When it comes to fashion, Princess Charlotte is taking after her mom, Kate Middleton.
Some looks are so iconic that they have endured for generations, becoming an integral part of the British royal family’s stylish dress code. Princess Charlotte wore just such a signature piece at the final of the European Women’s Football Championship—a dress that not only her mother, the Princess of Wales, regularly opts for, but it is also reminiscent of a long royal fashion tradition dating back to her grandmother, Princess Diana.
Her dark blue ruffled dress with white polka dots was immediately reminiscent of Middleton’s style and fits seamlessly into the wardrobe of the style-conscious royals. Accompanied by her father, Prince William, Princess Charlotte provided a touching father-daughter moment at the stadium and also paid sweet homage to the women in her family.
Whether in street-style photos, on catwalks, or in royal closets, polka dots are currently celebrating a huge revival. And for good reason, as the pattern is timeless and stylish, and can also be dressed up or down. Whether as an airy blouse with jeans or in the form of a fitted dress for special occasions, polka dots always work. It’s no wonder that so many royal fashion icons also rely on the pattern.
Polka dots are a tradition in the royal family. Diana loved polka-dot dresses and wore them again and again in the ’90s. Princess Kate later picked up on this style and made the polka-dot dress an integral part of her signature look. At a memorial service at Westminster Abbey in May, she appeared in a black and white dress that looked like a modern twist of an iconic Diana look.
Princess Charlotte’s outfit also has a royal predecessor. Middleton wore a very similar dress, also in dark blue with white polka dots, to the men’s final at Wimbledon 2022.
Princess Charlotte’s look not only demonstrates style, but also cites a fashion heritage that has been an integral part of the royal aesthetic for decades.
