Meghan Markle’s appearance has inspired makeup trends, cosmetic surgery requests, and endless online debate — a surprising turn for someone who once felt “overlooked” and “invisible.”

In her 2022 podcast Archetypes, Meghan told Mindy Kaling she “never had anyone to sit with at lunch” and saw herself as an “ugly duckling.” She recalled having “massive frizzy curly hair and a huge gap in my teeth,” saying she was “the smart one… forever and ever.”

By the mid-2000s, Meghan’s look began evolving. From natural appearances at early red carpets to her polished image on Suits, her “contoured cheekbones, sleek hair, and radiant glow” became her signature.

After marrying Prince Harry, speculation about cosmetic surgery intensified. Dr. Stephen Greenberg said, “Patients started coming to see me… requesting Meghan Markle’s nose.” Others disagreed — Dr. Adam Hamawy stated, “She doesn’t look like she has had any plastic surgery… her natural beauty shows.”

At recent events like Paris Fashion Week 2025, fans debated her transformation. “She lost weight a lot, but still charming lady,” one wrote, while another praised her flawless skin, speculating she’d had “laser resurfacing and peels.”

From a shy teen to a global style icon, Meghan’s evolution reflects confidence, maturity, and self-expression — whatever its secret may be.
