Princess Catherine captivated royal watchers during France's state visit to the United Kingdom with a graceful Dior ensemble, but it was her flowing hair, not her fashion, that ignited a social media frenzy and fueled speculation about her health.

Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, stepped out in a romantic pale pink Dior ensemble for President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte's official state visit. She joined her husband, Prince William, alongside King Charles III and Queen Camilla, for the occasion.

The Princess wore a custom look by the French luxury fashion house Dior, featuring a tailored wool and silk blazer. She paired it with a pleated, tutu-like skirt in the same soft hue, overlaid with mesh for added texture and movement.

To complete her ensemble, she chose beige suede pumps, a straw hat adorned with a baby pink ribbon, pearl drop earrings once belonging to Princess Diana, and a three-strand pearl necklace from Queen Elizabeth II's collection.

She also wore her iconic sapphire and diamond engagement ring from Prince William, which once also belonged to her late mother-in-law, Diana, Princess of Wales.

While fans were enamored with the Princess' timeless style, many turned their attention to her hairstyle, sparking speculation online.

"Real hair or wig?" one fan wondered. "I can tell the cascading hair is not hers, which is understandable since she's dealing with cancer," a netizen claimed.

"I'm referring to the curl pattern! I'm not sure if this is her real hair or not, but I'm not going to judge there as I also dabble with extensions," another person shared.

"I am almost positive she wears wigs and wig pieces — which is fine, no judgment but I wouldn't feel too envious of the hair if I were you," a third commenter chimed in. A fourth asserted confidently, "It is clearly a WIG."

Others weighed in with more specific observations. "Outfit is beautiful but I don't like the hair. The waves are uneven and it looks scrappy at the ends. We don't know what her treatments are doing to her though so just happy to see her able to be in attendance, [sic]" one comment read.

Some commenters, however, pushed back on the criticism with admiration. "Princess Catherine's hair is simply stunning. Great outfit too," one person posted, while another wrote, "She has such gorgeous hair!!!"

A more cynical remark also circulated online. "Crazy how that brutal chemo didn't cost her a single strand," one netizen commented, hinting at disbelief regarding her appearance amid her cancer treatment.

Despite the speculation on Princess Catherine's hair, one fan couldn't help but admire the couple's overall appearance during the visit. "I think they both look fantastic! Her hair, oh gosh. Also, I love that fabric texture of the skirt. Keeps it from looking like a business suit. IMO, [sic]" the fan wrote.
