Lady Eliza Spencer is no stranger to a pristine evening look, but she rocked a new hair transformation on 21 October – and looked better than ever. The niece of Princess Diana, 33, made a stunning appearance at the Estee Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Campaign Pink Ribbon Dinner at NIJŪ, a Japanese restaurant in London's Mayfair. The daughter of Earl Charles Spencer and model Victoria Aitken was seen wearing her platinum blonde locks in boho mermaid waves – a far cry from her go-to slicked-back bun. 

Her crinkled waves were parted in the centre, and they tumbled over her shoulders for a relaxed look. Mermaid hair is created by using a crimping tool where lengths are clamped between heated barrels, leaving the impression of loose waves. Meanwhile, her twin sister Lady Amelia Spencer, who joined Eliza at the event, wore her hair down and straight, pushing it behind her shoulders to draw attention to the bateau neckline of her outfit. 

Max Nikolov, Neville Hair and Beauty's top stylist, who created the Spencer girls' hair look for the occasion, tells HELLO!: "We wanted to do a fairly simple and effortless look on both and still look different from one another, so we went with Eliza's natural hair texture while enhancing and smoothing it. The finished result was a wet-look mermaid."

Both Eliza's and Amelia's hairstyles suit their outfits perfectly. Eliza opted for a hot pink single-breasted blazer, flared trousers, and a roll-neck sweater. She teamed it with heels, a black croc Aspinal of London bag, and a gold pendant necklace with her initial on. Meanwhile, Amelia chose a capped-sleeve pink gown with bows adorning the shoulders, teamed with capped-toe heels and a black clutch.

"Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer have a way of striking the balance between sophistication and modern glamour. These looks are a perfect example of how to do tonal dressing. The rich shades of red and pink are powerful and feminine and are within the colour palette that we're seeing on every autumn/winter catwalk this season," personal stylist Constance Richardson, who has worked in styling for over three years and has a background in tailoring, says.

A special evening

The Estee Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Campaign Pink Ribbon dinner honoured The Inheritance star Elizabeth Hurley as it marked 30 years since she became an ambassador for the campaign, which works towards creating a breast cancer-free world.

Launched in 1992 by Estée Lauder's daughter-in-law, Evelyn H. Lauder, the campaign is The Estée Lauder Companies' largest corporate social impact programme, and it has funded global research, education, and medical services, with more than $114 million going towards medical research through the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Joining Elizabeth in attendance at the dinner was her son, Damian Hurley, 23.

 It has been a busy few days for the Spencer sisters as they headed out for the inaugural British Museum Ball at The British Museum on 18 October. It seems they have been embracing a switch-up of their look of late, as neither of them rocked the slicked bun (a last style on Amelia and Eliza on 8 October when they attended the Talento Fashion Awards by HOLA! in Madrid) to the event.

Amelia wore her glossy tresses in a bouffant updo with a strand pulled out around her face to add framing, while her sister wore it down and teased away from her face for an old Hollywood look. Their hair drew attention to their radiant makeup looks featuring bronzed cheeks and glossy lips.
