Kate Middleton is heading into fall with a fresh cut that might look familiar to royal fans who have followed her dramatic hair transformations over the years. The Princess of Wales went back to a look that has worked so well in the past with her thick, luscious waves: the curtains bangs. 

She last wore this style in 2020 just before the pandemic hit when she showed up during a Dublin, Ireland visit, but her hair was shorter in length then. Her current cut is more reminiscent of the style she wore in 2015 — long, shiny, and those curtain bangs on full display. It was just after the birth of Princess Charlotte, so it was the perfect look to rock as a new mom of two.

Kate styled her new ‘do perfectly with an Alexander McQueen navy-blue pantsuit that was expertly tailored to show off her athletic physique. She paired it with a crisp white t-shirt, a simple gold necklace, and a pair of navy heels by Gianvito Rossi. She let her hair become the focal point of the outfit — it was professional and stylish all at once.

The Princess of Wales was making an important appearance for her patronage, Forward Trust, which assists prisoners who are dealing with addiction. She met with some of the inmates to discuss the program while at the men’s correctional facility. Kate has been stepping up into the spotlight with her new title and it has given her a greater focus to her work as she carves a meaningful path for herself as the future queen. Her fashion, and now her hairstyle, are reflecting that newfound confidence as she figures out what it means to be the Princess of Wales.
