Queen Camilla's subtle beauty change 'takes years off her look'– was it inspired by Kate?
Queen Camilla celebrated her 78th birthday last week, and we're wondering if she gifted herself a beauty treatment for the occasion– one that's seemingly inspired by her step-daughter-in-law, Princess Kate. Eagle-eyed Royal fans have spotted a change to Camilla's usual beauty look, and it's helping to give her a youthful appearance.
The change? Her eyebrows. In pictures taken this month, Camilla's brows look darker and more defined than usual, prompting one expert to speculate that she may have turned to a popular treatment to get lasting results.
Karen Betts, a renowned authority on permanent make-up, explains: 'To the trained eye, it appears Queen Camilla may have had a machine-based brow tattoo. The defined, darker look is typical just after treatment—brows usually soften in colour and shape within 7 to 10 days."
She continues: "While I cannot confirm with certainty whether Queen Camilla has recently undergone a permanent make-up procedure, to the trained eye, it does appear that she may have had a machine-based method of eyebrow tattooing. The brows appear quite defined and darker than usual, which is typical in the immediate days following treatment. This initial intensity is completely normal and brows typically soften in both colour and appearance as they heal, gradually settling to a lighter, more natural-looking shade."
Of course, Queen Camilla could just be using a different eyebrow pencil, or perhaps she's turned to a tint to get a slightly darker shade, but it's true that her eyebrows do appear to have had a makeover in recent weeks – and she's not the first royal to cause a stir with a new beauty look.
Though Princess Kate isn't rumoured to have had a tattoo brow treatment, you might remember when she debuted a new brow look in 2021 and caused the Internet to go into overdrive with speculation about what she used to give her arches a thicker, more youthful appearance. The overwhelming theory at the time was that she may have tried out brow lamination – where the hairs are set into a brushed-up position with the help of chemical solutions – but again, this was never confirmed.
However, it was generally agreed by beauty experts that the bushier brow style helped to give Kate a younger look. Along with a fuller-looking brow, Karen explains that "a slightly lifted arch, rather than a flat or overly straight brow, can open up the eye area, give the face a more refreshed effect and create a natural, youthful lift."
She explains, " Well-defined brows have a transformative effect. They frame the eyes, restore balance to the face, and can subtly lift the features, often giving the impression of a more youthful and well-rested appearance without the need for more invasive treatments."

Kate Garraway's clever way to style a suit co-ord takes years off her look
Kate Garraway looked radiant in a summer-ready blue ensemble earlier this week, as she styled a versatile co-ord to create a fun and youthful aesthetic you can still replicate Ever the one to watch when it comes to fashion inspiration, especially for that oh-so-confusing category of smart/casual workwear, Kate Garraway has yet again wowed fans in a head-turning ensemble that's perfect for switching out a boring suit for something a bit more whimsical while you work. Taking to Instagram to show off the look properly, Kate wore a powder blue tailored trouser and waistcoat co-ord from Nobody's Child, paired with a blue and white striped blouse from Boden. Creating a monochromatic effect in a shade perfect for summer, Kate's keen styling creates a smart suit look that doesn't feel old or tired. It is worth noting that Kate's exact waistcoat is no longer available to shop at Nobody's Child, though it has been replaced with a very similar alternative to use in the same powder blue co-ord, featuring a high boat neckline instead of the classic V-shape Kate opted for. If you had your heart set on the same silhouette, Whistles has this Pale Blue Molly Linen Waistcoat that's ideal for copying the look. Kate donned a pair of these Blue Wide-Leg Tailored Trousers from Nobody's Child, which added a fun and bright twist to the classic blue suit attire. Coming in a flatteringly loose fit to keep you cool during summer temperatures, these trousers are a new take on tailoring. Designed to flatter, these blue pleated trousers hug the waist and fall effortlessly to the floor with a relaxed, wide leg. Kate's exact trousers are currently reduced to £47, and come in sizes 4 to 12, with sizes from 14 to 18 no longer in stock. If your size is no longer available, check out these Wide Leg Trousers in pale blue from La Redoute for the reduced price of £37.69. The shirt Kate opted for was this Sienna Cotton Shirt, which comes in a huge variety of shades and patterns to suit your look. Retailing for £65, this blouse boasts a straight-fitting shape with a feminine curved hem that makes it easy to pair with other items, whether it's waistcoats for that work-ready look or sweaters as we head closer to autumn. This piece is available in sizes 4 to 22 on Boden's website. If you're looking for an alternative look, check out this Pure Cotton Striped Relaxed Shirt at Marks & Spencer for £55.

I love wearing super high heels & showing off my extra long legs – jaws hit the floor when people find out my age
The mother-of-two has also shared her tips to maintain her legs in top shape SKY-HIGH I love wearing super high heels & showing off my extra long legs – jaws hit the floor when people find out my age A WOMAN has left the people stunned after showing off her mega long legs in sky-high heels. Gina Drewalowski, who is on a mission to 'spread positivity' and reveal that ageing is 'our super power', recently left people gobsmacked after trotting around in super high stilettos. 2 The mother-of-two, from Germany, left people stunned after trotting around in mega heels Credit: tiktok/@ginadrewalowski 2 The monster heals measured at 12 inches, the German fashionista claimed in the video Credit: tiktok/@ginadrewalowski Posting on social media, the content creator, who has over 20,000 followers on TikTok, could be seen modelling bright red heels - which allegedly measured at 12 inches. The blonde beauty, who posts under the username @ginadrewalowski, looked incredible, rocking a white mini dress which enhanced her subtle tan. Gina, hailing from Germany, had completed the look with a red lippy to match the jaw-dropping heels. ''Can I still walk in them? Or am I too old for this?'' the fashionista wondered in the caption of the clip. In the video, which has been viewed over 30k times in just one day, the German stunner also revealed her age, which left thousands gobsmacked. ''I'm 59 and I still wear the highest heels,'' she wrote. But while Gina may have felt her best and most confident rocking the mega heels, not everyone was a fan of the look. Close to 200 people flooded to comments - where it was a mixed bag of responses. One critic thought: ''Gal if you need a wall to lean on. The shoe's ain't for you. Regardless of age.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Might as well scream: GIVE ME ATTENTION!!!!'' I'm 54 & show off my tum & legs - trolls call me embarrassing & say I should be arrested, but I'm not a sexless granny A third troll asked: ''you know how much a hip replacement costs?'' '' 'I'm 59 and still behave like a teenager seeking strangers validation on the Internet','' wrote another harsh viewer. Despite the brutal comments, the mother-of-two isn't fazed by what the critics think - and previously revealed two tips that keep her long legs in top shape, which are dry brushing and cold showers. How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings. She told Fabulous: 'The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with. 'The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us. 'All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.' It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing. Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel. Whatever your age or state of health, it's never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you. Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing. Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants. Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources. Dry brushing is a skincare technique that involves using a brush with stiff bristles to exfoliate dry skin, typically before showering or bathing. It is often seen as a way to stimulate circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and improve overall skin health and texture. Meanwhile, cold showers are said to potentially contribute to a more youthful appearance by tightening pores and reducing puffiness. Not only this, but turning the heat down on your daily wash can also stimulate collagen production, which can help improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles. The fashion and body positive influencer claimed that these habits will ensure you have 'smooth, tight, glowing legs'. The influencer, who loves posing in swimwear online, advised users to 'thank me later' as she proudly showed off her eye-popping pins and stressed: 'Don't skip your legs in your routine.' Gina, who won't let age hold her back, then claimed: 'They show age too.' As a result, she advised: 'Save this and try it for two weeks – game changer!'
