The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, never fails to make a statement with her fashion choices, but her recent braided bun hairstyle has taken the spotlight! On November 11, she attended a Remembrance Service, looking effortlessly elegant, but it was her hair that stole the show.
A Royal Hairstyle Evolution:
Kate, known for her signature loose waves, surprised us with a sophisticated side bun, intricately braided and twisted. This unique style, a departure from her usual look, caught the attention of many, including HELLO!'!s Lifestyle Writer, who has been documenting her hair transformations for years.
The Expert's Take:
Award-winning hairstylist Suzie McGill, with decades of experience, agrees that this hairstyle is a masterpiece. She praises the combination of Kate's personal style and elegance, noting the twists and swirls that add a captivating touch. The side placement, according to Suzie, enhances Kate's features beautifully.
A Respectful Choice:
For the solemn occasion, Kate's hairstylist opted for a refined and understated look. Suzie explains that the hairstyle's quiet elegance and controlled finish were perfect for the day's tone. The side bun added a personal touch, complementing her accessories and tailored outfit.
The Royal's Hair Journey:
This braided bun is just one of Kate's stunning updos. From the crossover bun on St. Patrick's Day to the swirly style at the James Bond premiere, she has consistently showcased her versatility. One of her most memorable looks was the French braid bun with a bouffant effect, worn at the 2012 Olympic Concert. And who can forget the pearl-adorned pins she added to her twisted bun during her Diamond Jubilee Tour?
Replicating the Look:
To achieve this royal-approved hairstyle, start with a smooth base using a serum or cream. Create a deep side part and gather your hair into a low ponytail. Twist and loop sections into knots, securing with grips. Pin and weave for a cohesive, intricate bun. Finish with hairspray and shine spray for a polished look.
Kate's hairstyles always spark interest, and this braided bun is no exception. But here's where it gets controversial—is it appropriate to discuss and replicate a hairstyle worn at a solemn event? Share your thoughts in the comments! Do you think it's a respectful way to honor her style, or should certain looks remain exclusive to specific occasions?
