Kate Middleton Debuts a Shocking New (Short) Hair Change

Kate Middleton Debuts a Shocking New (Short) Hair Change

Though Kate Middleton has dabbled with sideswept bangs and lots of layers, the Duchess of Cambridge generally keeps things pretty standard, sticking to a bouncy blowout or soft waves. But just weeks after making her shortest hair appearance yet with a wavy lob, the soon-to-be mama of three just went even shorter.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - NOVEMBER 12: (EMBARGOED FOR PUBLICATION IN UK NEWSPAPERS UNTIL 48 HOURS AFTER CREATE DATE AND TIME) Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge attends the annual Remembrance Sunday Service at The Cenotaph on November 12, 2017 in London, England. This year marks the first time that Queen Elizabeth II watched the service from a balcony rather than lay her own wreath, instead Prince Charles, Prince of Wales laid her wreath on her behalf.

Middleton stepped out over the weekend at the Remembrance Sunday Service in London, England, and she bundled up in a Dolce & Gabbana black suit, black gloves, and a stylish black hat. She finished the look with three paper poppies pinned to her coat, a symbol of remembrance of fallen service men and women.

And while the whole look was very much in keeping with Middleton’s regal wardrobe, the 35-year-old decided to do something totally different with her hair: She was sporting a bob!

But before you start thinking she’s shorn her enviable, shiny locks, Elle reports that her waves are simply curled under and hidden beneath her broad-brimmed hat, giving the Duchess a chance to test the short-haired look for a day without fully committing.

Only time will tell if the Duchess is going to go under the scissors for a full chop, but we know she’ll look as effortless and flawless as always if she does.
