If these snaps are anything to go by, royal ladies love wearing classic pussy bow blouses! The Queen has been particularly partial to the style in the past - above, she's pictured looking totally radiant and retro at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 1980. Her Majesty is clearly the original fashion influencer, as since then, everyone from the Duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex to Queen Letizia and Queen Rania have worn the now iconic design.
The silhouette actually became popular in the 1960s and '70s, when designers Yves Saint Laurent and Coco Chanel were inspired to give women the opportunity to power dress as they began to enter the working world. The bow design and tailored shape was thought to give the perfect balance between masculine and feminine. Whether worn with A-line skirts or a fitted trouser suit, we reckon the ultra-chic pussy bow blouse deserves its place in every royal woman's wardrobe - scroll down to see our favourite outfits…
