When Kate Middleton stepped out for the Festival of Remembrance alongside the rest of the royal family [1], she stood out because of one small detail: her sparkly padded headband from Zara. Now, I can hardly imagine Kate Middleton walking into Zara and selecting this hair accessory herself, but at some point in time, she must've scanned the site — that or she's just well versed in this year's holiday trends [2].
Kate Middleton rarely has bad hair days [3], as far as we're concerned, but this is the exact type of piece we'd like to have on hand if we were suffering through one ourselves during the holiday season. Slip it on with your LBD (the designer of Kate's midnight navy iteration is unknown), and you're good to go.
Kate finished her own outfit with velvet Jimmy Choo pumps and the queen's pearl drop earrings, which she's worn before. Her Alexander McQueen clutch helped her to easily pull off navy and black shades, and her sapphire engagement ring [4] added a touch more shine. While Kate's bead-adorned headband did momentarily sell out, Zara has restocked the item quickly enough. Keep reading to zoom in on the design, then scoop it up for yourself or shop a similar option.
