Anna apparently wants to put Kate on the cover of Vogue, but the very same reports say nothing has been formally discussed. The palace has also denied any involvement with the fashion magazine on Kate's behalf. In her role as Duchess, Kate hasn't yet posed for a shoot in any major publication, and has been living a relatively private life with Prince William since the royal pair returned from their tour of North America this Summer. The two will make a public appearance later this week, however, as they launch the Oak Centre...

Kate Middleton knows how to look good.

Who knew she used curlers? In any case, this shot of the lovely royal is very much the before image, because you'll want to see what she looked like after she got her 'do done...

Days before she heads to North America with Prince William, Kate gets a makeover!

Kate Middleton is a fashion icon, and in order to keep her look fresh, she visited a salon in London — shocking onlookers when she walked around town so casually!

Kate, 29, stopped by the Richard Ward salon for an appointment with James Pryce on June 24 and spent two hours getting pampered, People reports.

“She seemed so relaxed and smiled at everyone as she left,” an eyewitness says. “She didn’t appear fazed by the people staring at her — she was radiant.”

Kate looked super-chic in a black dress and sunglasses, and slipped in and out of her appointment largely unnoticed.
