Michelle Keegan is embracing early motherhood with joy, but like many new mothers, she is finding that personal time can be rare. Despite the demands of caring for a newborn, the actress made time for a bit of self-care this week, paying a visit to the hair salon.
Keegan, known for her role in Ten Pound Poms, revealed her refreshed hairstyle on social media. Her hair appeared longer and glossier, with soft blonde highlights adding a subtle yet striking update to her look for 2025. The lighter tones gave her hair extra dimension and a polished finish.
The new style drew comparisons to Catherine, Princess of Wales, who also debuted a similar look earlier this year. In February, Princess Catherine launched an initiative through The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. The project, presented at the National Portrait Gallery, focuses on helping children develop key social and emotional skills.
At the event, she wore a chocolate brown blazer and showcased a longer, highlighted hairstyle that experts estimated to be about 20 inches in length. Her hair featured soft caramel tones, which brightened her overall appearance while maintaining a natural look.
Celebrity hairstylist Michael Gray, speaking to HELLO!, commented on the Princess’s updated look. “Her color leans toward warm brown with light caramel woven in. The highlights, done in a balayage style around the face, make the hair appear lighter without losing depth,” he said. Gray praised the balance of tones and subtle placement, noting that it complemented her skin tone and base color beautifully.
Both Keegan and the Princess of Wales are sporting hair transformations that reflect a growing trend: natural, softly enhanced color that frames the face and brings a refreshed feel without being overly dramatic.
