The Princess of Wales is officially the queen of Wimbledon, delighting royal fans as she donned a gorgeous green Emilia Wickstead dress with one-shoulder sash detail at the Men’s Singles Final on Sunday.
The 44-year-old’s beauty look was nothing short of beautiful – she sported lightly defined eye makeup and a slick of berry lip gloss. But did you see her hair?
Although she wore her famous locks loose, the royal wore her curls cascading down her back, and they were only visible as she turned round. As you can see in this picture of her on Centre Court, the ends of Kate’s Rapunzel locks are blonde, while the rest of her hair appears brown. This modern technique is known as Balayage.

Balayage is a sun-kissed, natural-looking hair colour applied freehand with no foils. It can be totally bespoke as experts can tailor shades and highlights. It’s a timeless, low-maintenance way of colouring your hair.

Charlotte and Kate’s twinning hair moment
Princess Charlotte was also present at the final and debuted her longest locks yet, wearing her brunette hair in soft, flowing waves that were strikingly similar to her mother’s signature style.
