- Meghan Markle wore her hair in an elegant bun for the royal wedding.
- Kate Middleton wore her hair down with bouncy curls for her wedding April 2011.
- Both hairstyles show touches of their own personal style.
- Here's how you can watch the royal wedding live.
Meghan Markle's hair prompted a lot of discussion following her first few public appearances. Her "casual bun" made waves for seemingly breaking royal protocol since it was not as neatly slicked back as Kate Middleton's usual 'dos. While some criticized it, others praised her for a more relatable image.
There were naturally a lot of expectations for her wedding hairstyle, and Markle definitely did not disappoint with a swept-up bun that was anything but "casual."
She arrived with her hair in an elegant updo that allowed her stunning veil and tiara to be the center of attention.
Markle went for a very different style to Middleton, who wore her hair down for her wedding to Prince William in April 2011. Middleton opted for bouncy curls at the ends, which has become part of her signature refined style.
Markle's locks ultimately looked fit for royalty, yet still had a touch of her own modern style.
