Kate Middleton is known for her consistently perfect and bouncy blowouts [1], while her new sister-in-law Meghan Markle [2] has often opted for messy buns [3]. But it seems the new sisters-in-law have switched signature hairstyles for the annual Trooping the Colour [4], a celebration of the queen's official birthday. Meghan chose sleek curls to show off a possible fresh new trim [5], while Kate opted for a chignon similar to Meghan's wedding style [6].

Kate chose a neat and elegant updo, using her favourite old-fashioned trick [7] to ensure all the hairs stay in place. The style showed off her Alexander McQueen dress [8] and blue accessories perfectly. Ahead, get a closer look at Kate's chic updo for the special royal occasion.
