Meghan Markle, known for her refined and elegant looks, recently made a change to her hair that has everyone talking. The Duchess of Sussex has been spotted rocking various hairstyles, from chic buns to loose waves. But now, she’s embracing a new “chocolate chestnut brunette” look that is absolutely breathtaking.
Her signature chocolate brown hair has undergone a subtle transformation, adding red and golden undertones that give it a dynamic and radiant appearance, especially when the sunlight hits it. This stunning new style was debuted by Meghan Markle at the 2025 Invictus Games alongside Prince Harry.

Kadi Lee, a renowned hairstylist, shared a picture of his royal client on Instagram, revealing the details of Markle’s new hair color. The blend of red and golden undertones with a dark overtone gives her skin a healthy glow, perfect for the colder months of winter. The colorist at Highbrow Hippie in California credits stylist Hector for creating the bounciest and long-lasting blowout for her hair.
Fans of Meghan Markle are in awe of her new hairdo. Many have expressed their admiration and even asked for the exact color and secrets behind it, so they can recreate it with their own stylists. One fan commented, “You do such a fantastic job at using color in a way that both pops and is subtle enough to go with her skin tone.”

Markle’s beauty appears effortless, but her father, Thomas Markle, revealed that it took a lot of work to keep her hair straight and sleek. He would wake up at 5 a.m. to help her with her hair when she was younger. However, as she grew older, she started doing her own hair and makeup, using the tricks she learned from her father, who was a lighting director on the TV soap General Hospital. Her signature glossy look became her trademark during her time as a “suitcase girl” on the game show Deal or No Deal.
In 2011, Markle shared the secret behind her soft and bouncy hair. She mentioned that her hair texture is densely curly due to her African-American and Dutch-Irish heritage. To keep her hair manageable, she had been getting Brazilian blow-outs, a semi-permanent strengthening treatment that lasts for about four months.
In February 2024, during their trip to Canada for the 2025 Invictus Games, Meghan Markle debuted her stunning new hairdo. The Duke and Duchess visited the Participating Nation’s Training Camp, where they met athletes from around the world who were hoping to compete in the upcoming games. Harry and Meghan brought attention to the games, which support sick and injured service members. The 2025 event would be the first one featuring winter sports since its inception in 2014.
Fans of the Invictus Games praised the couple on Instagram, expressing their admiration and pride for their involvement with the veterans and active service personnel. Markle, shining in her new hairstyle, received many compliments for her look.
