The Princess of Wales attended a Cancer Research UK reception at St James's Palace on 2 June wearing a red Rodarte midi dress with a white polka dot print. The silk dress, priced at £1,785, features a belted waist, puff sleeves and a contrasting collar. She paired it with cherry red suede Gianvito Rossi heels, a ruby pendant necklace and a Miu Miu clutch.
For those seeking a more affordable alternative, several high street brands offer similar styles. Nobody's Child has a red polka-dot dress with ruffled cap sleeves and a subtle V-neck, featuring a stretch panel at the back. Dorothy Perkins offers a V-neck dress with fluttering sleeves and button-through front in a neutral colourway.
Finery London's floaty dress with ruffled short sleeves and hem, as well as its polka dot V-neck midi tea dress, provide additional options. Another Nobody's Child midi dress with puffed sleeves and an open bow-tie back in cherry pink is also occasion-ready. The Reformation naira dress, with a V-neckline, puffed sleeves and ruching at the bust, closely mirrors Kate's silhouette.
