Get the royal look without breaking the bank as this ‘very flattering’ polka-dot dress perfectly emulates one of Kate Middleton’s most iconic Wimbledon looks at a fraction of the cost
If there’s one pattern the Princess of Wales opts for time and time again, it’s the classic polka dot. She’s often seen donning it for various occasions, from the birth of her children to Wimbledon. Kate has a fondness for a polka-dot frock. Particularly, she’s sported a range of variations on the blue-with-white polka dots when it comes to dresses.
While most of us don’t have a Royal bank balance to splurge on Kate’s exact outfits, there is still a way to steal her style without breaking the bank. Over at L.K. Bennett, there’s a navy polka-dot midi dress that is perfect for emulating Kate Middleton’s iconic Wimbledon in 2022, making it an ideal choice right now as the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament gets underway.

Available at L.K. Bennett or from Marks & Spencer, this Valerie Spring Navy & Birch Viscose Printed Viscose Shirt Dress With Belt is the ideal piece for copying Kate’s fabulous Wimbledon ensemble. It comes in a wide range of sizes from 6 to 20, with regular and petite measurements available for those who aren’t graced with Kate’s height. This dress is also available in several shades, in case you fancy veering away from Kate’s traditional navy look.
Boasting the same strong shoulders as Kate’s noteworthy dress, this Valerie Shirt dress offers a formal, structured look that makes it an easy choice for days in the office or more highbrow events, whether you’re heading to the court side or meeting a client for lunch.
An LKB signature shirt dress ideal for spring and summer, this number seamlessly walks the line between smart and casual, ensuring it’s a wardrobe staple for any season. Crafted from a lightweight, floaty fabric that’s sure to keep you feeling the breeze during warmer weather, and coming in navy blue with a cream polka dot print, this piece has a long, rounded collar that adds a dash of timeless chic to any look.
With Kate’s go-to puff shoulders and short sleeves, this dress is a versatile pick in the sunnier seasons. It varies from Kate’s as it sports cream buttons, a buckled belt, and a back yoke, but matches her iconic look in its midi-length skirt. Wear it with your favourite heels or Kate’s beloved tennis shoes for a royal ensemble that can seamlessly work for any and all occasions this summer.
One shopper who picked up this piece from M&S raves: “Lovely material. Looks as though it will not crease which is important to me! Very flattering style. Pricey but worth it!”
