1Tumbling curls
Chris JacksonKate Middleton gave her signature glossy blowdry a romantic update for her visit to the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, sporting tumbling curls and tendrils.
The Duchess Of Cambridge stepped out for the athletics event in an all white suit and delicate silver jewellery, and completed her minimalist look with side-parted, undone curls. We're calling it, this might be the longest we've ever seen the royal's hair and we're feeling the modern Rapunzel vibes.
2Intricate woven updo
Samir HusseinKate Middleton was clearly feeling the awards season vibes with her latest elegant updo.

3Shorter glossy waves
Max Mumby/IndigoShe might be a Duchess but Kate Middleton still has a few things in common with us, namely her love of cute dogs and the urge to try a new year hair switch up.
For her latest appearance visiting the Foundling Museum in London, the Duchess of Cambridge sported freshly chopped shorter hair that reached just below her shoulders. Compared to her pre-Christmas tumbling locks, Middleton's new shorter length channelled strong 'new year's trim' vibes.
The 40-year-old also opted for a vibrant new colour to see in 2022, giving her highlighted caramel brown shade a rich chocolate overhaul.
4Large bouncy curls
Handout//Getty ImagesMiddleton regularly changes up her hairstyle, whether it's a braided updo on the red carpet or a neat ponytail for royal events, but it seems the mother-of-three is opting to sport large bouncy curls ahead of the Christmas period.
Weeks after she wore super tight curls at The Royal Variety Performance, the Duchess of Cambridge sported loose curls at the Together at Christmas Westminster Cathedral event.
The look can be achieved using a curling tong which has a large barrel size (from one inch) for long hair, and a slim barrel for those with shorter locks.

6Intricate Grecian updo
Max Mumby/IndigoKate Middleton sent the internet into meltdown as she stepped onto the red carpet for the long-awaited James Bond No Time To Die premiere in a glittering gold Jenny Packham gown complete with embellished cape. But, the part of the Duchess' ensemble that stole our attention? Her intricately woven Grecian-style updo. Stepping away from her signature bouncy blowdry and more classic updos she's worn in the past, Middleton opted for an elaborate swirled updo that gave a nod to the old Hollywood hair worn by stars of the sixties such as Barbra Streisand.
