Kate Waterhouse doesn’t look like this anymore! Racing heiress shows off dramatic new look

Kate Waterhouse turned heads at Crown Oaks Day in Melbourne on Thursday with a striking new appearance, delighting her followers.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! She did it! My absolute idol, the racing heiress, she totally changed her hair! For years, she’s been known for those gorgeous, long, flowing brunette locks – it was her thing, you know? But she just said goodbye to them! It’s a huge change, and honestly, I’m still processing it, but I’m so intrigued to see what she does next!

Kate, a regular at The Birdcage during the Melbourne Cup Carnival, surprised everyone on Thursday with a bold new appearance.

The fashion influencer debuted a new look with a stylish clip-on fringe. It beautifully highlighted her face and gave her a trendy, updated style.

Her clear skin and bright smile made her makeover even more striking, and she looked completely different from how she usually does.

The mother of two looked dramatically different when she appeared at Crown Oaks Day on Thursday, though her signature bright smile was still present.

Kate looked stylish with her new blunt bangs while posing at the Lexus event, wearing a silver, high-necked dress designed by Mariam Seddiq.

She accessorised with matching silver shoes and a bag, both adorned with red ribbons.

Even though it was Ladies Day, and many women wear hats, she chose to highlight her new hairstyle with a headband instead.

Kate adorned herself with jewels, including statement earrings and several rings.

Her trend-setting fashion sense has cemented her status as a style icon on the track.

She’s married to Luke Ricketson, who used to play professional rugby league, and they have two daughters: 11-year-old Sophia and 9-year-old Grace.

While Oaks Day isn’t as famous or lucrative as other spring races in Australia, it’s often considered the most important day for fashion in the exclusive Birdcage enclosure.

Oaks Day, often called Ladies Day, is a popular event where celebrities and fashion enthusiasts gather at the racetrack to see and be seen.

Both strong, empowering styles and classically feminine looks – like those featuring pink, florals, and lace – are being embraced and celebrated.

Kate has been a fixture at the races for many years now.

In a 2018 interview with Vogue Australia, Kate shared her tips for looking and feeling your best when attending horse races.

She told the publication that feeling comfortable and confident are the keys to a great day.

She is known for her lavish lifestyle.

In 2020, Kate and Luke gained attention when they purchased a luxurious home on Sydney’s north shore for $17.8 million.

This luxurious home, situated in the desirable Balmoral Beach area, features five bedrooms and stunning views of the water.

The racing heiress and the former sports star tied the knot in Sicily, Italy on June 28, 2012.
