According to The List, on Jan. 27, Kate Middleton stepped out to spend time in nature while supporting Mind Over Mountains, a mental health and wellness charity that uses the healing power of the outdoors to help individuals coping with trauma, depression, and other mental health challenges.
The mother of three turned heads in a dark olive-green jacket paired with brown leggings and sturdy boots. The outfit struck a balance between practical and stylish.
Fans across social media could not stop gushing over the look, flooding the comment sections of fan pages that reposted her photos. While her outfit was effortlessly polished, it was her hairstyle that truly caught attention.
Kate wore her hair pulled back into a side braid, peeking out from beneath an army-green hat. The look marked a refreshing change from her usual soft waves. While this was not the first time Kate has updated her hairstyle — she debuted a lighter shade of blonde last summer — the braid drew particular praise for its simplicity and suitability for the outing.
“I am LOVING the hair braid,” one user wrote on X. “The Princess of Wales’ style is so youthful and effortless.” Another fashion-focused account added, “Obsessed with her hair in a plait!”
Oooh I love her hair in a plait! https://t.co/qcxZhJCw36

Neither Princess Kate nor Prince William has their own personal social media. The duo has an official Instagram account on Instagram @princeandprincessofwales where their team often shares public, official, and, at times, more personal updates.
One fan even compared Kate’s braided look and dark outfit to Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, joking that their two fandoms came together.
Subsequently, there is a common myth that royal women must always wear dresses or skirts. This is not a protocol but rather a choice. The late Princess Diana helped normalize tailored trousers in royal fashion and owned them like nobody else. Princess Kate also been spotted in flared jeans, simple tights and retro boots.

As per Geo News, Kate Middleton’s shift in focus from work to being more dedicated as a mother and wife has been a new approach that she adopted after her cancer was confirmed to be in remission on September 9, 2025.
Middleton announced her diagnosis in a video post to the world on March 22, 2024, as everyone grasped it in disbelief. In the video, she mentioned that the diagnosis was a “huge shock.” She credited her husband, Prince William, for his incredible support.

Kate’s hair over the years. 💁🏻♀️
2011-mid 2012 was my favourite; the ‘classic Kate’ hair in my eyes. I love her long hair in 2013, but not so much her side fringes in late 2012 and 2015. The shortest we saw her hair was in 2017 – so cute! I am loving her current hair & its colour! pic.twitter.com/Yw0jYef7xC
