Princess Charlene Of Monaco Shows Off A VERY Daring Haircut
Princess Charlene of Monaco's bold new haircut has been slammed by hairstylists who claim the 'dreadful' style looks as if it was done by one of her six-year-old twins.
Known for her signature blonde locks, the royal was almost unrecognisable as she debuted a dramatic half-shaved haircut on a royal outing today.
The mother-of-two's new style features a close shave down the left side of her head, with the remaining hair dyed blonde-brown and cut in a choppy, punk-inspired style.
Speaking about the new look to FEMAIL, Brad Allen, owner of JellyFish LOS in Southend on Sea, said the 42-year-old's style was 'too harsh' and 'didn't suit her'.
The stylist, who also works as a senior educator for celebrity hair dye brand Color Wow, added he understood why people want a new look after lockdown, but advised against getting anything as drastic as the royal adding the cut was 'dreadful'.

The bold haircut is a sharp departure from her usual lengthy blonde tresses, which she often wears in a soft bouncy bob style
'I'm in total shock by the "transformation",' he said.
'I understand people may want to try something new after getting bored staring at the same cuts, colours, roots for months on end during lockdown.
'But it's not something I'd advise in such drastic measures'.

'Firstly it's a dreadful cut. It looks like one of her six-year old twins has done it. It doesn't suit her elfin face and delicate features at all. The colour is too harsh too. The dirty golden tones make her overall blonde look dull and unflattering.
'I really loved the simplicity of her former cut, and her ash blonde tones.
'I'm all for change and having fun with your locks but she's gone from elegant and classy to royal c*** up!'

It is possible that Charlene - like many others - decided to undergo a makeover while in lockdown, with another hair expert telling FEMAIL that a lot of people have opted for shorter styles during the pandemic because it gives them a sense of 'freedom'.
'If she loves it - so do I!' CEO of Abra Kadabra Hair & Healing Abra McField said.
'A lot of my clients are taking this time in quarantine to rock new looks - it's freeing.
'People are going after what they really want and following their own style. I say good for her!'
The royal showed off her bold new look as she joined her husband Prince Albert, 60, and their six-year-old son Jacques to hand out Christmas presents in Monaco.

To match her daring new hairstyle, the mother-of-two also opted for a much bolder ensemble that many are used to seeing her wear.
Wrapping up against the winter chill, the royal wore a yellow, tan, and black patterned jacket over a glittery black turtleneck jumper.
She added to the glam with a sequined bronze face mask, and accessorized with quirky spiral hoop earrings, as well as a diamond stud in another piercing hole.
Even her makeup was given some extra oomph for the occasion, with Charlene rocking bold blue eyeshadow and thick black eyeliner.

Although the former Olympic swimmer has often been spotted favouring shorter haircuts, her latest look marks one of her most daring styles in recent years.
She is more often known for her elegant dress sense and usually chooses a neutral palette of cream, taupe and beige.
Last week Charlene shared images of herself and her husband celebrating their twins' sixth birthday that showed the family all blowing out the candles on a round cake.
In the photos, the Princess' head is turned away from the camera, hiding one side of her head, however she is seen modeling a slightly longer hairstyle, suggesting that the new buzzcut may well be a very recent makeover.
Princess Charlene was last photographed at a public event last month, when she and her family attended Monaco's National Day celebrations on November 19.
At the time, the former Olympic swimmer was seen modelling her signature blonde bob under a chic black beret
