If there’s one thing we can take away from the Met Gala 2025, it’s that even the A-list are hopping on the bow trend.

Sure, these ultra-feminine details had a bit (read: a lot) of a moment last year, but this trend isn’t slowing down.

From Sha’Carri Richardson’s tiny hair bows to Sofia Richie’s Tommy Hilfiger look proving that bigger is better, it’s safe to say these adornments are a must-have when walking the steps of The Met.

Here’s our favourite bow looks from the Met Gala 2025 — and how you can recreate them at home.

Sofia Richie Grainge’s oversized bow dress

If you believe bigger is better, you’re in luck!

Internet it-girl Sofia Richie Grainge took to the steps of the Met sporting a Tommy Hilfiger dress with not one, but two bows.

The first was a large back bow oozing drama, while the second was a smaller bow to clasp the neck of the dress together.

All class, no notes. Just make sure not to hit someone as you walk past if you’re wearing an oversized bow.

Doechii’s pussycat bow

Winning a Grammy, killing the fashion game, is there anything Doechii can’t do?

This year, the rapper wore a stylish maroon pussycat bow (AKA a lavallière) with her Pharrell-designed Louis Vuitton short suit.

These often-silky cravats pair well with blouses and shorts or wide-leg trousers for a feminine and fierce look. A vibe Doechii has down to a fine art if you ask us.

Sha’Carri Richardson’s hair bows

On the other hand, track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson took the humble bow trend to the next level by placing 14 ties in her mane. Complementing her pastel Valentino number, which featured small bows on the front, Richardson’s look (complete with candy nails) is a gold medal contender.
