We all know the Duchess of Cambridge loves a hat, but she's also become rather partial to a luxe headband. Whether it's to keep her iconic brunette waves in check, or to add some colour-coordinated chic to her Christmas outfit, Kate's headband choices have consistently scored highly in the fashion stakes.
Kate clearly has her favourite designers — Jane Taylor and Juliette Botterill must be on her speed dial — but she's also turned to high-street stores like Zara to get her headband fix. And the Duchess also has a favoured style. Although she's been spotted in an animal-print plastic number back in the day, Kate's recent choices have all been about making bold statements with either decadent fabrics like velvet and silk, or gorgeous embellishments either in the form of pearls or floral appliqués. She's worn these luxurious styles to christenings, weddings, church services, and Remembrance Days. Ahead, take a look at nine times Kate has worn her headband so very well.
