Kate Middleton made a surprise appearance at a VE Day concert on May 8, 2025. The Princess of Wales revived the bow trend with her black velvet hair clip. Earlier that day, she channeled Princess Diana for services at Westminster Abbey.

Princess Kate—dressed in a white Self-Portrait blazer dress—wore the same five-strand pearl necklace that she debuted at a Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony in January to the concert. The £275 piece was created by Jewish designer Susan Caplan and was crafted from vintage faux pearls.

Kate Middleton's recent recycled outfit for the 2025 VE Day Concert in the U.K. didn't go over too well with avid royal watchers.
