It’s not Notting Hill… but it’s close enough. 

Earlier this month, Julia Roberts, 56, stepped out with her husband Danny Moder for what ended up being “an incredible day at Wimbledon” as captioned on her Instagram post. Unlike her Notting Hill character who wore a black leather jacket and beret to roam around London, she dressed right on theme for the tennis tournament in a sporty Gucci dress.

The dress had red stripes along the bottom and sleeves, as well as on the button placket, which flared out into a preppy polo collar. To brighten the look more, she carried a colorful handbag, also by Gucci, and blocked out the sun with a pair of black shades. 

Polos have been on the upswing lately: Earlier this month, Jennifer Lopez wore one for a bike ride in the Hamptons, while in May, Joanna Gaines styled her ’fit with the preppy shirt. Jennifer Garner and Emily Blunt also put them on our radar in March and April, while Taylor Swift was ahead of the curve at the end of 2023.

Gucci clothing comes with a price, and we mean that in the most literal way. But while browsing for similar options for less, we found this Abercrombie & Fitch Knit Polo Dress that’s on sale now. It nails the sporty-preppy vibe with the stripes and classic -

collar, and the majority cotton makeup means it’ll bode well in the heat or sun. 

But if you’re actually wanting to wear a polo dress to, well, play polo or tennis, the brand’s activewear label, YPB, has this movement-friendly one that will wick away sweat. And it’s only $18 more.

This polo dress on Amazon is also picking up steam with shoppers. “It hugs you in all the right places to accentuate your shape,” one customer said. “What I appreciate most is the length. It hits a couple inches above the knee, which gives it a classy look.” It’s also machine-washable so if you do dirty it, it’ll be fresh as a daisy again in just a few short hours. It comes in six colors and sizes XS to XXL.

Like the style but want it to be a little longer? Midi dresses, as seen on Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson, are a more modest alternative. Zappos has one from Tommy Hilfiger, and it’s currently on sale for the lowest price this month. The red and white floral print is similar to the colors in Roberts’ dress and wouldn’t require many accessories to stand out.
