Kate Middleton Debuts New Hairstyle (and Color) for Winter

However, it seems after just a few short months, the 38-year-old has ditched her highlights for a new winter look. And we kind of love the commitment.

On Monday—one day after the royal family attended the Remembrance Sunday ceremony in London—Middleton participated in a video chat with family members of the armed forces who had lost loved ones. During the meeting, the duchess learned about the support given by the Royal British Legion, which provides lifelong resources to those who have served with the British Armed Forces as well as their families.

For the occasion, the mother of three opted for a black-and-white top adorned with a poppy brooch. However, it was her new, darker, chocolate-brunette hair that really caught our attention.

But her darker locks weren’t the only change. Instead of her usual gorgeous blowout, Middleton went for a sleek, straight ‘do that she kept pushed back behind her shoulders.
