Kate Middleton steals the show at Natural History museum with new hairstyle

The Duchess of Cambridge flaunted her bold shorter 'kob' hairstyle this evening at the Natural History Museum as she joined Sir David Attenborough to unveil the new blue whale skeleton.

Kate, 35, wore a pale blue dress for the glittering gala and although she was seen without any extravagant jewellery or a tiara she still managed to steal the show.

The Duchess showed off her fresh glossy new hairstyle which is noticeably shorter than her earlier looks.

She also opted for a youthful open-toed high-heeled shoe with a purple clutch purse.

Kate's gown is a £637 stretch-crepe Preen dress by designer Thornton Bregazzi. She wore £550 scalloped suede sandals by Prada. 

The Duchess first unveiled her new-look shorter hair at Wimbledon earlier this month. 

The new hairstyle, around six inches off the overall length, created a real buzz and was soon dubbed the 'kob'. 

The Duchess, who is a patron of the museum, and the famous naturalist are among the first to see the 25-metre long skeleton suspended from the ceiling in the revamped Hintze Hall.

The whale skeleton has replaced Dippy the Diplodocus, which first went on display there in 1979. When the museum announced it was dismantling the dinosaur display, 14,000 people signed a petition to stop the move.
