Mona Tougaard in 'Work Force' by Craig McDean for Vogue UK January 2023

Top model Mona Tougaard poses in ‘Work Force’, familiar boss lady looks that many argue are dated and yet . . .

But pussy-bow blouses? Kate Phelan styles Tougaard in sober colors, sartorial tailoring lensed by Craig McDean [IG] for British Vogue’s January 2023 issue. / Makeup by Val Garland; hair by Eugene Souleman

Vogue definitely got the sex appeal part right. Also pussy-bow blouses can be deceptive in high-stakes negotiations.

NEVER underestimate a woman who wears a pussy-bow blouse. She can draw blood and you never felt the cut coming — because you underestimated her business prowess.

Thinking she was such a nice woman with that old-fashioned bow blouse, you tried to run all over her. Very bad decision.
