Kate Middleton's Complete Beauty Transformation Through The Years
2005
image

Before she was royalty, Kate Middleton was always a natural beauty, pictured here at her graduation from university, with Prince William at her side.

At a friend’s wedding, she looked gorgeous, but not as polished as in the years to come.

2006

Long waves at another wedding, this time at the nuptials of Laura Parker-Bowles, the daughter of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Photo: Getty
2006
image

At a store opening in 2006, she showcased a fuller side-fringe, a style quite on-trend at the time.

Just before her not-to-last split from Prince William, his future bride was snapped wearing natural make-up with a hint of pink lipstick and mascara.

2008
image

Dark kohl eyeliner was a make-up stalwart before she officially become a royal. At the races in 2008 Middleton teamed it with loose natural hair underneath a hat.

2009
image

Despite the presence of photographers, the then-girlfriend of Prince William was able to enjoy a less formal approach to dressing and beauty back at a Polo match in 2009.

Photo: Getty

2009
image

She looked particularly tanned in 2009, when attending a wedding in London.

Photo: Getty

2010
image

In 2010, the royal couple’s engagement was announced. The now Duchess of Cambridge lined her eyes with deep blue eyeliner to match her soon-to-be a sell-out Issa dress.

2011

A slightly messy ponytail worked wonders for combating the wind in 2011.

2011

As the whole country watched, Catherine married her Prince Charming. Her bridal glow was exacerbated by pink blush and loose ringlet curls.

Photo: Getty

2011
image

As the newlyweds went on their official tour to Canada, the Duchess looked every inch a royal, with groomed make-up and bouncy, structured waves.

Photo: Getty

2011
image

A few highlights and a sleeker style had lightened the royal’s hair by the summer of 2011.

Photo: Getty

2012
image

The royal found one of her signature hairstyles early on. She wore her locks in loose, low ringlets in 2012 , a style she still wears today.

Photo: Getty

2012
image

Pretty-in-pink make-up across her eyelids and cheeks helped add to the Duchess’ radiant complexion while abroad in 2012.

2012

While away in the Solomon Islands, she let the humidity naturally add relaxed texture to her curls.

Photo: Getty

2012
image

The sun had lightened the Duchess’ hair to a honeyed-brown shade during the royals’ Malaysian tour.

While pregnant with her first child, Prince George, she frequently wore her hair in loose waves, showcasing the additional body her tresses had.

Photo: Getty

2013
image

Introducing Prince George to the world, family portrait-style, the Duchess chose full, bouncy curls and a slightly richer hair colour.

Photo: Getty

2013
image

In a different style for the royal, she chose a sleek ponytail with relaxed, loose strands left out at the front to frame her face at the end of 2013.

Photo: Getty

2014
image

The Duchess’ very long hair allowed her to try fuller ringlets at The Portrait Gala, teamed with deep blue eye make-up that matched her gown.

Photo: Getty

2014
image

Balancing out her bold brows and dark eye make-up, the royal choose to secure her hair off her face, but not without adding a hint of a bouffant to the crown first.

Photo: Getty

2014
image

By 2014, the Duchess has nailed how to accessorise a sleek ponytail without fussiness- simply tying a few loose strands around her hairband.

Photo: Getty

2015
image

The signature glossy curls were back in place for the media’s first glimpse of Princess Charlotte.

Photo: Getty

2015
image

Her hair looked thick and very healthy in October 2015. A more prominent fringe was also cut in that year.

Photo: Getty

2015
image

Using her fringe to add body and softness to her look, the royal also wears the occasional ponytail for daytime events.

Photo: Getty

2016
image

The Duchess’ skin was positively glowing whilst skiing with her family in 2016.

Photo: Getty

2016
image

By the time of the royal couple’s trip to India, the Duchess’ hair was shorter and thick curls gave the style lots of sleek body despite the heat.

Photo: Getty
2016
image
This formal up-do was groomed to perfection, making the royal look every inch a Duchess.

2016
image

At church for Christmas Day, her hair was straighter than usual but no less sleek and styled.

Photo: Getty

2017
image

After Christmas, the royal’s hair was bigger and bouncier than ever.

Photo: Getty

2017
image

Avoiding fussy accessories, her hair is often pinned back nowadays, using twists and half-up, half-down hairstyles to keep it neat.

At the 2017 BAFTAs, she wore her hair in a voluminous up-do, paired with heavier make-up than usual, comprising of thick flicks of kohl eyeliner.

Photo: Getty

2017
image

On more solemn occasions, the royal often wears dark, graphic eyeshadow to open up her eyes and match her outfit.

Photo: Getty

2017
image

Alongside an otherwise natural base, a swipe of blush is a popular choice for adding a youthful glow to the Duchess’ cheeks.

Photo: Getty

2017
image

A low chignon is a stylish way for the royal to negotiate headwear, including at her sister Pippa Middleton’s wedding.

Photo: Getty

image

At Wimbledon this year, the royal showcased a new shorter hairstyle, dubbed “the Middy cut”.
