We are still reeling from the wonderful Together at Christmas concert that took place on Friday evening, and it’s fair to say that the Princess of Wales and her bow-trimmed red coat stole the show.
Kate, 42, wore the most dazzling red coat by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen which had a double-breasted cut and structured buttons across the front.

Her daughter, Princess Charlotte, looked so sweet in a burgundy coat dress with a velvet collar and buttons down the front from Trotters with the shiniest shoes – the ‘Angelica’ style from Papouelli.

The bow was just like her mother’s, securing her half-up, half-down style. How lovely?

However, they have become so much more popular and the humble bow is everywhere right now, from securing hairstyles to being fastened on bags, shoes and even collars.
HELLO! chatted with professional stylist Georgie Gray, who dreams up the most fabulous outfits for celebrity clients from Rochelle Humes to Michelle Keegan.

They add instant charm and sophistication without being overly formal, making them versatile for both casual and more dressed up outfits.”
