Rarely is a trend irresistible enough to reach a royal wardrobe, but here we are. Kate Middleton wore the pretty dress style we've spotted everywhere this summer, and her polished look is only $40! At the Royal Charity Polo Cup, the Princess of Wales strolled the sidelines in a timeless gingham-print midi, kitten heels and oversized sunglasses. The gingham is playful, the silhouette is effortless and the skirt is breezy. Within minutes of photos hitting the internet, Middleton's dress style was on everyone's wish list. The cotton-blend maxi dress can withstand summer's humidity yet is structured enough to hold its shape. It's a dress you'll end up wearing to brunches, rehearsal dinners and farmers' market runs, and then again the next week. The best part? This flattering dress is so easy to replicate, and we found two nearly identical versions for under $45. Shop the Look! Our first gingham dress option is on sale for under $35 and perfectly captures Middleton's polished essence. It pulls double duty in the flattering department, thanks to a smocked waist that magically sucks the waist in without, well, feeling sucked in. Flowy tiers give it room to move and breathe, while effortlessly draping down your figure. Our second pick is the Prettygarden Gingham-Print Maxi Dress, which channels Middleton's polo day energy perfectly. The A-line shape skims the body comfortably, and the smocked back paneling that gives you room to move and breathe. Plus, the gingham print makes this dress effortlessly slimming. One happy Amazon reviewer wrote, "The fabric feels great for summer, and yes, it has pockets, which is always a win! I often throw on a denim jacket like in my photo and it instantly looks put together, whether I’m headed to church, running errands or meeting friends for a social event." Another Amazon shopper shared, "This feels and fits like it was made for me. Cute, feminine and flattering in every way! The material is a good quality over others as well." Middleton's dress was already trending, but with the royal stamp of approval, it's only getting more popular. Add your favorite sandals and oversized sunnies, and you've got a look that would fit right in at the Royal Charity Polo Cup. Looking for something else?
