I’m always impressed at the variety of updo styles worn by Kate Middleton and other members of the royal family, especially when hats and fascinators are involved. Crafting an on-theme hairstyle that follows the royal rules and fits underneath the various hats is a unique blend of math and science, and for her first appearance at the Armistice Day Service of Remembrance, the Princess of Wales wore a complex knotted side bun with a series of twists, turns, and swirls.<\/p>\n

For the solemn occasion, Middleton wore a long black coatdress and angled hat, under which she tucked an updo made of a series of small buns and swirls. Her golden brown hair was swept to one side, looped, and twisted in an intricate but soft style. Two sections nearest to her face were twisted around each other and pinned near her ear, with the lengths gathered up in a thick knotted, braided swirl of hair tucked up by one ear. The hat was then placed perfectly atop the rolled portion, and she added a pair of ruby and diamond earrings.<\/p>\n

The Princess’s appearance at Armistice Day is a significant one; People<\/em> notes that the ceremony is typically only attended by blood royals on behalf of the royal family. She observed two minutes of silence to remember those who served and died in combat and later met with veterans. Prior to Armistice Day, Princess Kate attended the Remembrance Sunday service wearing her hair down instead of pinned up in a chignon, this time paired with a smaller fascinator versus a broad-brimmed hat.<\/p>\n

Middleton has a wide repertoire of side buns and chignons for such high-profile occasions; in the past, we’ve seen the future queen in a thick, Princess Leia-style side bun and a low wrapped updo, among many others. And I’ve got a feeling there’s more where that came from, as we’re heading into the holiday season\u2014a season primed for all sorts of upstyles!<\/p>\n
