At just 9 years old, Princess Charlotte is already emerging as the ultimate style muse, and even her hair colour is making its way onto everyone's 2025 beauty mood boards.

Aside from its growing length, what really stole the show was Charlotte's highly popular and natural 'bronde' hair shade. Princess Kate's daughter's hair appears to get lighter towards the ends and contains a mixture of mid-toned blonde hues.

Hailey Bieber's 'toasted almond' hair
The Rhode founder switched up her roots for the festive season and opted for a lighter blonde shade courtesy of her hair colourist Matt Rez. The beauty mogul embraced a slew of 'midlights', which resulted in a toasted-blonde hue.
Matt described the in-demand hair shade in an interview with Harper's Bazaar in December. He said: "There's a mix of golden brown and honey 'bronde', a perfect harmony of blonde and brown tones."
The colourist shared how he perfected the glowing hue: "I highlighted and 'midlighted' with my technique of blending two colours in for a seamless connection from roots down through lengths.
"The two colours in a special placement create the most natural, sun-kissed results."
Much to all our envy, Charlotte's tresses are completely natural in shade as the young royal seems to have inherited the perfect blend between her mother's luscious, chocolate brown locks and her father's bright blonde tresses.

The hair accessory even has a special family connection, with the founder, Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs, being a close friend of the royal family.
How to get the shade

"Without the warmer connecting midlights in the mix, brondes and most colours look flat and bounce less light. To get that glowing hair colour, ask for midlights to also be weaved in."
