The Princess of Wales can pull off all manner of summer looks and prints – but polka dots remain an obvious favourite in her wardrobe.
From Wimbledon to Ascot, Kate, 43, has oozed sophistication in chic polka dot ensembles throughout the years, with one of the royal mother-of-three’s most memorable being her navy and white look from Wimbledon 2022.
Now, Centre Court has become a catwalk of tributes to Kate’s signature look, which she has sported on many different occasions, by showing off their own navy polka dot numbers.
Sports presenter Gabby Logan pulled off the ‘Kate effect’ perfectly while visiting the Royal Box on Centre Court on Monday.
The television and radio presenter oozed glamour in a stunning navy polka dot co-cord which she wore with a cream blazer strewn over her shoulders.
Gabby, 52, was the epitome of chic in the look which she teamed with heels and a colourful handbag.
The look resembled Kate’s £1,335 navy blue polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich which she wore to watch Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios battle it out on Centre Court in the men’s final three years ago.
Kate was the epitome of Wimbledon chic in the dress, which had a peplum, ruffled waist at the waist and ruched shoulders. She paired it with £540 bi-colour slip-on stilettos in beige and white, by the same designer.

This year, the chic summer frock is enjoying a stylish resurgence, with dozens of spectators sporting similar versions at this year’s Championships.
Meanwhile The One Show host Alex Jones arrived at the tennis tournament in style donning a semi sheer polka dot gown by clothing brand Rixo.
The £295 dress, which featured a drop waist, floaty tiered semi sheer skirt and a tie neckline, resembled the princess’s white polka dot neck tie £2405 Alessandra Rich gown at Ascot in 2022.
Alex teamed her Wimbledon dress with a tan bag by A.P.C and a pair of asymmetric strap heels. She swept her brunette locks up into an up style and completed the ensemble with a pair of gold earrings.
While Jamie Redknapp’s wife Frida Andersson channelled the princess’s 2019 D-Day ensemble at Bletchley Park, when she visited the All England Lawn Tennis Club last week.
The beauty donned a navy gown which featured a white floral print and a chunky white collar.
Kate first wore a similar buttoned up £1750 Alessandra Rich frock, complete with exaggerated poplin collar, white buttons and cuffs, for an official portrait to celebrate King Charles’ birthday.
Another royal who was spotted sporting the chic polka dot look was Lady Amelia Windsor, who arrived for day four of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships last Thursday.

Kate is an avid tennis fan and is a frequent fixture at Wimbledon in her role as Patron of the All England Club.
Kate, who is always a style icon at the games, is yet to attend this year’s tournament.
As the Daily Mail’s Rebecca English reported last month, it is ‘very likely’ that the Princess will attend this year’s tournament in her role as royal patron of the tennis club.
