The Meghan Markle effect à la messy bun! These celebrities have also made this hairstyle iconic

Meghan Markle, or as we now call her, the Duchess of Sussex, made the messy bun her distinctive, signature hair style. She likes it so much that she even styled her hair into a messy bun the day of her wedding to Prince Harry. But decades before we fell in love with Meghan Markle’s hair-do, other celebrities rocked this hairstyle in a seemingly effortless and elegant way. Stars like Katharine Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot wore it often and with a very chic sexiness that helped make them timeless icons of style.
