Who else wishes they kept all the scrunchies, headbands, and hair bows they wore in middle school? The childlike pieces have been back in style for a few seasons now, and we're definitely not complaining. We already know of Kate Middleton's penchant for pretty hair accessories, and her latest outfit is no exception.
Attending the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance alongside Meghan Markle and the rest of the family, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a bateau-neck dress, earrings from the Queen's collection, Jimmy Choo shoes, a Zara headband, and an Alexander McQueen bag. The annual event is held in honor of everyone who has lost their lives in conflict, so Middleton's outfit was fittingly respectful and refined, but the headband was the perfect piece to add just a touch of personality.
Another important detail: Middleton's trio of poppies, also worn by all members of the royal family, are symbolic and represent remembrance and hope, according to the Royal British Legion. Scroll down to see what Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle wore to the event and shop similar headbands.
