Meghan Markle—the Duchess of “I’m Just Like You, I Swear”—stepped out for a low-key soirée, ditching the palace intrigue for…haircare. Yes, haircare. The 43-year-old showed up to Gjelina, one of L.A.’s most paparazzi-friendly restaurants (subtle, right?), to back her hair colorist Kadi Lee at the launch of her new line, Highbrow Hippie. Because when your roots are royally blessed, you must pay it forward.
Of course, Meghan didn’t just hover awkwardly in the corner nibbling on hors d’oeuvres. No, she posed for pics with Kadi and her longtime hairstylist Serge Normant, looking effortlessly chic while reminding everyone that she’s in the business of good hair days.
And let’s talk about that cheeky revelation. “I was using boxed dye when I met her!” Meghan reportedly quipped, sending shockwaves through royal-watchers who thought her hair was naturally imbued with angelic light. Imagine it: the Duchess of Sussex with a $7.99 drugstore kit, battling drips and praying she didn’t end up with a streaky mess. Relatable Queen energy, anyone?
But wait, there’s more. Meghan isn’t just a fan of Highbrow Hippie; she’s an investor! Dropping some cash and some serious praise, she gushed to InStyle, “Kadi has a mastery of hair health, and her Highbrow Hippie collection is a perfect reflection of that. I am so proud to invest in her as a friend and as a female founder.” Translation: “This line is bougie, fabulous, and perfect for your shelfies, so snag it before it sells out!”
Meghan Markle, Duchess of Chic Tresses, is out here proving you can glow up from boxed dye to billionaire haircare mogul investor—while still making time for a little L.A. glitz.
