The Princess of Wales chose an American fashion brand for attending a Cancer Research UK reception this week. Held at St. James’s palace on Wednesday, the event marked the charity’s 125th anniversary. 

Echoing the many polka dot styles of her predecessor Princess Diana, the future Queen was radiant in a white heart print midi dress for the event.

Looking splendid in red and white, Kate’s outfit is thought to be a sartorial shoutout to the United States ahead of a rumored overseas trip to California in July. (The Princess chose a Los Angeles based label). Available in mini and pink 

For the reception, the princess selected a romantic silk midi dress from Rodarte featuring a white contrast collar, floral embellishment and matching heart print belt. Showcasing her love of vintage-minded fashion, the dress felt whimsical and charming.
