Jackie 'O' Henderson and her Besties business partner Gemma O'Neill are gearing up to welcome Meghan Markle as the headline guest for their highly anticipated Her Best Life retreat in Sydney next month.

And in the weeks leading up to the event, the radio star appears to have taken some style cues from the Duchess of Sussex, stepping out in a series of Meghan-inspired outfits.

Known in recent years for her edgy, statement-making looks - likely influenced by her fashion-savvy friend Pip Edwards - Jackie is now embracing a softer, more refined aesthetic.

She has been spotted in floaty floral dresses, muted ensembles, and feminine silhouettes - the same aesthetic embraced by Meghan since her departure from the British royal family.

Jackie's new style was on full display on Wednesday as she visited her hairdresser in Bondi Beach clad in an understated black top and white A-line midi skirt.

While Jackie was previously known to stack on the jewellery liberally, she opted for minimal accessories on this occasion, wearing simple gold bangles.

For shoes, she switched her once-loved high heels for practical brown sandals.

She completed her look with an elegant black handbag.

Jackie similarly sported an understated, bohemian look earlier this month when she was seen outside a sound frequency healing clinic in Newtown.

She embraced a dainty aesthetic for the low-key outing, eschewing her formerly fashion-forward wardrobe for a classic white babydoll dress emblazoned with a delicate blue floral print.

Jackie paired this with a simple white canvas bag, two raw gemstone bracelets and brown sandals.

Her understated new style was also on display back in February, when Jackie stepped out in Clovelly wearing a simple black maxi dress.

Her pared-back look featured simple gold jewellery, a black handbag and brown slip-on sandals.

Jackie had previously embraced a 'more is more' mantra when it came to dressing.

She wore an equally fashion-forward look in September while partying with Pip and her fashionable pals at Icebergs in Bondi Beach.

This time she sported a brown button-down shirt worn with a matching micro-mini skirt and black pointy-toed pumps.

And in October, Jackie once again pushed the limits of fashion by pairing a frilly white embroidered top with a pair of white cargo pants and colourful stilettos while out and about in Sydney.

Jackie and her Besties business partner Gemma O'Neill are preparing to welcome Meghan as the headline guest for their highly anticipated Her Best Life retreat in Sydney next month.

The three-day event will be held at the InterContinental Hotel at Coogee Beach in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and will bring together around 300 women for a weekend focused on connection, wellbeing and personal development.

The April 17-19 event is anticipated to bring in nearly $1 million in ticket revenue.

Those who purchase VIP tickets for $3,199 will be privy to a 'group table photo' with the Duchess and seats in the front two rows for the 'gala dinner'.

VIPs will also enjoy an exclusive goodie bag and a premium ocean-view hotel room.

Last week it was reported that Jackie had turned down the opportunity to host or interview Meghan so that Gemma could have her turn in the spotlight.

Speaking about the upcoming retreat in the latest episode of Her Best Life, Gemma said she pleaded with Jackie to helm the event, to no avail.

'I tried to beg her to come and do it, or I tried to beg her to come and, like, take over the event,' she continued.
Gemma said that Jackie's reason for eschewing the event was to give Gemma a chance to break out of her 'private' shell.
'She said: 'I know you don't want to do it, and I know you're nervous because you're very private and you hate doing things,' O'Neill explained.
'You like having career things happening behind the scenes, but you hate being front and centre', which I think you guys know.
'So, you know, I'm going from trying to be private to now it could not be any more front and centre.'
