Meghan travelled a lot as a child. Her father was in the United States government, and she lived in Germany, Greece, India, and Lebanon. As a high school student in Virginia, she attempted to model part-time at local department stores, but had little luck. After she didn't get into her first choice of colleges, Meghan was offered a contract by Elite Model Management after entering their Look of the Year contest.

As a model, she has a unique ability to change her look. Her hair color is naturally light brown, but she changes it frequently, usually at least one colour a year. Upon dying her hair red, Meghan became an unexpected star attraction at the spring 1995 fashion shows.

Her 1995 television and print advertising campaign for Finesse Shampoo and Conditioner put her in the public eye.

In 1994, Meghan married Liam Dalton, the president of Axiom Capital Management, a large New York-based investment-management corporation. She wears her wedding ring in some fashion shoots. Liam and Meghan appeared together in a spread in the August 1994 US Vogue, entitled "The Weekenders".

Meghan missed the spring 1996 shows because of the birth of her first child, who appeared with Meghan in her ads for J. Crew and Ellen Tracy Company. Meghan and Liam are now parents of three children: Kelley, Liam, and Lander.

Meghan has since semi-retired from modelling.

Meghan Kelley Douglas was born on 28 January 1970 in Alexandria, Virginia, the daughter of an unnamed United States diplomat whose overseas postings took the family to Germany, Greece, India, and Lebanon before their return to Virginia when she was about nine. Although her father’s identity has never been made public in any credible source, his career shaped much of her early childhood abroad. Douglas married financier Liam Dalton in 1993, and together they have four children: their eldest, Kelley Rain (b. 1995), followed by three younger children including the sons Lander and Cade, both of whom have pursued modelling careers. Douglas was raised in the Irish Catholic tradition.
