Kate Middleton and Kimberley Guilfoyle are in the habit of committing the same fashion faux pas. Netizens have noted over the years how the two just cannot get enough of bows.
Kate Middleton made several appearances during the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in May. The Princess was seen wearing some exquisite outfits that showed off her fine taste. The only distasteful element to her outfits, according to fashion critics and royal fans alike, was the overstated bows.

During one of her appearances, Catherine wore a stunning magenta dress and sported her new blonde tresses. The outfit was paired with a hat of the same color that went perfectly with it. Even though the hat added to the ensemble, the matching bow at the back of it surely did not.
The royal was seen sporting a black bow in her hair a few days after the hat debacle. People could not stop criticizing the Princess for her fashion choice of accessories. The Daily Mail even wrote a story about the bows, which was met with an overwhelming amount of responses from fans.
“Middle-aged women look ridiculous in hair bows,” one reader wrote. “The accessories kill the outfit … way [too] much … what’s with the girly bow,” a second wrote. “What’s with the bow in her hair,” a third questioned. One reader even gave Kate the title of the “world’s oldest Alice in Wonderland.” Kate’s fondness for bows does not stop there, the Princess was even seen wearing it as a belt. Another time, she chose to wear a bow brooch

Another celebrity who shares Kate’s fondness for bows is Kimberley Guilfoyle. The 56-year-old’s dress at a fundraiser featured bows on both sleeves, which did not earn her any favors with fashion critics. The light pink dress would have looked extremely flattering on Guilfoyle if not for the gigantic bows sitting on either side of her sleeves.
On 19th April, Kimberley had her second bow moment that topped the first. She was seen wearing a dress that showed an abundance of bows while posing with her son, Ronan. In the photo, the mother-son duo looked glammed up for his prom.

Ronan opted for a classic black and white suit and shirt and paired it with a tie. While Kimberley stood beside her son in a dress that featured not one but three massive bedazzled bows in the center. “I like Kimberly, but I wish she had some help picking out her clothes,” one netizen wrote in the comments section.
Another time Kimberly opted for a bow to top off her outfit was during the Wags to Riches Gala. Her extremely low-cut black dress drew a lot of attention at the event that was taking place at Mar-a-Lago. But the only detail that we could focus on was the black bow belt that looked out of place.
