Kate Middleton’s style evolution has been a well-documented journey, particularly since her entry into the royal family after her marriage to Prince William. This summer in particular, she’s made headlines all season for her colorful wardrobe and also for recycling some of her dresses from previous years.
On June 25th, the Princess of Wales graced Southampton, England, for the inauguration of Hope Street—an innovative residential enclave aimed at fostering maternal bonds within the justice system. Princess Kate made a graceful entrance, adorning a navy tea-length dress embellished with charming white polka dots and a sailor-inspired collar, all meticulously crafted by Alessandra Rich. In perfect harmony with her ensemble, she elegantly paired the dress with slingback pumps, featuring a sophisticated black cap-toe design, all originating from the same esteemed luxury fashion house. This look exuded a certain familiarity, one that resonated with a distinct style statement she has impeccably mastered. See the look here!
Kate Middleton Recycles Old Polka Dot Look
Kate has treated us to vibrant splashes of color in her various appearances at Wimbledon this summer. Yet, she also displays an astute sense of style by revisiting timeless pieces she has previously donned on the Wimbledon stage.
If this polka dot dress looks familiar to you, it's because around a year ago, Kate debuted this get-up during her attendance at Wimbledon alongside Prince William and a young Prince George. She paired the dress with pointed-toe pumps, an emerald pendant necklace and earrings, along with a silver watch.
Kate Middleton's Love For Polka Dots
This black and white polka dot ensemble by Dolce and Gabbana was an elegant piece that she wore at Wimbledon's stage in 2017. The dress seamlessly encapsulated the Duchess' refined classiness, boasting a gracefully flared skirt that gently descended below the knee. The dramatic square neckline, generously sized print, and the chic three-quarter sleeves further heightened its chicness. Staying true to her penchant for understated grace, Duchess Kate adorned herself with delicate, subtle accessories—a pair of pearl studs and a pristine white handbag—accentuating the dress's classy charm.
