Queen Mary channelled Princess Kate in an effortlessly elegant polka dot dress - and we've found her exact style now in the sale.

The Danish Queen stepped out in the chic Me + Em design, a versatile monochrome piece that combines modern tailoring with timeless sophistication. Originally retailing at £595, the dress is now reduced to £416.50.

Back in 2022, the Princess of Wales attended Royal Ascot with Prince William in an Alessandra Rich frock that echoed Queen Mary's look, featuring a similar cinched waist and high neckline.

Now, royal fashion fans can recreate the style without the royal price tag. We've found not only Mary's exact dress, but also polished high street alternatives from Hobbs and Next that capture the same regal charm.

This elegant Me + Em polka dot gown is crafted from a lightweight silk and viscose blend, giving it a fluid drape. Available in sizes 6 to 14, the design has a high neckline, subtle keyhole detail, sheer long sleeves and a flattering cinched waist with a wide, ruched waistband. The maxi cut elongates the frame while maintaining a timeless, regal feel. The dress comes with a detachable corsage which can be styled directly on the frock or transferred onto a suit jacket for a coordinated look.
