It's the Summer of Subverted Polka Dots
Every summer, certain breakout fashion trends emerge—as though we all collectively got the same memo that a certain print or shoe is in. These past few weeks, the streets have been taken over by polka dots: they're everywhere! Celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, and Rihanna have all been embracing the retro pattern in fresh, new ways. (They were also a huge trend of the resort 2026 season.) But while dotted designs can lean 1920s, the era they became popularized, the new styling approach is all about subverting that sweetness—by plastering dots on unexpected pieces like ties, shorts, and even capri leggings. Call it a cooler, grungier take on polka dot dressing; the 2025 way of wearing the pattern is all about offsetting it with more downtown-worthy pieces. Earlier this week, Rihanna offered a masterclass in the trend: The star dined at Giorgio Baldi in an oversized ERL suit and sheer Fenty bra, punctuating the look with a big polka-dotted tie, left undone around her neck. It struck the right balance of classic and contemporary. Ditto for Olivia Rodrigo, who stepped out in New York this summer wearing a pair of micro polka-dotted shorts. Styled with a blank tank and leather biker boots? She made polka dots worthy of a pop-punk star.

Morgan Riddle Brings Polka Dot Trend in Alessandra Rich to Wimbledon
Taylor Fritz's girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, embraced the ongoing polka dot trend for the fourth day of The Championships, Wimbledon on Thursday in London. The social media influencer arrived at the event, wearing a coordinated look courtesy of designer Alessandra Rich. Riddle styled a set with a navy blue base fabric and white polka dots, echoing a classic pattern with a streamlined silhouette for Wimbledon's historic, formal atmosphere. The long-sleeve blouse of Riddle's sartorial statement featured slightly puffed shoulders with a plunging neckline adorned by a feminine bow. Beneath the bow on Riddle's blouse, a shimmering silver gem button could be glimpsed.

The skirt include a slight slit and minimal fabric draping for added tension and juxtaposition. Riddle paired her look with white, pointed-toe kitten heels. She accessorized with a few rings and a pair of gold sunglasses with brown lenses. Polka dots are having a revival in 2025, appearing on runways and in street style alike. Brands such as Jacquemus, Acne Studios, Fendi, Isabel Marant, Moschino, Altuzarra, Brandon Maxwell, Carolina Herrera and Valentino have all embraced the pattern this year, featuring polka dots on everything from dresses and knitwear to statement coats and accessories. Since Riddle and Fritz began their relationship in early 2020, Riddle has become a major fixture at several of Frtiz's matches. Riddle was previously spotted in Fritz's player's box at the 2025 French Open last May, where she styled a similar look to Thursday's Wimbledon attire. She styled a sleeveless black-and-white polka dot dress with a vintage-inspired bustier element. The French Open also served as the site where WWD had the opportunity to chat with the influencer about the rise in tenniscore looks. 'Tenniscore is in,' Riddle told WWD in her profile from the 2024 French Open. The tenniscore trend saw a major moment of synergy in 2024, thanks in no small part to the film 'Challengers' starring Zendaya. Throughout her press tour, the actress styled several looks that spoke to the tenniscore trend, orchestrated by image architect Law Roach. For spectators at Wimbledon, however, business attire and more tailored, streamlined looks have been the sartorial order when watching matches in the stands. Cate Blanchett styled a suited look by Giorgio Armani with the Prince of Wales pattern on Tuesday, while Princess Beatrice of the British royal family wore a Sandro coordinated look for the tournament on Monday.

Sienna Miller brings back ditsy florals in a sweet summer dress at Wimbledon
Just as we were about to declare polka dots or gingham as the print of the summer, Sienna Miller declares that ditsy florals are back. The actress was spotted in the stands at Wimbledon today wearing a sweet mini-dress covered in tiny flowers. The style, which featured soft puff shoulders, ruffle detailing and a black ribbon woven around the neckline, is by the London-based designer Alessandra Rich (and currently in the sale). Rich is known for her feminine dresses, which often feature dainty prints and accented collars, worn by everyone from the Princess of Wales to Hailey Bieber and Michelle Williams. Miller styled her mini-dress with some classic black sunglasses, her centre-parted hair in loose waves. She was joined at the tournament by boyfriend Oli Green, who looked dapper in a navy suit and silver tie. They were also sat with Hollywood actress Jodie Foster and singer Katherine Jenkins, to enjoy the Centre Court action on day nine of the famed tennis championship. Miller is a regular fixture in the stands at Wimbledon, attending the tournament most years (sometimes more than once). Naturally, she always nails the dress code in something chic and classic, leaving her beauty look pared-back – glowing skin, subtle make-up and a nude manicure – to allow her wardrobe to take centre stage. "I think since I became a young woman, I've always been more minimalist," she told us last year, when sharing the contents of her beauty bag, adding that she feels her most beautiful when barefaced but "a little bit sun-kissed". Her tendency towards the natural can also be seen via her usually tousled hair. "My signature hairstyle would be 'just rolled out of bed'," she jokes, explaining that her naturally wavy hair "looks better if I just let it dry and leave it".

Who's the best copyKate? Stylish stars serve up Wimbledon outfits inspired by Princess of Wales's signature polka dot looks
The Princess of Wales can pull off all manner of summer looks and prints - but polka dots remain an obvious favourite in her wardrobe. 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.

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.
