Kate middleton's blue polka dot dress. Kate Middleton is "wearing" a dress for Ivanka Trump. The choice of the Windsor princesses

As you know, the royal protocol dictates its own rules both in the behavior of the wives of the heirs to the throne, and in the choice of clothing. The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle breaks some of the rules, for example, the wife of Prince Harry often appears in trousers - something that Princess Diana and Duchess Kate Middleton did not allow themselves before. But there is one fashionable detail that unites all these beautiful women, namely the polka dot print, which will be discussed today.

History of origin

The polka dot print appeared in the fashion world in the 1920s, but fashionistas from all over the world were in no hurry to try it on themselves, as polka dots were intended for clothing of flamenco musicians and dancers.

The use of print as clothing for everyday life for girls and women began in the 1950s. Polka dots owe their ascent to the fashionable Olympus to the house of Christian Dior, whose designers were the first to include it in their collection and call it "Polka dot".

Most of all, peas impressed the residents of the United States. And how could you get past him if Marilyn Monroe herself appeared in dresses and swimsuits with a "pea" pattern?

The choice of the Windsor princesses

The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton made everyone remember about the pea pattern. Kate, during a photo shoot of the royal family in honor of the anniversary of Prince Charles, delighted fans with a new dress (the Duchess is known for her frugality and going out in the same way many times). The blue dress with white polka dots from the brand Alessandra Rich, in which actress Abigail Spencer appeared before Kate at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, resembled the outfit of Princess Diana.

In a similar dress, the queen of human hearts posed in 1985 at Kensington Palace. 33 years later, Diana's eldest daughter-in-law repeated her image.

But this is not the end of Kate Middleton's fashionable replays for Princess Diana. Here are some specific examples.

Diana preferred a variety of shades of dresses with a Dots pattern (polka dot print). In 1989, the wife of Prince Charles appeared at the event in a sky blue dress with white polka dots from the Victoria Station brand.

Kate wore an almost identical Altuzarra dress when she came to the Steward Academy in 2016.

At a polo match in 1987, Princess Diana charmed her subjects in a Victor Edelstein dress in black and white polka dots. Kate chose a similar but from Italian house Dolce & Gabbana for an appearance at Wimbledon last year.

It is worth noting that Kate also prefers to appear in front of the cameras after the birth of a child in similar outfits, like that of her mother-in-law: Diana showed the world the newborn William in a dress with polka dots. The Duchess of Cambridge did not change traditions and went out to journalists after the birth of Prince George in a blue polka-dot dress from Jenny Packham.

Kate Middleton really knows how to choose royal tiaras, but it seems that she prefers one particular one: the Cambridge Lover's Knot. Attending the state banquet, Kate, in the company of Prince William and Queen Elizabeth II, looked like a real Cinderella.

Middleton opted for a blue evening gown from the house of Alexander McQueen, and the selection of precious accessories indicates that William's wife loves the same pieces from the royal collection as her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

This is not the first time Kate Middleton wears the tiara that Queen Elizabeth II gave Diana for her wedding. The late Princess very often wore a jewel from the Queen Mary collection. Kate seems to be inspired by her mother-in-law, who died in a car accident, and when choosing outfits for publication.

She echoed the look of Princess Diana, who also wore a red outfit when she first went public with Prince Harry in 1984. And recently, the Duchess of Cambridge wore Lady Dee's favorite tiara to a gala banquet with King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands.

And Prince William is continuing the large-scale charitable campaign Heads Together, the main goal of which is to destroy the stereotype that people should hide their mental problems. According to the initiators of the charity campaign, many people do not seek help from specialists and do not want to admit that they experience mental health problems, for fear of being ridiculed. It is this fear that destroys families and leads to other unfortunate consequences.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Essex High School in the south-east of England today. The Prince and Duchess taught the teens how to deal with the pressure in life.

When Keith and William appeared at the event, they were greeted by Essex Vice Lord Jonathan Hughes, but unexpectedly for everyone in the audience, the 72-year-old man fell. Prince William immediately ran to Jonathan and helped him up. Fortunately, Hughes was not injured in the fall.

The guests were very frightened, but the culprit of the commotion assured the audience that everything was all right with him. A little later, William, Keith and Jonathan Hughes were already laughing at everything that happened.


Journalists have already joked that Hughes fell when he saw a spicy slit on Kate Middleton's dress. Note that the Duchess chose a blue dress with black and white polka dots for the event, which she complemented with nude pumps, and looked very elegant - not in vain her the other day

The Duchess loved the £ 1225 dress from designer Alessandra Rich's collection. In one of the official photos of the royal family, Kate Middleton poses in it. The long blue dress with white polka dots is decorated with a large snow-white collar, cuffs and a belt that accentuates the waist.

However, it turned out that Kate is far from the first who appreciated the work of Alessandra Rich. Daughter of the President of the United States Ivanka Trump performed in it at an event in Granite City, Illinois, back in July.

In it, the actress Abigail Spencer came to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The paparazzi also noticed another popular actress in this dress - Sarah Jessica Parker, as well as model Christie Brinkley. If Brinkley and Middleton chose not to complement the image with a belt, then Ivanka Trump added a white accessory to the bow. On whom the dress looks better, foreign tabloids found it difficult to answer.
