Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, has stepped out with a shorter, bob hairstyle at the Groundswell Regenerative Agriculture Festival at Lannock Farm.
HELLO! reported that Sophie, 61, appeared to cut around four inches from her hair. The new length sat above her collarbone.
Her colour also looked lighter. The brighter blonde shade gave the style a fresh finish.
Royal watchers usually see Prince Edward’s wife with long blonde hair. That made the change stand out right away.
Sophie, 61, has worn her hair long for more than a decade. But this is not her first shorter look.
Duchess Sophie’s previous bob hairstyle in 2011
Sophie previously wore a shorter bob in 2011.
The hairstyle was described as swishy and voluminous.
It featured a side parting and flicked-out ends.
She wore the look at Zara and Mike Tindall’s pre-wedding party in Edinburgh.
The event took place on the Royal Yacht Britannia.
The Duchess Sophie bob brings back a familiar royal look
HELLO! noted that Sophie has not chosen a shorter bob in quite some time. That helped turn this appearance into a talking point.
She has been married to Prince Edward for 27 years. During that time, her long hair became one of her signature style features.
The report also looked back to 2011. That year, Sophie wore a swishy, voluminous bob with a side parting.
She showed off that hairstyle at Zara and Mike Tindall’s pre-wedding party in Edinburgh on the Royal Yacht Britannia. The look featured flicked-out ends.
It also paired with the peach-toned shift dress she wore to the event. The comparison makes this latest cut feel like a return to a flattering style.
