Kate Middleton Steps Out With A Rare Ponytail For A Royal Engagement
The mom-of-three stepped out in Pulborough, England, on September 30th to visit the West Sussex Minibus, a volunteer-led community transport organization celebrating its 50th anniversary. During the engagement, she visited a local resident and attended a lunch at Pulborough Village Hall, where she chatted with members of the community.
For the occasion, Kate traded her usual hairstyle for a sleek, elevated ponytail. Her highlighted brunette locks were pulled back, and the ends were soft, loose waves, giving the classic hairstyle an elegant feel. She paired the unexpected hairstyle with a gray ensemble consisting of a chic coat, silk tie-neck blouse, and long pleated trousers, finishing the look with burgundy accessories.
It isn't often that the Princess of Wales steps out in a ponytail hairstyle, as most of the time, her long hair is worn down in loose yet sophisticated curls, or she is stunning in an updo paired with some kind of fascinator hat. Therefore, this was a pleasant mix-up.
Fans React To Kate's Rare Ponytail On Social Media
Kate's ponytail quickly stood out to royal fans, particularly because she doesn't frequently wear her hair this way during public appearances. The softer, bouncy style gave her signature look a fresh spin, and fans were quick to praise the unexpected change that earned her a lot of praise on social media.
"That ponytail!" a fan commented on Facebook. "Who else can make a plain old ponytail look that great?"
"I like her hair up!" wrote a user, as another fan added, "I absolutely adore her."
"She's so effortlessly beautiful and chic," they continued.
"I love her hair up; she doesn't play with it!" a user added.
We'll be curious to see if the positive feedback from last week's ponytail on the future queen ends up pushing her and her styling team to try some more sophisticated yet playful hairstyles for the rest of the year. Or, perhaps, it'll remain another rare trend for the Princess of Wales.
