highlights. The British royal family members aren&#8217;t going to debut hot pink hair or wear bright red lipstick\u2014they&#8217;ve got all those unofficial rules and protocols to follow!\u2014but it appears that one member <em>did<\/em> change her hair color recently. Unless my eyes deceive me, it looks like Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales and a truly iconic brunette, is tiptoeing closer and closer to blonde.<\/p>\n<p>No, the Princess did not go platinum blonde, but it certainly looks like she lightened up her signature brunette hair color for the spring season. The fresh color popped up when Middleton and Prince William traveled to Scotland to celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary and fulfill some royal duties. She wore her hair down and loose in a soft blowout style, which was lovely, but it was the color that really caught our attention. It&#8217;s not <em>blonde,<\/em> per se, but it&#8217;s definitely lighter\u2014basically, Middleton&#8217;s new shade is the ideal definition of bronde, or a fusion of brown and blonde.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-fkZDUs kHRAYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eEeytc eRSvCP asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-zEXFr koTknX responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cIfZLr fHIkTW asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kate Middleton Princess of Wales appears in Scotland.

Middleton stuck to her trademark warm tones, lightening her brunette base just a level or two for a subtle enhancement\u2014not quite honey or wheat blonde, but rather a glimmering hint of gold that catches the light beautifully. True to form, the Princess of Wales kept her makeup soft and delicate, with a peachy-rose shade on her cheeks and lips.<\/p>\n<p>Middleton has dabbled in lighter, blonder tones before, but it&#8217;s been awhile. She had fun with the color in 2019, starting with caramel highlights and then lightening up <em>again<\/em> with a gold-honey glaze. In summer 2020, she showed off chunky bronde highlights. Sometimes the simplest beauty tweaks can make the biggest impact, and TBH, we won&#8217;t be surprised if the princess goes even blonder in the next few months.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>More celebrity beauty news:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vanessa Hudgens&#8217;s Negative Space Neon Manicure Combines So Many Nail Trends<\/li>\n<li>Only Florence Pugh Could Blend the &#8217;60s and the &#8217;80s Into One Hairstyle<\/li>\n<li>Kristen Stewart Is Allowed to Get Married With Visible Roots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"GridWrapper-cFSKbf cxzKYj grid grid-margins grid-items-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hkPQhP lnoYVP grid-layout--adrail narrow wide-adrail\" data-journey-hook=\"grid-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"GridItem-beYvyV kCPYUp grid--item grid-layout__content\">\n<div class=\"BodyWrapper-kzyFNv HDJd body body__container article__body\" data-journey-hook=\"client-content\" data-testid=\"BodyWrapper\">\n<div class=\"body__inner-container\">\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Now, watch Rachel Zegler get ready for her day:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Follow<\/em> Allure <em>on<\/em>\u00a0<em>Instagram<\/em><em>and<\/em>\u00a0<em>TikTok, or<\/em>\u00a0<em>subscribe to our newsletter<\/em><em>to stay up to date on all things beauty.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p> Source URL: https:\/\/www.allure.com\/story\/kate-middleton-bronde-hair-color<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIGHT AND BRIGHT Do My Eyes Deceive Me, or Did Kate Middleton Change Her Hair Color?
