Kennedy believes this is no accident: “Her choices feel deliberate and more like a conscious move toward comfort, relatability, and ease – without losing that aspirational polish.”

Approachable, modern and authentic

The stylist notes Meghan’s updated look “feels softer, relaxed, effortless and more lived-in,” with cozy knits, breezy dresses and casual silhouettes replacing formal tailoring.

“It signals she’s not trying to perform royalty anymore,” Kennedy explains. “Instead, she’s connecting with people as a modern woman, wife, and mother. Her style feels less like a public figure on a stage, and more like a woman at home letting you into her world.”

Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry have pursued new projects but remain estranged from the royal family. With Love, Meghan season two premieres on Netflix on August 26.
