I love watching Meghan Markle jet around the world. Her effortlessly chic travel style inspires me to elevate my default messy bun and joggers look, which made me wonder: What style secrets does this style maven have that I could steal? What I learned is so good I have to share it. Hint: even though she has access to any luxury product in the world, most of her style secrets are affordable everyday products.
The bottom line is Meghan’s classic beauty and royal style shine thanks to chic, classic clothing staples paired with beauty goodies I’ve added to my travel routine and keep gorgeous on the go! Here’s how to show up like a million bucks. Goodbye messy bun, hello chic travel style!
Pack Your Clothes In Style With This Royal Luggage Set Lookalike
Arriving in style means towing luggage with serious swag. I absolutely adore this COOLIFE Luggage set that’s basically twinsies with Meghan Markle’s favorite AWAY luggage. It features a carry-on with a convenient front pocket and a larger suitcase for long holidays abroad. I was torn between purchasing them individually or as a set, and finally said, “Why not both?” With their four-way rollers, my luggage easily follows me wherever I roam.
Have A Good Hair Day With Dry Texturizing Spray
Being a jet-set set fashionista might mean I’m flying away, but royal fashion calls for making sure those pesky strands never take flight. Meghan’s trick for eternally glossy locks even after long flights? She sprays this dry texturizing spray from Oribe on a small toothbrush and lightly brushes down any hair that’s not reporting for royal fashion duty.
Be Free To Be You and Me While Traveling
With precious little lives in tow, Meghan Markle knows how to transform a journey into an inspirational moment. This Free To Be You And Me hardcover edition can withstand travel battles while still imparting the timeless wisdom first shared by Marlo Thomas. Plus, my littles and I love singing the classic songs together!
Ooze Celebrity Vibes With These Oversized Sunglasses
Whether channeling Meghan on the Montecito polo fields or Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany’s, oversized sunglasses add heightened glam to any look. Meghan might need an entire luggage brigade for her sunglasses wardrobe, but I’ve found these LeSpecs AIR HEART glasses work for serving up serious style wherever I go.
Keep The Kids Happy With The Perfect Travel Snack Cups
How do I do double duty like a duchess and keep my kitchen clean while keeping the kids fed? With these Dilovely Snack Cups For Toddlers. Made of silicone with handles to give my tots something to hold onto, these are the perfect spill-proof way to get my kids’ snacks from one place to the next in style.
This Tea Tree Oil Is A Miracle Cure For What Ails You
Meghan Markle uses this tea tree oil from the Body Shop for little cuts and breakouts, and I love it! It’s a cure-all for skin conditions on the road. Small enough to travel with and powerful enough to keep unwanted blemishes at bay, it’s the perfect secret royal fashion beauty weapon when the unexpected pops up.
Keep Your Kisser Soft With Advanced Lip Therapy
Ms. Markle knows how to flash a great smile for the cameras, so it’s crucial that her lips always look their best. She’s tried every lip balm under the sun, and this one from Fresh is her absolute go-to for the royal fashion treatment for her lips. In her words, it gives her “soft, buttery” lips. Lucky Harry!
Stay Stylish On The Run With These Comfortable Flats
Though she can hold her own in a heel, even fashion mavens like Meghan need the mobility that flats offer without sacrificing style. I love these flats from MUSSHOE for staying chic when changing gates during a layover or simply exploring your destination.
Channel California Cool With These Cult-Favorite High-Rider Skimp Jeans
There’s a reason Meghan runs around Montecito and beyond in MOTHER jeans: they’re well-made, ultra-stylish, and wear like they’ve been tailored for me. For an effortless look that screams royal fashion but low key, try these MOTHER high-waisted Rider Skimp jeans for the ultimate in casual chic.
Get Just The Right Color With This Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick
Staying timeless and chic sometimes means sporting a nude lip color with just the right amount of tint. Meghan’s go-to for the perfect pouter color is this Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in Very Victoria, which happens to be named after Posh Spice herself. Another plus? It keeps my lips soft, so I never worry about my lips drying out during my travels.
Keep Your Skin Firm and Hydrated With Nivea Body Lotion
How does someone who dons royal fashion with the greatest ease keep her skin looking great? With NIVEA Skin Firming Hydrating Body Lotion. I keep my skin duchess-lovely with a lotion that’s been around forever and packed with antioxidants to keep everything looking tight. How’s that for giving myself royal treatment?
Perfect Your Inner Beauty Glow With Blush In Orgasm
I thought I’d seen this blush before, and I was right: it’s beloved by beauty editors, make-up artists, celebrities, and Meghan Markle. I’m talking about Nars blush in Orgasm. As Meghan has pointed out, “I use it on and off camera because it gives you a nice glow from within.” Who wouldn’t want that?
Calm Irritated Skin With Skin Cream Meghan Swears By
Irritated red and itchy skin is so not a jet-set duchess vibe, which is why Meghan Markle is not caught without this Eucerin Skin Calming Cream when she’s on the go. Am I the only one who loves that so many of her beauty bag secrets are products within total reach of us commoners?
Look Your Best With This Brightening Highlighter
Even if I were blessed with naturally good looks like Meghan Markle, there are still times when I need a little help hiding those inevitable signs of wear after traveling. This Yves Saint Laurent highlighter helps with what she calls her “five-minute face,” helping hide circles or blemishes in a pinch.
Bat Your Eyelashes With Sensational Mascara
Of course she was born with it. Still, those luscious eyelashes are also courtesy of Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Mascara. Meghan Markle is an evangelist of this cheap makeup staple, converting even the professional makeup artists she’s worked with into believers. No need for the designer duds here. I’ve found I can achieve royal fashion heights in surprising ways!
Stay Dry Across The Pond In These Timeless Rainboots
I’m always getting caught in the rain, but these classic rainboots from British label Hunter always save me — if I remember to check the weather report! They come in different colors and heights and go great with a mini. Plus, they give my skinny jeans a country-chic look, as Meghan Markle has demonstrated while donning these fan favorites plenty of times.
