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 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.

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.
