You guessed it – Duchess Catherine is well-partial to donning a spotted ensemble, and testament to the trend-setter she is, the style is absolutely everywhere at the moment.
While some of Kate’s variations of the style are a little on the more expensive side, there are plenty of other affordable options that both look similar, and will have you feeling just as classy.
In fact, affordable high street brand Zara even has its own spin-off of Kate’s gorgeous Alessandra Rich polka dot dress, which she wore in Prince Charles’ official 70th birthday photographs.
