The Princess of Wales wears a Spring 2026 trend on Wales visit, what is it and where is her blouse from?
Ahead of St David’s Day, the Princess of Wales joined her husband Prince William on a visit to Powys in Wales to celebrate volunteer workers.
St David’s Day falls on March 1 this year and ahead of it, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited Powys in Wales to celebrate volunteer workers. Their visit began in The Hanging Gardens, in Llanidloes and then the couple went to Oriel Davies, an art gallery in Newtown.
Catherine, Princess of Wales and Prince William recently attended the BAFTAs 2026 and for the award ceremony, the Princess of Wales wore an ombre pink Gucci dress that she has worn on a previous occasion
For her visit to Wales, Catherine, Princess of Wales wore a maroon coloured Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen coat, a CO pleated midi skirt, Gianvito Rossi Rhymes Boots in Merlot, Kiki McDonough earrings. However, it was her top that showcased that the Princess of Wales is keeping up with the latest looks as she wore one of Spring 2026’s hottest trends, a pussy bow blouse.
Her blouse from ME+EM is a sleeveless top in deep ruby red. According to Elle magazine, “Some might call this spring's trickiest trend: a pussy bow blouse can often feel retro or fusty, adding unnecessary volume around the bust. However, it's a popular style within the SS26 runway collections hitting stores this month.
“At Dior, Jonathan Anderson made them a key player in his debut womenswear offering. Alessandro Michele also showed them at Valentino, even dressing some up with additional corsages.”
Catherine, Princess of Wales has previously worn pussybow blouses in the past and wore a pink one underneath a grey coat when she paid a visit to Southport last September. Prince William’s late mother Princess Diana was a fan of wearing pussy bow blouses in the 1980s.
On November 13, 1984, the then Princess Diana wore a pink Jasper Conran suit with a pussy blow blouse when she visited the SENSE, the National Deaf-Blind and Rubella Association in London.
In October last year, Glamour reported on pussy bow blouses and wrote: “Blame it on return-to-office policies or fashion’s current romance with the ’80s, but pussy bows—one of the most controversial (and, it must be said, chicest) design flourishes in recent memory—are gearing up for a big year.”
