10 photos show Meghan Markle has ditched her royal look and turned to California style

  • Meghan Markle's style has taken a turn since she resigned from her role as a senior working royal in January this year. 
  • Previously, the Duchess of Sussex's royal wardrobe included designer ball gowns and fascinators.
  • Since relocating to California, Markle has traded in conservative dresses for shorts, floaty shirts, and plenty of denim. 
  • The duchess also switched from natural to bold makeup and has changed up her hairstyles, opting for messy buns, casual ponytails, and beach waves over the traditional classic updos she previously wore to royal engagements.

Markle debuted a bold new look for the Girl Up Summit, her first engagement since leaving the royal family. The duchess opted for a $148 floaty sleeveless shirt by Adam Lippes, with long straight hair and dark eye makeup.

She swapped out her fascinators and dresses for a more casual look on Archie's first birthday earlier this year, choosing to wear a $114 J Crew denim shirt with her hair in a messy bun.

The Duchess of Sussex wore her most casual look yet while volunteering with LA-based charity Baby2Baby earlier this month. She wore olive shorts, a white shirt, and a face covering to help hand out school supplies and clothing to families in need.

The duchess completed the look with a pair of Adidas Stan Smith sneakers — a far cry from the high heels she previously wore during royal engagements.

Later in the day, she swept her hair back into a loose ponytail. Prince Harry also kept his outfit California-friendly with a pair of shorts and a gray baseball cap.

The side ponytail has become a recent favorite for Markle, who first wore the hairstyle in a video message to the graduating students at her former high school back in June.

Markle ditched the jewellery for a virtual engagement with the Queen's Commonwealth Trust in August. She wore a strappy blue and white printed shirt and brought back her now-signature beach waves and bold makeup.

The duchess stayed consistent with the minimalist look at the When all Women Vote event this month, boycotting jewellery and wearing her hair in another side ponytail.

More recently, the duchess wore pinstripe pants by Anine Bing for a conversation with Gloria Steinem about the importance of voting. Filmed in Markle's backyard, the duchess was the vision of summer as she completed the look with a beach hat and Stella McCartney sandals.
