1. It’s not boring, it’s classic.
Wearing the same hairstyle day in and day out may feel a bit tired, but when you have a look that works for you, there’s no need to mess it up. Kate could wear her hair down every single day, and you wouldn’t hear us complain.

3. A classic updo is everything.
While she doesn’t need to, Kate switches it up every once and again with an updo. The result is a timeless look that oozes grace.
