The Princess of Wales turned heads as she stepped out on Thursday alongside her husband, Prince William, as the pair headed to the Natural History Museum in London to view their newly transformed gardens. Kate, 43, looked amazing as she rocked noticeably lighter locks following her summer break. The princess was seen arriving at the museum with her usual chocolate brown locks looking blonder than ever, and she swapped her loose mermaid waves for a tighter, more springy style, which emphasised the sandier hues running through her hair.
“When you say ‘princess hair’, this is exactly what I picture,” Melanie Macleod, HELLO!’s Deputy Beauty and Lifestyle Editor, tells us. “Long, tumbling Sleeping Beauty style curls in a golden hue (sorry, brunette ladies). While Princess Kate has never been this blonde before, this ultra-long, voluminous look reminds me of her younger years, back when she was simply Kate Middleton. There’s endless rhetoric over whether women over 40 can have long hair, and Princess Kate proves unequivocally, yes.”

At the time, Kate’s new hair shade was described by celebrity hairstylist Aaron Carlo to HELLO! as ‘smoked suede brunette’ owing to its earthy highlights. Whether it is the work of Kate’s hairstylist or a result of a summer spent in the sun, who knows, but we are obsessed either way, and we’re not alone.

“After months of lightening, highlights, and sun exposure, clients are booking in to take their hair deeper and cooler. This trend not only blends out lighter ends but adds shine, depth, and a healthier, more expensive-looking finish,” Aaron told us.

As far as her outfit on Thursday, Kate opted for an understated style, swapping her fitted dresses and sky-high stilettos for a tweed tailored blazer with a single-breasted silhouette, structured shoulders, and waist-skimming design. It was paired with a (completely crease-free) white shirt with a sharp collar and tucked into a pair of belted black cigarette trousers.

For her footwear, the royal surprised in a pair of brown suede loafers, and the most touching addition – a necklace featuring gold charms in the shape of a ‘G’, a ‘C’, and an ‘L’ in tribute to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. She has previously offered a nod to her children in this way, including in 2021 when she wore the Daniella Draper piece of jewellery on the final day of the royal Scottish tour.
