Duchess Kate's best headband moments

There's no denying that the Duchess of Cambridge is a style trailblazer! Though she's always been a fan of a good headband (remember the time she brought back the faux hair headband while visiting Canada in 2016?), the royal recently reintroduced a new kind of hairband into her wardrobe for Prince Louis' christening in 2018. Ever since, other members of the Royal Family – like Princess Beatrice at her sister's wedding! – have been rocking the look.

For a surprise church appearance – her and Prince William's first public outing in 2019 – Kate donned one of her favourite colours. The beautiful blue Catherine Walker coat was topped off with a matching blue crepe headband by none other than her go-to headpiece designer, Jane Taylor.

It's one of the most exciting outings of the year for royal watchers, and Duchess Kate didn't disappoint! Joining other members of the Royal Family for Christmas Day services at Sandringham, Kate stunned in a berry hued coat dress paired with a burgundy topper by – you guessed it! – Jane Taylor. The headband featured another of the mother of three's current obsessions: velvet bows!

While attending a service to mark the centenary of the Armistice at Westminster Abbey in 2018, the mother of three paired her stunning emerald green Catherine Walker coat with an equally stunning velvet halo band by Jane Taylor.

This was the headband that started it all! Ever since the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in this stunningly intricate Jane Taylor headpiece for Prince Louis' christening in July 2018, many royals have taken up the trend – and we love it. She paired the floral and lace design with a cream dress by her go-to fashion house, Alexander McQueen.

There's nothing quite as chic as a headband for a good cause! Prince William, Duchess Kate and Prince Harry all sported turquoise headbands to support Heads Together, a mental health initiative the trio created under their Royal Foundation. The royals paused for a sweet photo at Kensington Palace after announcing they'd be part of the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon Charity of the Year.

The duchess breathed new life into an old trend in 2016! While arriving in a traditional canoe at Skidegate Heritage Centre in British Columbia, she rocked a chic hair braid headband.

Prince George was pointing at something while the family attended the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in 2016 ... But our eyes were on Kate's headband! The cute leopard-print accessory perfectly held back her long brunette locks on a windy summer day.

This time, Kate wasn't the only one donning a headband! During the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's 2012 Diamond Jubilee tour of Singapore, Malaysia, the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu, the couple donned floral crowns while sipping on a refreshing beverage. Fun fact: they were drinking coconut milk from a tree planted by the Queen in 1982!

Make no mistake – the duchess keeps it stylish on the slopes, too! An avid athlete, Kate carried her skis over her shoulder while on a 2005 trip to Klosters, Switzerland. Just beneath her ski goggles, the now-duchess wore a bold red headband to keep her ears warm.
