When it came to the\u00a0Royal Wedding 2018<\/a>, the biggest question was what Meghan Markle would be wearing \u2014 which ended up being Givenchy’s new designer Clare Waight Keller. But at\u00a0Allure<\/em>, almost as big a question was what Markle would do with her hair and makeup. We had been told she’d be\u00a0doing her own makeup<\/a>\u00a0(however, we now know that it was actually her friend, makeup artist Daniel Martin). Would she stick to business as usual with subtle makeup and pair it with\u00a0a messy ballerina bun? A smooth blowout perhaps? Totally shake things up with a red lip?<\/p>\n

Myself and the other\u00a0Allure<\/em>\u00a0editors had our strongest bets on a messy bun and we were about half correct. Under her veil and tiara (details on that in a second), Markle’s hair was secured into what I would describe as a mega bun \u2014 created by hairstylist\u00a0Serge Normant\u00a0\u2014 much more stylized than we’re used to seeing on her. Instead of throwing her hair into a ponytail and twisting the tail into a knot, Normant curled the ends and pinned them into a hair “sculpture,” the sides of which could be seen peeking out behind her ears as she sat listening to the sermon and choirs.<\/p>\n

She kept her middle part with face-framing layers left loose (some even left unpinned and hanging over or tucked behind her ears), giving the intricate updo a casual touch \u2014 a common feature we’re so used to seeing in America, but not so much among British royals. According to\u00a0People,\u00a0<\/em>Normant called it a “messy bun.” “Messy in a controlled way \u2014\u00a0making sure it doesn’t become a whole mess after a few hours!” he reportedly said at Kensington Palace in London. I’m sure people will be divided on whether or not it was\u00a0too<\/em>\u00a0messy and easy for a royal wedding, but I personally think the easiness of it was a great way to infuse a bit of modernity into a very traditional event.<\/p>\n

Normant has his own line of hair-care and\u00a0styling products, so I would bet he had them handy for such an important an event. The French-born hairstylist has worked on many\u00a0Allure<\/em>\u00a0shoots, some of which I’ve had the pleasure to be on, and I would guess for this look he probably used his\u00a0Meta Luxe Hairspray<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Allure<\/em>\u00a0editor favorite, the\u00a0Meta Sheer Dry Oil Finishing Spray<\/a>.<\/p>\n
