Kate Middleton Stuns During Surprise School Outing—And Her Subtle Hair Transformation Is Everything

Now, Middleton’s hair always looks flawless, but there was a subtle difference this time. For Tuesday’s outing, she opted for an off-centered part with voluminous, beachy waves—think loose curls with a little extra bounce. At first glance, it might not seem like a major change, but when you compare it to her previous appearance, the difference is clear. Just days earlier, she wore her hair in a much larger curl, almost blending into one big wave rather than the more scattered curls and waves she sported at the gallery.

Of course, no matter how she styles it, Middleton always looks stunning as she continues championing important causes. Reflecting on the visit, she took to Instagram to share photos from the day.

“It was fantastic to see The Centre for Early Childhood’s Shaping Us Framework, which is based on key science, expressed in such an innovative, creative and fun way at the National Portrait Gallery today,” she wrote.

Middleton went on to praise the Bobeam Tree Trail, calling it “a brilliant example of how organisations can embrace the principles of social and emotional development, and the Centre’s framework, to engage children and families in their communities.”
