Iconic horror hostess Elvira has thrown some beauty advice in Meghan Markle’s direction, and it’s causing quite a stir. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, recently shared a hair mishap she had during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Elvira, the “Mistress of the Dark,” whose real name is Cassandra Peterson, didn’t let it slide. She took to social media to share a screenshot of a headline that read, “Meghan Markle jokes she looked like Elvira after using box hair dye during the pandemic.”
Elvira responded on Instagram with a smirk emoji, saying, “Hey princess, if you ever need beauty advice from a queen just let me know.” Fans were quick to react, with one commenting, “Oh Meghan honey you wished that you looked like Elvira.” Another fan wrote, “In her wildest dreams, she looked like Elvira.”
Others praised both women’s looks, with one fan saying, “I’m a big fan of Elvira and Meghan Markle – they’re both stunning, charming, and hilarious.” Another comment read, “Ya’ll gotta lighten up. We love Elvira. Everyone does. But not everyone wants to look like her. Hell, even Elvira doesn’t want to look like Elvira all the time; she’s a redhead! Meghan Markle is the furthest thing from goth. Makes sense she wouldn’t want to look like Elvira. It’s not an insult.”
The viral moment unfolded after Markle shared a hair dye disaster that occurred during the pandemic. She explained that while living in California with her family, she kept experimenting with boxed hair dye in an attempt to achieve a certain look. However, the results were far from what she expected. Instead of the desired outcome, Markle ended up with a shade of black that she likened to Elvira’s iconic gothic style. Her hair horror story caught the attention of the queen of Halloween herself.
In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the decision to step back as senior royals and relocated to California, citing issues with the intrusive U.K. press and lack of support from the palace. Since then, they have welcomed two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and now call the upscale city of Montecito their home. The playful exchange between Meghan Markle and Elvira has brought some light-hearted entertainment to fans, showcasing a humorous side to the Duchess that many may not have seen before. Despite the mishap with the hair dye, Markle continues to captivate audiences with her candidness and relatability, proving that even royalty can have their fair share of beauty blunders.
