So far, on her royal visit to Australia with husband Prince Harry, Meghan Markle has baked her own banana bread to visit a local farm and kicked off her wedges on the beach for a meeting with OneWave, a nonprofit surf community focused on raising awareness of mental health issues.

Throughout the couple's tour, Markle has subtly experimented with her style, and now her hair.

On Friday, during a visit to MacArthur Girls High School in Sydney, Markle was spotted sporting an elegant, brand-new hairdo: a half-up, half-down style that's heavy on volume at the crown of her head.

Markle's voluminous 'do is a departure from her casual bun or loose curls. She may have even been wearing a Bump-It, as a Glamour article suggests.

The half-up style can be hard to pull off without looking like you're going to prom, but Markle manages to make it look easy.
