Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ll know that the humble polka dot print has made its way back into the fashion sphere, this time with vengeance.
From skimpy itty-bitty bikinis worn by Kaia Gerber and Kylie Jenner, to Elsa Hosk's micro mini shorts and matching jacket combo. Even the royals are on board, with Queen Letizia of Spain stepping out just days ago in a drop waist midi option.
The latest It-Girl to champion the style sphere's most favoured summer print and give it a high-fashion overhaul is none other than Bridgerton’s Kate Sharma, or as we know her, Simone Ashley.
The It-Brit shared a selection of holiday snaps to her Instagram account on Monday night, letting fans in on the behind-the-scenes of her recent life spent frolicking in New York.

The dreamy dress, titled ‘The Esmé’, features an adorable ruffle trim neckline, spaghetti straps and is made from a fabric the trending brand likes to call ‘Devoré Spot' - which is basically a black sheer textile adorned with tiny velvet spots.
Simone wore the see-through look over a basic black lingerie set, nailing the sheer dress trend to utter perfection.
Adding to the sun-soaking-approved ensemble, Simone styled her £230 dress with a pair of sleek black sunglasses, a set of silver hoop earrings and a lime green crochet tote bag, which added a much-needed vibrant colour pop.

If you thought you’d missed the mark on securing a dotty delight for yourself, fear not, as it's clearly not too late to don dots for SS25.
