Kate chose Emilia Wickstead's 'Anatola' black & white polka-dot shirtdress for the launch. ID by @hrhthekate via Twitter.

The £1,565 piece is from the designer's AW19 collection which draws inspiration from Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather trilogy, and this black and white polka-dot shirtdress effortlessly captures 1980s Italian nostalgia. Exclusive to MATCHESFASHION, it’s crafted from floaty crepe to a fluid silhouette which is cinched with a buckled belt, then falls to a knife-pleated midi-length skirt and fastens with discreet buttons.

The 'Anatola' is also available in white and orange.

Kate teamed the black and white polka dot dress with her camel Casteñer 'Carina' 80 Suede Wedges.
