Kate Middleton & Queen Letizia love polka dot dresses – shop the trend
Polka dots are a classic print that is always perfect to wear no matter the occasion and has a timeless glamour that brings to mind the classic style of Hollywood stars like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. It’s no wonder that royals also have gone dotty for the print! Kate Middleton’s spotty dress seemed to have inspired Holly Willoughby this week, and now we’re ready to be inspired, too, by looks worn by not just Duchess Kate, but also Princess Eugenie and Queen Letizia of Spain.
