Kate Middleton Has A New 'Do

by Julia Musto

This morning, the Duchess of Cambridge arrived at a London charity event, rocking a standard LK Bennett outfit. Everything was calm and normal until it dawned on people — Kate Middleton got her hair chopped! She recently cut off 6 whole inches of her sacred, luscious, locks, according to Hollywood Life. Blaspheme!

The world was shocked when, at 33, Middleton got bangs, but the length of her royal do has always been the same. The Duchess has her favored designers, her go-to heels, and Breton top plus jeans look for casual outings, and blowout. So, when she does deviate from the normal routine, it is cause for international hoopla amongst the fashion and beauty community! Middleton, we're not good with change!

It seems that lately, the Duchess has taken more and more courageous fashion steps. Usually, we'd find her in a monochromatic look, signature heels, and royal pearls or sparklies. However, at the Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer’s Llamas premiere in late October, Middleton stepped out in a bold space print dress designed by her friend Tabitha Webb. Additionally, Tuesday evening she wore a tiara for the fourth time ever on the way to the annual Diplomatic Reception. A tiara appearance and a dramatic hair cut back-to-back?! It's ludicrous! It's unthinkable! But, don't panic my friends, because she is crushing these new looks. Here are a few times Middleton has upped her style game in recent memory.

I don't even know what to say. I'm in awe. How can she pull off a huge print gown so effortlessly?

It's classic Hollywood glam, but more on the Marilyn side than the Jackie O side.
