It’s official: polka dots are everywhere right now. Long considered twee, the pattern has been enjoying a cool girl revival as of late, with the likes of Clairo, Chloe Fineman and Olivia Rodrigo all putting their own spin on the look.
However, the ultimate cool girl Charli XCX has just given the trend her seal of approval, wearing a polka dot dress in her new video for “party 4 u.” Styled by Chris Horan, the video follows Charli leaving an after party in the early hours of the morning, and wandering out into the road (as you do).
Her outfit features a dress made from multi-coloured polka dot silk scarves by Paris-based design studio All-In, worn with her signature black wrap-around shades and a black Coach Tabby shoulder bag (she also donned Coach’s other it-girl fave, the Brooklyn bag, earlier this week). Thankfully, she takes the dress off before ripping apart a billboard plastered with her own face, covering it in black paint, and then setting the whole thing on fire. Rough night, hey.

The single is in fact not new, as it is taken from her 2020 album How I’m Feeling Now, which preceded the success of brat. Real ones (AKA me) remember! The song, and Charli’s older music, has recently gained popularity on TikTok as people realize that, actually, she has always been a hitmaker. Good to see they’re catching up.
If anyone could convince me that polka dots are no longer solely reserved for Minnie Mouse, it’s her. So, whether you’ve got several wedding invitations, festivals, or messy parties planned, a polka dot dress is going to be your ultimate companion.
