Thinking about how in their walpurgisnacht rising designs, madoka and kyoko — two characters who were the closest to homura — have braids in their hair, and how the white bow in sayaka’s hair not only matches with the white bows in madokami’s hair, but its position on the side of her hair looks sort of similar to how homura would wear madoka’s bow, just on her right instead of on her left this time
Actually more about that since I have a lot to say on the designs: I think it’s interesting how sayaka only have one bow. It’s probably just there to fit the magical girl aesthetic, not clutter the design, and not make it feel like an imitation of madoka’s hairstyle, but perhaps her only having one white bow symbolizes how in a sense she was previously involved with the law of cycles.
Similarly, both homura and sayaka have bows on the sides of their heads, and maybe that’s to show how similar both of them refuse to admit they are when it comes to their love of madoka. Both clearly cherish her and want to help/protect her but both have different ways of doing it, and no matter what they end up clashing.
Maybe their bows are even meant to symbolize the way how madoka was ripped out from the law of cycles. Sayaka has a white bow, symbolizing her connection with madokami, while homura holds onto her red bow (until she gives it back to madoka), symbolizing her tearing madoka out from the law of cycles.
