She’s a spotty sensation! The Princess of Wales can’t resist a dotty dress – the pretty pattern puts a retro twist and a whimsical flair on any classic midi moment. Staying true to her vintage minded aesthetic, the princess has become a devotee of the luxury womenswear brand Alessandra Rich.
The London based designer prides herself on developing dresses for women with busy social calendars and bustling careers. Many celebrities are drawn to Rich’s mid-century styles with playful pleats, cutesy polka dots and fun embellishments like ruffled collars, big bows and crystal buttons.
Here are Kate Middleton’s top 10 Alessandra Rich dress moments:
- Wimbledon Wonder
Living up to her credentials as a Princess Charming, the British beauty showed off a delightful dotty tea dress from Alessandra Rich for summer tennis at Wimbledon.
2. Blue Barbie
In a timeless silk midi in azure blue, Kate showed off her love affair with polka print and added snowy pumps for a bit of Barbie flourish.
3. Yellow There
Having a Dynasty moment, the princess rocked a frilly yellow puff sleeve number featuring a belted waist, oversized bow and dramatic puff sleeves.
4. Top Spot
A silk crepe de chine dress with a pleated skirt was the perfect choice for a somber service at Westminster Abbey.

7. Polka Prowl
Showing off her style smarts, the princess pulled out all the stops (or spots) for a day at the racecourse at Royal Ascot. Clad in a white and brown dress inspired by “yacht culture” — the princes was picture perfect in her polka presentation.
8. Dots for Days
