Duchess Kate’s New Sun-Kissed Hair Colour Is Perfect For All Skin Tones

Duchess Kate stepped out with a fresh new hair colour and it has us swooning. The 37-year-old royal, who is known for her signature warm brown hair which she usually styles with a bouncy blowout, refreshed her brunette locks recently with stunning caramel highlights.

She debuted her new hair colour at the Addiction Awareness Week gala dinner in London on June 12, wearing it with voluminous waves and a side part. This lighter, sunkissed shade also caught the light at all angles, making her hair look super shiny, smooth and healthy.

The best part of this warm caramel colour is that it’s actually a really universally-flattering shade. This sweet (pun unintended) brown hue gives the appearance of sun-kissed locks that can really brighten up your complexion and give you a healthy youthful glow. Plus, it’s totally office-appropriate so you don’t have to worry about HR coming after you. If you’re worried, just tone down the amount or intensity of the highlights.

Check out 15 ways to wear caramel hair that’s good enough to eat:

A beautifully-blended balayage (hand-painted highlights) is perfect for working women! This one reminds us of mocha caramel frappucino.

If big waves aren’t your thing, opt for more subtle but still stunning Korean-style c- or s-curls.

The warm caramel highlights give your hair so much more depth and dimension, and keeps your hair from looking flat.
