At the Oct. 5 Children's Hospital Los Angeles Gala red carpet, Meghan Markle wore a red Carolina Herrera gown that I instantly recognized from her extensive archive. The beach waves Markle paired with it, however, struck me as a beauty-180.
Normally, the Duchess of Sussex attends formal engagements with a few tried-and-true hairstyles: a sleek blow-out with gently curled ends, a slick low bun, or a power ponytail with her hair twisted around the elastic. But on Saturday, Markle got in touch with her inner Malibu surfer girl, opting for tousled, brushed out curls set with a middle part. Her relaxed beach waves were a fitting contrast to the formality of her plunge neckline gown and red stiletto sandals. The same goes for her makeup: defined brows, fluttery eyelashes, a swipe of the red blush trend, and a nude, glossy lip.
