These aren't your mother's polka dots.

Celebrities are sporting this timeless trend in ways that are transforming the way we think about the classic look. Instead of giving off mature or even prude vibes, polka dots can be on-trend, sultry and edgy. The pattern simply adds a polished and feminine detail.

We love Janelle Monáe's outside-of-box styling. If you're looking for an edgier look, you'll want to find prints with larger polka dots. Bigger isn't always better, but in this case, larger circles give a quirky, fun twist to the trend. The singer adds a rock-and-roll twist by pairing her dots with a gold-studded, leather jacket and black scarf around her neck. You can only look this cool, if you're ready to break the rules.

Olivia Palermo looks anything but matronly in her dotted outfit. Super cool and sexy, the influencer shows us how a young lady should rock dots with this John Galliano patched dress. Want to look sexy with your circles? Pair your dress with metallic heels, a red lip and cool sunglasses.

Black-and-white polka dot dresses are a staple that everyone should have in their closet. Classy and ultra feminine, they're perfect for those brunch dates or evening family events. Update this look with a pop of color like Karlie Kloss. The model sports a bright red lip with a matching overcoat, making it impossible not to notice her epic outfit.

Kate Bosworth shuts it down in her $58 k/lab Sheer Long Sleeve Midi Dress, paired with a Western-style leather belt, patent leather ankle boots and a bucket bag. Perfect for the weekend, or any of those holidays events, this outfit is both timeless and trendy. Also, patent leather looks great with black-and-white polka dots.

Want a feminine and sexy twist on the trend? Try a two-piece polka-dot look, baring a little midriff or cleavage. Jennifer Lawrence channels a retro-inspired look with her stylish Dolce & Gabbana polka dot co-ords. Elevate this look with pumps and trendy pearl earrings.
