Kate Middleton Rocks the Pussy Bow Trend in Favorite Gucci Blouse
You may have already noticed that Kate Middleton has adopted a lighter and more comfortable aesthetic since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, escaping from her usual glamor and diving into a new era of more accessible ensembles. Recently, she showed off her new business casual wardrobe in a purple Gucci blouse with a bow collar, often called a pussy bow.
This week, the official Instagram account for Kensington Palace shared a Q&A video about Middleton's Early Years project, which focuses on providing a healthy environment for children up to five years old. While answering questions from the public, the Duchess of Cambridge manages to do what so many have been striving for in 2020—using covert, yet fun details to elevate her Zoom wardrobe.
The new reality of isolation and social distancing has forced fashion to adapt. There's been a growing desire for pieces that attract attention to the torso, precisely to stand out in virtual meetings. For Middleton, her Gucci pussy bow blouse seems to be a real hit. She first opted to wear it in March 2019, during a visit to the Henry Fawcett Children's Center in London. The silk blouse not only exudes a vibrant color, but its lightweight nature also provides movement and wearability, the perfect piece to bring modern touches to your work (or work from home) wardrobe.
During the Q&A, Middleton spoke candidly about her choice to focus on such a young age group. “It is not just about happy and healthy children. It is the society that I hope we could and can become," explained the mother of three. "Right from the early days, meeting many people who suffering with addiction or poor mental health, that their problems now in adulthood stem right back from early childhood experience."
