Who's the best copyKate? Stylish stars serve up Wimbledon outfits inspired by Princess of Wales's signature polka dot looks
From Wimbledon to Ascot, Kate, 43, has oozed sophistication in chic polka dot ensembles throughout the years, with one of the royal mother-of-three's most memorable being her navy and white look from Wimbledon 2022.
Now, Centre Court has become a catwalk of tributes to Kate's signature look, which she has sported on many different occasions, by showing off their own navy polka dot numbers.
Sports presenter Gabby Logan pulled off the 'Kate effect' perfectly while visiting the Royal Box on Centre Court on Monday.
The television and radio presenter oozed glamour in a stunning navy polka dot co-cord which she wore with a cream blazer strewn over her shoulders.
Gabby, 52, was the epitome of chic in the look which she teamed with heels and a colourful handbag.
The look resembled Kate's £1,335 navy blue polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich which she wore to watch Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios battle it out on Centre Court in the men's final three years ago.
Kate was the epitome of Wimbledon chic in the dress, which had a peplum, ruffled waist at the waist and ruched shoulders. She paired it with £540 bi-colour slip-on stilettos in beige and white, by the same designer.
This year, the chic summer frock is enjoying a stylish resurgence, with dozens of spectators sporting similar versions at this year's Championships.
Meanwhile The One Show host Alex Jones arrived at the tennis tournament in style donning a semi sheer polka dot gown by clothing brand Rixo.
The £295 dress, which featured a drop waist, floaty tiered semi sheer skirt and a tie neckline, resembled the princess's white polka dot neck tie £2405 Alessandra Rich gown at Ascot in 2022.
Alex teamed her Wimbledon dress with a tan bag by A.P.C and a pair of asymmetric strap heels. She swept her brunette locks up into an up style and completed the ensemble with a pair of gold earrings.
While Jamie Redknapp's wife Frida Andersson channelled the princess's 2019 D-Day ensemble at Bletchley Park, when she visited the All England Lawn Tennis Club last week.
The beauty donned a navy gown which featured a white floral print and a chunky white collar.
Kate first wore a similar buttoned up £1750 Alessandra Rich frock, complete with exaggerated poplin collar, white buttons and cuffs, for an official portrait to celebrate King Charles' birthday.
Another royal who was spotted sporting the chic polka dot look was Lady Amelia Windsor, who arrived for day four of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships last Thursday.

The fashion model, who is 44th in the line of succession to the British throne, oozed sophistication in a polka dot slip dress.
She completed the elegant ensemble with a white bag and a silver necklace. She kept her blonde locks loose in a centre parting.
Meanwhile American tennis player Taylor Fritz's girlfriend, fashion influencer Morgan Riddle, also wore the infamous polka dot print.
The beauty donned a plunging polka dot long sleeves blouse which she paired with a matching midi skirt.
She completed the ensemble with white kitten heels for day three of the event on Thursday.
Meanwhile actress Naomi Ackie showcased how to make the print look perfectly casual as she paired her summer dress with a denim jacket and brogues.
It comes after Kate, who is patron of the Lawn Tennis Association and a regular fixture at the south west London club, perfected the polka dot print at Wimbledon in 2022.
Kate kept the look simple and styled her hair straight and she sported natural makeup with just a dash of bronzer and some mascara and a sculpted brow.
She added a touch of glitz by wearing a necklace and drop earrings with sapphires that belonged to Princess Diana.
Kate is an avid tennis fan and is a frequent fixture at Wimbledon in her role as Patron of the All England Club.
Kate, who is always a style icon at the games, is yet to attend this year's tournament.
As the Daily Mail's Rebecca English reported last month, it is 'very likely' that the Princess will attend this year's tournament in her role as royal patron of the tennis club.

