Polka dots have dominated the sartorial scene this season, and Princess Eugenie was the latest royal to embrace the trend as she stepped out in one of Princess Kate's favourite high street brand's on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old royal looked so chic in Rixo's Evie dress, which is one of the label's most popular styles. Made from a beautiful silk crepe de chine fabric, it features a very flattering figure-skimming silhouette, with fluttery georgette ruffles.
Eugenie usually wears designer pieces but chose the £345/$540 midi for a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace alongside her cousin Zara Tindall - who complemented her perfectly in a paisley Anna Mason midi dress.

Available in UK sizes 6-26 and two different lengths, it also comes in several different prints, from animal to a champagne jacquard.
The bestselling style has glowing reviews from customers, with one writing: "Fabulous dress. So comfortable and flattering with a lovely drape. I have three Rixo Evie dresses now in different colours and patterns!"
While another said: "An amazing dress - fits perfectly and the bias cut with the silk material is so luxurious. I sized up one size compared to my usual."
And another added: "There is no more perfect dress than this. Flattering, exquisite, feminine and so comfortable to wear! I love love it!"
Princess Eugenie was the height of sophistication, accessorising with Jimmy Choo's Romy 85 navy suede pumps and carrying Fendi's Peekaboo Iseeu petite leather bag. She completed the look with the Marina hat by Emmy London and her £19K Garrard lotus flower sapphire and diamond drop earrings.
To make the look more playful, I also love how Rixo have styled the midi with vintage accessories, from gold heeled sandals to a printed neck scarf.
If you want to get Eugenie's look for less, head to ASOS, where you'll find this very similar £90 Abercrombie & Fitch polka dot midi.
Or go for Boden's stunning Ivy dress, which has just dropped in the sale for £84/$123. Featuring a smocked silhouette and an elegant notch neckline, the floaty style is selling out fast.
