The Duchess of Sussex has had a very busy weekend! The wife of Prince Harry headed to a business summit on Saturday in the Hamptons and was seen on beauty extraordinaire Bobbi Brown's Instagram.

WATCH: Meghan Markle's hair: how to recreate those soft waves

Looking fabulous in her trademark neutral colourway, the mother-of-two slipped into snaps subtly, wearing a tailored two-piece outfit by St. Agni and accessorised her look with superstar shades by Heidi Merrick and stunning Cartier gold jewellery. But did you spot her hair?

Meghan is known for her flowing raven locks which she wears either loose and lightly curled, or in a slicked back, messy bun.

In this snap though, Meghan's hair has a slight parting at the front and appears to have been twisted into an undone ponytail, with loose tendrils framing her face. We think you will agree; it looks totally different! It seems we weren't the only ones to spot the change.

Fans took to Bobbi's page to ask if the photo was actually of Meghan. One follower wrote: "Is that Meghan Markle in the tan suit?" Another added: "I was wondering the same thing!" and "Came here to ask the same!" "It looks like her?," a fourth queried.

The event had quite the guest list, including entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima, who founded IT Cosmetics. She shared a selfie with the former Suits star later that evening.

The star-studded bash was hosted by Amy Griffin, a key investor in top-notch beauty brands such as Bumble, Goop and Hello Sunshine. Designer Misha Nonoo and make-up expert Victoria Jackson were both in attendance, and they are great friends of Meghan, who is launching her own lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, very soon.
