but it’s just whether she feels like that’s appropriate,” adds Clarke.
