I love the fringe!

She needs to add on 7 pounds,Mohave a short fringe, blunt and not bounced up like that. She needs less eye liner and a really juicy soft gloss on her lips.

She's a new young mum, she looks worn a bit and frail.

Hesalovernotabiter · 17/09/2015 14:47

Firstly, I like Kate but I did notice she wasn't wearing tights and I just think she really should. Has she had some dental work done or just a too close up photo maybe?

Could the fringe be hiding that awful re growth of hair you get after it all falls out post birth?

TheOriginalWinkly · 17/09/2015 14:54

I had a fringe cut in after DD was born. I have a very large forehead and the hair fall out made me look like I had a proper receding hairline. Mine is a proper fringe though, around eyebrow length.

DuchessOfWeaseltown · 17/09/2015 14:57

Does anybody else think she looks astonishingly like Diana???!

I say this not as a massive royal watcher or even particularly as Diana fan but often (and more so with the new fringe) I look at pics of her and can't get over how much she looks like Diana. In the face, obviously, I know Diana was a short-haired blonde!!

Don't like the fringe on her actually and think the leg-flashing isn't ideal but I do think she is very pretty and elegant (usually).

All I can see is teeth. Scary teeth.

SirChenjin · 17/09/2015 15:13

She's had a lot of work done on her teeth - look at the early photos when she was still just Kate. I think whoever's done the work has possibly added a few.

VivienneO · 17/09/2015 15:51

Ah yes, definitely some new veneers. Her teeth all seem to be the same length now, whereas her second one along in particular was naturally shorter. And even in this pic they had been seen to. Maybe now it's a bit too much!

Its fine but I think children took an awful lot out of her. Perhaps the reality of her life only dawned on her when they arrived.

The pic of her leaving the hospital with george was so lovely and since then she has sort of lost her 'bloom'

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 17/09/2015 16:03

her hair is much nicer in the baby photos..with the yellow dress, that fringe is ridiculous, far too heavy

why does she always stand with her knees bent?

and finally she has worn out those nude shoes...classic black courts it is!

RachelZoe · 17/09/2015 16:09

Still remember when Kim apparently sent them some baby clothes for George before he was born from her baby range and they sent it back unopened

I doubt very much that is true, they might not have kept anything if she did indeed send, but I doubt they would send it back, that would be most ungracious and very rude, regardless of the sender, would be very nasty and snobbish of them, I doubt their PR people would allow it even if they wanted to.

I like her hair, I think she looks very happy at the moment, the color is a little off somehow though.

goldglittershitter · 17/09/2015 16:13

She's gorgeous n her hair is lovely but I do find this sort of fringe a bit frumpy n it is ageing on her. Grow it out quickly, Kate!

squoosh · 17/09/2015 16:14

I think her hair swamps her a bit.

Soon it will be just her hair making these public appearances.

lorelei9 · 17/09/2015 16:15

one of my colleagues showed me this and said "wow, she looks totally different".

I didn't notice anything different, hair or otherwise.

That said, given people's comments about teeth and so on - I am really alarmed at what people notice. I don't think I'm hugely unobservant but the fact that people notice stuff like this makes me wonder what they think of me - I have no idea what I look like 99% of the time.

I guess people who notice those things notice them about everyone - or just celebs?

WipsGlitter · 17/09/2015 16:36

She's wearing nude tights.

BoboChic · 17/09/2015 16:38

I did a forensic examination of the evidence on the zillion photos published by the DM. The fringe is vile - 1970s pudding bowl. Her teeth have had some new help as have her brows and she's botoxed her no 11s.

OOAOML · 17/09/2015 16:44

Her eyes are very starey and her grin is like a fixed rictus. I realise having to go round and meet people all the time and be constantly impressed/amused is probably pretty challenging to carry off convincingly, but that is kind of what she is paid for.

SirChenjin · 17/09/2015 16:51

lorel - I'm normally like you, but those DM photos in the OP really do highlight the teeth. Honestly!

Giraffe5 · 17/09/2015 17:20

I think the fringe looks too disjointed from the rest of her. It makes her look tired. I wonder if it is to disguise the hair loss women have after a baby- you know the receding we get near the forehead and temples!

Giraffe5 · 17/09/2015 17:20

She is absolutely beautiful though and always looks amazing

squoosh · 17/09/2015 17:21

I think she's 'girl next door pretty' rather than absolutely beautiful.

NationalTrustLadyGardens · 17/09/2015 18:02

Not keen. I think maybe George did it.

VenusRising · 17/09/2015 20:33

I think she's trying, (far far too hard with the crazy lady rictus) but, she looks washed out, drawn, her eyes are receded into her face, her skin looks dehydrated and wrinkly. She looks anaemic to my practiced eye Wink
Her hair is too red and that fringe is really naff.

And oh god could she please lose the eyeliner. I think George could do a better job. I suppose she's trying to look like Diana to lure William.

She needs a make over, a new hair style (ditch the long mullet) not to wear black / white or any patterns. She also needs to put on about 5 lbs, and to get some sleep.

In short she looks like a new mum who should have some more maternity leave tbh.

Why is she "back to work"? She deserves two months more at least to recover from the pregnancy and birth.

SmugairleRoin · 17/09/2015 20:54

I don't mind her in general and think she is pretty, but that hair does age her.

AbeSaidYes · 17/09/2015 21:03

It's not a fringe, I think she made a mistake and has been desperately growing it out over the last couple of months. It looks like two haircuts in one.

EmGee · 17/09/2015 21:10

I think it looks good. She's so elegant wish I looked like her!
