Roman’s £45 dress channels Princess Kate’s polka dot look | Royal | News
If there’s one print that comes back every spring without fail, it’s polka dots, and nobody does them quite like the Princess of Wales. Her bright blue polka dot dress is one of those standout looks that still feels just as fresh today as it did when she first wore it back in 2022. It hits that sweet spot between classic and modern.
Of course, recreating a royal wardrobe isn’t always realistic. But if you’ve had your eye on Kate’s four-figure Alessandra Rich design, this high street version from Roman offers a similar vibe, and, honestly, it’s even easier to wear.
The brand’s polka dot dress brings that same floaty, feminine feel, with a flattering midi length and soft movement through the skirt, making it a proper throw-on-and-go piece.
Although there are a few key differences, they actually make it more wearable. Instead of Catherine’s higher neckline, this one has a softer V-neck, giving it a more relaxed, everyday feel.
The button-down detail adds a slightly more modern edge, while the cropped sleeves keep it light and practical for spring. It keeps the essence of the Princess’s look, just without the formality. It’s available in sizes 10 to 20 and comes in other colourways too, including a bold red and a soft sage green – both just as easy to style.
Dress it up with heels and a clutch, or keep it casual with flats or trainers. It’s one of those easy wins that makes getting dressed feel effortless, which is exactly what you want this time of year.
