The Duchess of Edinburgh made a fashionable appearance at the Buddy Dogs Family Event at the Guide Dogs UK center in Reading. Dressed in a chic navy floral print dress paired with stylish high-heeled boots and a tailored blazer, she looked as elegant as ever.
However, it was her hairstyle that caught the most attention. For the first time publicly, the 59-year-old royal sported a casual bun secured with a scrunchie, a departure from her usual looks.
Scrunchies have made a comeback in recent years, and experts highlight their benefits. They can elevate a simple updo quickly, are reusable, and help prevent hair breakage, offering comfort to wearers.
Jacqueline Brown, founder of the scrunchie brand Made By Maman, shared insights with HELLO: “Fashion trends work in cycles and can be revived by unexpected generations. The popularity of scrunchies in the 1980s, alongside other trends like tailored suits and double denim, is a testament to this.”
Brown, who handmakes her scrunchies, noted, “People are becoming more experimental with their fashion. Oversized and colorful accessories are transforming even the simplest outfits.”
Since launching in April, Made By Maman has seen significant demand for its unique handmade scrunchies, which are inspired by bold styles from Brown’s youth.
The Duchess has a flair for accessorizing her hairstyles; in May, she was spotted wearing an elegant silk twilly scarf from the Parisian brand Hermès.
