Polka-dots go way back in time with this example of Marilyn Munroe in the 50s Image from Hunting in Heels Fast forward to the present day and this is one of the most elegant examples of polka dots I could find. By far a monochrome black and white polka dot pattern seems to dominate celebrity fashion. Emma wears Luca Luca Spring 2012.
