Sophie Grégoire Trudeau's Post-Divorce Style Transformation Has Heads Turning

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau became a global name when her husband Justin Trudeau became prime minister of Canada in 2015 — a role he held until 2025. As the prime minister's wife, Grégoire Trudeau was scrutinized for every fashion choice she made, and sometimes received unfair backlash, like when she chose to wear American designer Oscar de la Renta for a Vogue feature. (She should've opted for a Canadian one, critics said.) During her political posting, she mostly veered toward buttoned-up outfits, such as the monochromatic look she wore to King Charles' coronation. When it came to beauty, Grégoire Trudeau opted for looks that felt very styled, like barrel-rolled curls and a full face of conservative makeup.

In August 2023, the couple sent ripples through the world as they announced their divorce — a rarity for a serving political leader. Since then, something has shifted in Grégoire Trudeau, who turned 50 in April 2025. Her fashion and beauty feels much freer, less contrived, and more "her."

Michelle Obama once referred to Sophie Grégoire Trudeau as a "soulmate," which might be why the latter seems to be taking a page from Obama's playbook. Like Michelle Obama, whose stunning hair transformation has evolved to embrace her natural style, Grégoire Trudeau has stashed her curling and straightening irons away. She's wearing her hair in natural waves, and adopting the trend of celebrities wearing their hair in gorgeous natural styles.

In terms of fashion, Grégoire Trudeau, who runs her own communications firm, is leaning into styles that veer from her prime-minister-wife looks. For example, in her post-divorce era, she's worn sexier lower-cut dresses, leather, and bold colors. As she told Vogue, "I'm like a wild horse in a stall. Sometimes I just want to run in a field."

Grégoire Trudeau is also an author and mental health advocate, who's been doing therapy focused on healing her inner child and leaning into her yoga practice. Her loose, cozy clothing choices also seem to embody this vibe. Altogether, Grégoire Trudeau's style transformation seems to be unfolding into one that really reflects who she is in her current stage of life.
