Like Mother, Like Daughter: Princess Charlotte Channels Princess Catherine’s Grace, Strength — and Style

Princess Charlotte Channels Mom Kate’s Signature Style at UEFA Women’s EURO Final

Princess Charlotte is already following in Princess Kate’s footsteps — not only in her growing love for sports, but also in her elegant sense of fashion.

On July 27, the 10-year-old royal joined her father, Prince William, at the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 final between England and Spain in Basel, Switzerland. While Kensington Palace had previously confirmed Prince William’s attendance, Charlotte’s appearance came as a heartwarming surprise — especially for fans of both football and royal fashion.

Dressed in a navy and white polka dot dress featuring ruffled sleeves and a sweet front bow, Princess Charlotte’s look instantly evoked memories of her mother’s signature style. She paired the outfit with classic white Mary Janes and layered on a white cardigan sweater during parts of the match at St. Jakob-Park, adding a practical yet polished touch.

Just like her mom, Charlotte continues to charm with a mix of sporty spirit and timeless elegance — proving that royal style runs in the family.

Royal Style Echoes: Charlotte’s Look at UEFA Final Mirrors Kate’s Wimbledon Elegance

Princess Charlotte’s navy and white polka dot dress at the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 final on July 27 drew immediate comparisons to a standout look once worn by her mother, Princess Kate. The young royal’s ruffled-sleeve ensemble with a front bow was strikingly reminiscent of a similar patterned dress Kate, 43, wore to the Wimbledon Championships in 2022.

At that time, the Princess of Wales turned heads in a navy tea-length polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich, featuring a sailor-style collar and delicate front bow. She completed the look with white cap-toe slingback pumps, perfectly balancing elegance and summer charm. The mirrored elements—Charlotte’s ruffles and bow detailing—highlight a shared fashion sensibility that seems to run in the royal bloodline.

Polka dots have become a signature in Princess Kate’s style repertoire — particularly at Wimbledon. The Princess of Wales has donned the classic pattern at the tournament five times to date, first embracing the look in 2017. She notably brought the trend back in 2022, wearing polka dots on two separate occasions during that year’s matches, cementing the print as a staple of her summer wardrobe.
