Busy women have long known that messy buns get it done, and Meghan Markle is being exalted across the internet for sporting loose locks for her second official royal appearance.
Stepping out in London on Jan. 9 with husband-to-be Prince Harry, the former actress effortlessly paired with a low messy bun and minimal makeup with a neutral Smythe coat and Jigsaw scarf. And after spying the photos of Markle heading off to a radio station, Twitter users were quick to champion her low-key look.
I LOVE the fact Meghan Markle is doing official royal events with her hair in a messy bun. I know it’s just hair, but it feels so much more relatable/less stuffy

Meghan Markle going to a public event with her hair in a messy bun is the most American thing in the world #longlivethemessybun

Love that Meghan Markle looks like she just chucked her hair up in a bun 2 minutes before she had to leave the palace. Relatable princess. I like it.

Pretty sure Meghan Markle just pulled off a ‘just-got-out-of-bed-throw-my-hair-up-quickly-cuz-I’m-late’ bun to her second public engagement, and I’m throwing away my brush for the rest of 2018.

Thank you, #MeghanMarkle, for wearing your hair in a messy bun today. Next time my mum will complain about my hairdo, I’ll just tell her I’m pulling a Meghan. 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼

“I LOVE the fact Meghan Markle is doing official royal events with her hair in a messy bun. I know it’s just hair, but it feels so much more relatable/less stuffy,” one user wrote.
Others felt resonance with her thoroughly “American” look and liked how it looked like she “chucked her hair up in a bun 2 minutes before she had to leave the palace.”
Meanwhile, one young user said the “Meghan Effect” gave her the confidence to rock a messy knot of her own.
