The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in the capital this week (21 November) on a visit to the neuroscience lab at UCL. While she opted to wear an old favourite Paule Ka skirt suit, she paired it with a fresh new hairstyle; a pretty wavy ponytail dressed up with a black velvet bow.

A nod to the trends, Kate’s hairstyle reflects fashion’s love of bows this season, as they decorated sleeves, waists, necklines and the hairstyles on the catwalks.

While the Duchess’ look is more classic, her simple black velvet bow elevates her outfit, and we're definitely keen to try the trend for this year's impending festivities.
