Catherine debuts new hair colour as she steps out in bold polka dots

The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her great fashion sense and she regularly steps out in beautiful dresses, however, it was the duchess’ hair that captured people’s attention on Monday as she debuted a brand new look.

Catherine put on a stylish display as she met with families to support the launch of Tiny Happy People, a BBC initiative that supports parents and carers in developing children’s language and communication skills up to the age of four.

And the duchess sported a brand new look for the occasion, as she showed off what appears to be a newly coloured and trimmed hairstyle. Catherine sported honey-coloured highlights and a layered fringe around her face for the outing.

Meanwhile, Catherine looked chic in a £1,565 (AU $2,831) Emilia Wickstead black and white polka-dot dress, which tied at the waist with a matching belt. The duchess completed the look with tan wedges and minimal accessories.

Many royals fans were quick to comment on her new look, with one writing: “Her hair is WOW!!” Another added: “Great work! And she looks awesome!” And a third wrote: “She’s so fab.”

Speaking about the new initiative, the duchess has described the BBC’s new project as “an invaluable source” for families.

“Families and carers are at the heart of nurturing the next generation of happy, healthy adults, but sometimes it can be hard to know where to turn to for advice,” Catherine said in a statement.

“Tiny Happy People is an invaluable resource that provides parents and carers with support and tips, as well as simple activities to ensure children develop the language skills they need to have the best possible start in life. I am delighted to have been part of its journey and hope families across the UK will enjoy exploring the resources.”

It comes just one week after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge teamed up for their first joint, in-person engagement since March, as the couple visited Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn. Their outing was in honour of the NHS’s 72nd birthday earlier this month.

Catherine looked sensational for the occasion wearing a stunning navy blue silk dress, which featured a striking diamond pattern and eye-catching white cuffs and a collar. The stylish frock tied at the waist with a simple belt and the duchess completed the look with a pair of suede navy stilettos and classic gold and pearl earrings.
