Queen Camilla's Voluminous '70s Bob At Trooping The Colour 2026 Is Perfect For Older Women To Copy

June 13, 2026, marked the Trooping the Colour, the yearly official celebration of the Sovereign's birthday. With all of the royals in attendance, it's usually a great place to look at the posh fashion and beauty trends they set, as each Trooping the Colour comes with its own style tops and flops. Queen Camilla has given us plenty of great Trooping the Colour outfits over the years, but in 2026, her red uniform dress by Fiona Clare left us quite disappointed. However, we predict that Camilla's hair will remain an inspiration for years to come.

The royal wore a black headpiece by Philip Treacy, under which we could see her voluminous bob. Styled in an almost Farrah Fawcett-like manner with the hair ends blown out backward, the bob added lots of movement and boldness to Camilla's look. While the hairstyle works at any age, it is a particularly good look for older women, as it tends to open up the face while still remaining low-maintenance.

"The classic bob is one of the best styles for women over 50; it's a timeless, flattering haircut," Kamila Pruszek, the co-owner of London hair salon Blue Tit Portobello, explained to Harper's Bazaar. While Camilla's version has bangs, the expert adds that "It works beautifully without bangs and looks chic with a middle part. This gives you flexibility to flip your hair from side to side, adding texture and volume. It also looks elegant tucked behind the ears, highlighting your face and neck."

Of course, it's safe to say that Queen Camilla has a team of talented hairstylists at her disposal whenever needed, so recreating the look as a regular person might take a bit more effort. However, the bouncy hair moment isn't as difficult to style at home as it might seem. To start off, getting the right haircut is essential, as Camilla's feathery bob has plenty of layers that start around her cheekbones. The layers always look beautifully blended, leaving no distinct sections. The royal also has curtain bangs that blend into her bob, creating a fluid hairstyle that draws attention to her eyes.

Now, coming out of the salon with beautiful hair is one thing, but recreating the styling at home is a completely different ball game. However, with some practice, it is possible to nail down Camilla's signature look. Blowing out your hair, with emphasis on directing the front pieces backward, is key to creating feathery volume. "If you're not a pro with a round brush, that's okay: Cheat by using a heated round brush," celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos told Vogue when explaining how to achieve a bouncy bob. Once you're happy with the look, hairspray the front pieces to ensure they remain in place. While styling might take a bit of time in the beginning, once mastered, Queen Camilla's hairstyle is ideal for anyone who wants their hair to look voluminous and bouncy.