How to get two theme park visits for the price of one this summer
The cost of summer holiday activities can quickly add up, which is why we're always on the hunt for cost-effective ways to have fun. Case in point: if you're looking for a cheap family day out this summer, we've found a deal that will save on theme park visits. Until Sunday 17 August, when you book a ticket for Alton Towers, Chessington, Legoland Windsor or Thorpe Park, you'll get a ticket for a second visit for free. This doesn't mean visiting the same theme park twice, as it can be used at any of the four parks. In order to qualify, you'll need to pre-book a 'twice the fun' ticket to get your hands on the freebie. You'll then receive a confirmation email with a barcode, which you can use to make your second booking, so keep this handy. The second ticket is valid until Tuesday, 30 September, so there is plenty of time to squeeze in a second visit. It is rare for a free ticket offer to come along, particularly during peak season. Advanced tickets to the theme parks typically start from around £34, so if you're visiting as a family, that's a chunky saving for your second visit. You can book your visit using the links below, or keep reading if you want more inspiration on which of the theme parks to visit this summer. Alton Towers If you've got little thrill-seekers to entertain this summer, Alton Towers is worth a visit. There are nine roller coasters to enjoy, including the Toxicator, which is new for 2025, while younger kids can head to the rides and attractions in CBeebies Land. Alton Towers is located outside of Stoke-on-Trent, so if you're based in the north of England, this is likely to be your nearest major theme park. Chessington World of Adventures There are plenty of adventures for kids of all ages to enjoy at Chessington, with rides inspired by the fantasy board game Jumanji, the tales of the Gruffalo and more. Your ticket also includes a visit to the park's zoo and aquarium, with the chance to see penguins, giraffes, monkeys and zebras. The park is based just outside of London, and there are regular train services running from the capital to Chessington South, which is around a 10-minute walk away. Legoland Windsor There are more than 50 rides and attractions to enjoy at Legoland Windsor. Kids can cool off on a hot day in the splash safari water play park, hop aboard the Lego submarine as part of the deep-sea adventure, get behind the wheel at the Lego driving school and lots more. The theme park is two miles outside of Windsor town centre, with shuttle services available from nearby train stations. Thorpe Park If you or your youngsters can't get enough of roller coasters, a visit to Thorpe Park is a must. The theme park is home to Hyperia, the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster, plus five other rides for those that want an adrenaline-filled day out. There are also plenty of rides and play areas for little ones, so the whole family can enjoy the day. The theme park is located in Chertsey, which is about 30 minutes outside of London, with shuttle buses running to the park from nearby train stations.

Beloved ITV detective show slapped with 'trigger warning' for crime scenes in 'woke' move
ITV 's Inspector Morse has been slapped with a 'trigger warning' in a move that has been branded ' woke '. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online. The streaming giant also advises there are 'satanic images' in one episode of the drama. It then has a parental lock on the episode, titled Day of the Devil. Inspector Morse first aired from 1987 to 2000, with a total of eight series. Other episodes also feature a warning over crime and violence. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online Speaking about the update, Senior MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke slammed: 'This is another example of soft-touch Britain seeping into everything. 'We're just going to be laughed at as a country if things like this continue, because nobody's prepared for the real world where there are no.' Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment. In the past, it has said about general alerts: 'Programming that contains politically sensitive or distressing themes, content, or language has carried appropriate warnings since our launch.' Just a few weeks ago, Netflix bosses axed an iconic moment from Pride and Prejudice to avoid 'objectifying men'. The unforgettable scene of Mr Darcy - played by Colin Firth - emerging from a lake was all the rage in 1995. But show bosses have confirmed it will not resurface in the forthcoming version of the rom-com. According to reports, many fans will be disappointed as the famous BBC scene is said to have 'got millions of women hot under the collar'. A source told The Sun: 'It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments of male objectification on screen - likes Aidan Turner's famous topless scything scene in Poldark.' It's claimed that Netflix bosses 'don't want a repeat'. The saucy scene soon became one of the most favourite TV scenes, however it didn't actually feature in Jane Austen's original 1813 story. Arguably the most iconic wet shirt ever worn sold at auction for £25,000 - double its estimated sale price.
