Kate Middleton Wore This ’90s Hair Clip and We’re Confused

Kate Middleton Wore This ’90s Hair Clip and We’re Confused

Kate Middleton’s famous locks have launched about a thousand headlines, and usually because she has shiny rich girl hair and it’s always impeccably styled. During a visit to the Anna Freud House in London earlier today, however, the Duchess was spotted wearing a very ’90s hair trend that should have maybe… stayed in the ’90s?

Dig up your babydoll tee and snap on your tattoo choker because are those butterfly clips we see? Yep. The Duchess of Cambridge has her hair elegantly pulled back with two mini claw clips, which you can find in your nearest drugstore’s beauty aisle. And we’re not entirely sure it’s a look we’d bring back.

From the front, the style is simple, elegant and a great solution for when you’re growing out those pesky bangs. Just pull a two-inch section framing either side of your face back, twist the strands and clip. You can also upgrade the look in a breeze with a couple of hidden bobby pins.

And we know Kate definitely has a penchant for ’90s ‘dos, as she sported your fave middle school look, the inside-out pony, in October during a visit to Manchester.

It’s a super stylish look you can achieve by parting your ponytail at the base and pulling the tail through. It’s so simple, you don’t even need a stylist on hand to do it.

What’s next? Scrunchies?
