    Kate Middleton, now Princess of Wales, has become a global fashion and beauty icon.

    One signature element of her look that draws constant attention is her gorgeous hairstyles, especially her bangs.

    Kate Middleton’s bangs through the years

    Let’s take a walk through Kate’s most memorable bangs looks over the past two decades.

    2005: The side-swept fringe

    Long before becoming royalty, Kate favored a relaxed, side-parted fringe back in her early days with Prince William.

    She showcased a casual blown-out style with a side-swept fringe at her 2005 university graduation. This framed her face nicely and gave a carefree vibe fitting her young student days.

    2006: The bottleneck bang

    In 2006, we saw Kate experiment with a fuller fringe that gave a sophisticated look. However, experts note this sort of blunt cut closed her face shape.

    She soon learned that softer, wispier bangs flatter her best.

    2010: Long side fringe

    For her iconic engagement announcement with Prince William in 2010, Kate went with her trademark blowout and a simple, longer side fringe.

    This polished look with subtle layers would soon become her go-to style in her early royal years.

    2012: The symmetrical side fringe

    In 2012, the newly minted Duchess of Cambridge debuted a slightly blunter fringe, cut sharply across her eyebrows.

    Many saw this as a purposeful distraction from her first pregnancy announcement.

    2015: The mum fringe

    After Princess Charlotte’s birth, Kate chopped a signature “mum fringe” with almost curtain-like length.

    This framed her face softly and gave a mature yet graceful post-baby look.

    2020: Sweeping fringe

    Kate understands a fringe flatters as one gets older, softening the angles of the face.

    In 2020 she showed off a sweeping fringe that gently framed her cheekbones. Effortlessly chic!

    2023: Curtain bangs

    Just this year, Kate switched things up with wispy, ’70s-style curtain bangs. Reminiscent of Farrah Fawcett, this modern shag cut with face-framing layers gives Dimension and intrigue.

    Vintage beauty at its finest!

    A Style that stands the test of time

    No matter the decade, Kate Middleton’s iconic hairstyles and bangs showcase her natural elegance.

    She knows how to pick cuts that flatter her face shape and enhance her beauty. Though subtle, her fringe tweaks always garner global attention.
