When you’re a member of the British royal family, you\u2019re used to wearing hats and other headgear, including, well, priceless, gemstone-bedecked tiaras and crowns. It\u2019s part of the job. Given that she\u2019s been an official part of said royal family for well over a decade now, Kate Middleton has achieved expert-level status when it comes to fascinators and tiaras, but she gave both a break in favor of a surprising\u2014and very trendy\u2014hair accessory.<\/p>\n

For a royal outing on May 8, the Princess of Wales ditched her usual jaunty hat in favor of a big bow\u2026 a big velvet<\/em> bow, no less. Depending on the occasion, Middleton tends to wear her hair up in an updo or down in her signature shining waves, but for this particular event, a concert to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, she zigged where she typically zagged, pulling half of her newly lightened hair up and pinning at the crown with an oversized bow barrette. True to form, the lengths were curled in precise waves with not one single hair out of place.<\/p>\n

Now, this isn\u2019t the first time the princess has worn a bow, but this is definitely the *biggest* bow she\u2019s worn; in the past, she\u2019s worn smaller velvet bows tied at the base of a swingy ponytail for a more casual coquette look. The velvet bow felt more formal than those smaller-scale ribbons, partially due to her half-up hairstyle and the dressy white jacket and layered pearl necklaces.<\/p>\n

The bow has truly dominated the trend cycle over the past year, with tons of stars incorporating the coquette-core accessory into their hairstyles on and off the red carpet. While a velvet bow is an interesting choice for spring, given that the fabric is typically reserved for fall and winter, it isn\u2019t technically summer yet, so we\u2019ll go with it. The bow could also do double duty as a mother-daughter accessory, as Middleton could easily share it with her daughter, Princess Charlotte. That makes it even cuter, TBH.<\/p>\n
