The Princess of Wales looked totally sparkly and gorgeous on Monday afternoon when she stepped out at the annual Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey, London.

Kate's Commonwealth Day outfit was bold and beautiful; a red coat dress by Catherine Walker and a matching hat by Gina Foster.

The Princess of Wales' coat was finished with a built-in bow

The coat in question was quite the statement style - it came with a built-in bow at the nape of the neck which gave it a seriously feminine look.

Of course, the royal also memorably sported another bow three months ago. 

At the Together at Christmas concert in December, Kate's bow-trimmed red coat by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen stole the show.

The bow trend has been embraced by Hollywood royalty, too. At the Oscars earlier this month, Cynthia Erivo delighted fans in her bombastic, off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton velvet gown that was finished with a dramatic bow.

Kim Kardashian went to a pre-Oscar dinner and the former wife of Kanye West paid homage to Claudia Schiffer by rocking a multitude of bows in her hair, just like the blonde beauty did in 1995 at Chanel's AW show.

At the Vanity Fair Oscars party, Justin Bieber's beauty mogul wife Hailey sported a black, strapless Saint Laurent gown, accented with a sleek satin bow at the waist. She accessorised with Tiffany & Co. jewellery and frosted her look with a pair of diamond-encrusted chandelier earrings and two rings crafted from platinum and yellow gold.

Professional stylist Georgie Gray told us why bows are so prevalent right now. She explained: "Bows are making a comeback because they effortlessly combine elegance with a hint of nostalgia, offering a soft, luxurious texture that enhances any outfit. They add instant charm and sophistication without being overly formal, making them versatile for both casual and more dressed up outfits."
