Duchess of Cambridge "elaborate updo" - I've seen more impressive on LHC

[Alvrodul]

I think the hairstyle is quite nice - but it pales in comparison to the gown. That was completely gorgeous!!
As for the media swooning over her updo, and describing it as "elaborate" - for most, such an updo is elaborate, but then, anything more involved than, say, a French braid would probably be described so. Here on LHC, though, we are used to each others' lovely updos and pretty hairtoys.

I think it looks pretty, but you are right that there are very accomplished people here with amazing skills at doing updos.

I like her hair, but I think it would look even better long.

We could try Quinn's prom hairstyle from Glee, she's only UBL and I want to see if it can be done without a ton of product.

I don't want TV. Which is kind of detrimental to keeping up with celebrity hair styles.

I don't want TV, but I have it, lol, and with a family adicted to Glee, I sadly know who Quinn is....what was her prom style again?

Guess I'm the minority here: I don't like the dress at all
The updo is OK.

I was starting to think I was alone on this. Glad I'm not the only one. I usually see her in pics with her hair down so compared to that, I suppose this does seem elaborate.

She looks gorgeous. Her legs look super long! The up do is nice and looks good on her.

But dear God, the standard of writing. It is so bad it actually sounds as if the journalist is taking the p1ss. "Ladies", "updo", "coiffed" "flowing locks", ugh - is this the Hyacinth Bouquet school of twee, anachronistic journalism?

It's the Daily Mail, and they're talking about a royal, so yes.

*sighs* She looks simply radiant! When I saw the pics, all I could think of is how much like a fairytale princess she looks. OK, so its a tad imperfect, but I feel it adds to the overall look of easy elegance.
That girl was BORN in a floor length gown. Incase you havent guessed, I love the royal couple something rotten

[spidermom]

Oh my goodness; I think her hair looks lovely, also the dress.

I like the updo, but it does not look like it was done by a team of hairstylists.
it kinda looks like she did it herself, and that is probably why I like it.
but knowing that it was done by a team of hairstylists, it is a bit disappointing because well, I would expect them to do a better job.

she looks stunning in her dress though, and the hairstyle really suits her!
