This summer, it’s been all about the polka dot<\/a>, with everyone from Princess Charlott<\/a>e to Princess Eugenie<\/a> embracing their love of the spotty pattern. And when it comes to fall nail trends<\/a>, fun, fanciful polka dot manicures<\/a> are popping up everywhere. No one loves a dot more than Princess Kate, so it’s not surprising that one of her style twins, Queen Mary<\/a>, was recently spotted (pun intended) in an on-trend outfit from royal-favorite brand Me+Em<\/a>.<\/p>\n

White dresses with black polka dots were seen everywhere at Royal Ascot<\/a> this year, but Queen Mary\u2014who is married to King Frederik of Denmark<\/a>\u2014took the trend for a spin on the high seas. In a post on the royal couple’s official Instagram account<\/a>, she was pictured wearing a high-necked ivory Me+Em maxi dress covered in black dots as she set sail aboard the Royal Yacht Dannebrog on August 26.<\/p>\n

The Danish queen wore the silk style for a reception aboard the yacht, appearing to wear the long-sleeved dress without its matching rosette pin. Queen Mary waved to crowds gathered in the harbor as she draped a white Hugo Boss coat over her shoulders to ward off the evening chill.<\/p>\n

The polka dot style wasn’t the only Me+Em dress she’s worn on the couple’s royal yacht tour. Earlier Tuesday, Queen Mary repeated an ivory midi dress by the British label featuring a pale green floral print\u2014a style that’s also owned by Princess Anne<\/a>‘s daughter, Zara Tindall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mary paired the summery style with a cropped navy Prada jacket and a wide-brimmed straw hat before changing into her dotted dress for the evening reception.<\/p>\n

And on Thursday, August 28, the Danish queen once again chose a Me+Em dress, wearing a paisley-print style she’s worn twice this summer during a stop in Sams\u00f8. Like her polka dot dress, this breezy style is also 30 percent off in the brand’s sale, and Mary added a khaki-hued sweater blazer and ivory fedora to her look.<\/p>\n

The Princess of Wales<\/a> has been a longtime fan of Me+Em, with the brand focusing on functional and flattering styles that will stand the test of time. Duchess Sophie is also an enthusiast of the British label, having worn a number of Me+Em dresses in recent months, including a summery pale blue midi dress<\/a> in June and a bright blue floral style<\/a> at the Royal Windsor Flower Show.<\/p>\n
