Duchess Kate Gets A Haircut, Wears Princess Diana's Favorite Tiara

Less hair, more room for that massive tiara

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge has gotten a haircut, and it looks quite amazing. Her famous long hair is now a shoulder length 'do, though she retained her side-swept bangs.

Kate revealed the new look Wednesday at ICAP's 23rd annual Charity Day in London when she stepped out in a familiar LK Bennett peplum suit that's a tasteful reminder of the '80s.

Her new hair wasn't the only surprise the duchess had in store this week. The future queen attended an annual diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace Tuesday in a very special accessory: Princess Diana's signature tiara.

Known as the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara, the glittering piece was last worn by the Princess of Wales before her death. Before she loaned the tiara to Diana as a wedding gift, Queen Elizabeth II wore it, as did her grandmother Queen Mary, who commissioned it. So yes, the duchess is wearing one of the most famous pieces of jewelry of our time.
