Megan Marchant: Chaos, Comedy & Budget Beauty Wins

Season 3, Ep. 12

This week on The School Runway, Cara and Bronagh are joined by the outrageous and hilarious Megan Marchant, creator, mum, hat lover, and queen of hyper chaotic content.


From inflatable fancy dress disasters to viral Lee Evans impressions, Megan spills all on her unexpected journey from smoothie bowls to 100k followers, her love of hats, wigs (and backup jackets), and what it’s really like creating content with kids and a judgemental dog watching on.


Megan’s creative roots go back to her art and design studies, followed by a stint as a hairdresser. Her love for colour and styling now shines through in her interiors, bold, playful, and full of personality. From paint choices to cosy touches, her home is a true reflection of her vibrant eye and evolving taste.

Megan also shares her unapologetically honest take on beauty, favouring budget buys where possible that actually work for her. Megan proves you don’t need a platinum budget to glow.


Expect unfiltered stories, questionable deodorant confessions, style inspo from Asda to interiors, and a LOT of laughs. 

It’s chaos, concealer and connection, with three mums muddling through the mayhem and still managing to laugh about it.
