Royal-adored polka dot pattern elegantly showcased by Amanda Holden, paired with white stilettos and lavish jewelry
In the world of fashion, polka dots continue to be a timeless print that adds a touch of elegance and playfulness to any outfit. British actress and Battersea Ambassador, Amanda Holden, recently showcased this with her polka dot dress at a semi-formal occasion.
Amanda's choice, an Odd Muse cap-sleeved midi dress, featured a high neckline, delicate gathers at the sides, and a structured skirt. The dress, priced at £185, was a neutral yet striking piece, a departure from some of her more colourful choices.
This fit and flare style is versatile and can be a great option for semi-formal events. For those seeking a modern edge, consider a fit and flare polka dot dress in a style similar to Annabel Croft's Self Portrait fit and flare polka dot dress, which balances femininity with comfort, making it ideal for events like Wimbledon or similar gatherings.
Accessories play a crucial role in completing the semi-formal look. A classic handbag like the Anya Hindmarch Neeson tote bag, worn by Kate Middleton, can enhance the overall look. Heeled shoes, such as the Gianvito Rossi 800mm Robbie slingback pumps, offer a sophisticated touch that works well with a variety of midi dresses.
For men, a polka-dot tie can add a fun and playful touch to a suit or blazer.
When it comes to styling, mixing patterns with solids can create a balanced look. Pair a polka dot dress with solid-colored shoes and accessories to let the dress be the centrepiece of your outfit. Neutral-colored accessories like white or beige handbags and shoes can also complement the polka dot dress beautifully.
Incorporating modern elements like a statement belt or a bold piece of jewelry can update the classic polka dot look for a semi-formal occasion.
The Princess of Wales, like Amanda Holden, also has several polka dot dresses in her collection, including navy with white spots and white with chocolate brown. Her preference for black polka dots, which are micro and more delicate, is similar to Queen Camilla's.
For those on a budget, Next offers affordable white heels with a kitten heel, Forever Comfort® cushioned footbed, and a pointed toe. There's also a white polka dot midi wrap dress with pleated skirt, short sleeves, and a notched lapel collar.
So, whether you're attending a charity reception or a semi-formal event, take inspiration from these fashionable polka dot dresses and accessories worn by Amanda Holden and the Princess of Wales.
