I think she may have over combed the crown. Lots of people saying it looks like a wig.

Ok, apologies to her if that's the case. It's so difficult for women with chemo side effects.

That's a nice outfit on Kate. i like the jacket and shirt with plain trousers. She's also wearing flat shoes that look like a new choice.

If I was being critical I would say that her hair is too long now. I quite like the lighter colour but I'd cut a good 6 inches off it.

Sidebeforeself · 04/09/2025 12:14

I like the change of colour for summer but agree it needs a good cut

HollyhockDays · 04/09/2025 12:21

In some photos she has it tucked behind her ears and it looks much better. She would’ve been better with a bobble on her wrist and quickly tying it back in the rain. I think it looks a bit messy for a public engagement.

LhudeSingCuccu · 04/09/2025 12:22

Sorry Kate, but the hair looks absolutely daft.

gingercat02 · 04/09/2025 12:30

I know it's a museum visit in the autumn but those are very dull outfits from both.
I'm another who hates her hair. It makes her face look really small. Get it cut and wear it down your back (or tied back or up) please

Cassiope · 04/09/2025 12:49

@gingercat02 Agree a bit of colour would have been good and given Kate's penchant for echoing the 'theme' of an engagement in her outfit, I'm sad she missed the opportunity to borrow an insect brooch from her MIL.

Chewbecca · 04/09/2025 12:51

It looks to me like she is wearing a new hair topper, one which might work better with evening wear. I know a couple of people who own them who are upset by their menopause induced hair thinning.

The outfit looks fine & fit for purpose, but Kate looks like someone who doesn't want people to comment on their outfit so I can only say, sorry!

justasking111 · 04/09/2025 13:44

Well I never got the hang of back combing which when done well looks great.

Her outfit reminds me of sons friends wives who took up shooting, they're very good btw . Those jackets are typical of what they would wear.

FawnDrench · 04/09/2025 13:47

The hair sort of overwhelms her and is far too long in my opinion.
They both look a bit bland really, but nice to see them out and about.

TheNinkyNonkyIsATardis · 04/09/2025 13:53

Nobody suits that hair. It's very "Apprentice candidate on You're Fired" where they come back with an excess 6" of extensions.

smilesy · 04/09/2025 14:05

The headline photo makes her hair look really strange on top but all the other photos I’ve seen it’s looks quite normal. Maybe a gust of wind caught it 🤷‍♀️

MrsArcher23 · 04/09/2025 15:53

Good to see Kate out and about but she looks very tired and drawn. The new hair colour is nice but she needs to thin it out (assuming it’s not a wig?) and cut about 6/8 inches off the end. It’s wearing her today.

sundayfundayclub · 04/09/2025 16:09

Kate looked a real mix match of style today, outfit from Teresa Mays wardrobe paired with TOWIE hair. There has to be extensions in there, it looked so wide & wore her as pp said.

Sidebeforeself · 04/09/2025 16:33

If I’d been in the rain like that though I’d look like a dandelion , so I think she’s done well really!

sundayfundayclub · 04/09/2025 16:33

Fair point, my hair would be massive! 😆

She does look tired doesn’t she, especially considering she’s been on hols. Hope she’s ok.

The more I see of that Liechtenstein wedding dress the more I like it actually. The sleeves are a bit weird, but I like the stripes (I love stripes) are lovely and add interest and I quite like the neckline too.

I love the dress too.

IDareSay · 04/09/2025 17:02

Definitely something a bit odd about the crown:

I think it’s maybe a topper or clip in hair. She’s maybe conscious of thinning hair post treatment. If she wants to use added hair I think she can do better than this.

frugalkitty · 04/09/2025 18:38

I'm not a fan of the colour, I don't think it suits her. Also agree that it's too long. Liked her outfit though, suited the occasion nicely.

HollyhockDays · 04/09/2025 18:49

Her jacket and trousers were lovely! Not keen on the shoes.

Papergirl1968 · 04/09/2025 21:30

Camilla visited Dulwich Picture Gallery. I think we’ve seen this dress before, fairly recently.
I’m not keen on Kate’s lighter hair colour and it looks too long and thick and overwhelming her face. She does look tired and drawn.

RockaLock · 04/09/2025 21:36

I don’t think that colour hair is flattering for Kate, it is making her look more washed out and tired than usual.

I do hope it is nothing more than that though 🙁

Sad to hear about the death of Giorgio Armani. This is a great compilation of his outfits as worn by the royals.

I think this is my absolute favourite on Queen Mathilde.
