Although they may not be revolutionary, springtime florals are one of the season’s must-have prints and Gillian Anderson’s most recent ensemble gave them a modern yet classic twist.
In her Odette polka floral dress by Beluah, she combined the popular print of flowers with the equally timeless and spring-ready pattern of polka dots to celebrate the September release of her eagerly awaited book More.
In addition to being one of Gillian’s favorites for springtime attire the brand is also worn by Duchess Sophie and Kate Middleton. The brand’s dresses are effortless to style and consistently radiate charm and elegance. Take a look at Gillian’s minimalist look here. To finish the look, she only needed a basic pair of strappy heels.

While spotty prints are always in the spotlight when it comes to spring and summer fashion, they are especially pertinent this season. Spotty prints are as timeless as florals. In addition to the resurgence of polka dot jeans, Kate Moss recently gave polka dots a cool-girl twist and demonstrated how they work with any spring capsule wardrobe.
With its figure-hugging bodice and occasion-ready design that offers a modern feel with a vintage twist, Gillian’s floral, polka-dotted dress is especially appropriate for her style.

Like Gillian, if you’re wearing a dress with a lot of patterns, don’t add too many accessories to make it look too fussy. All you need is a basic pair of heels.
