Actress Emma Roberts appeared at a Super Bowl party in San Francisco wearing a Dalmatian print skirt and unexpectedly started a discussion about a new fashion trend. The unusual doggy pattern, which is rarely seen on the runways, could become one of the most talked about trends of 2026.
Unexpected animalistic trend
Animal prints have been an important part of the fashion industry for many years, writes xrust. Most often, designers use motifs of large cats — leopard, tiger or cheetah. However, this time the attention of fashion critics was attracted by a completely different design.
At the event in San Francisco, Roberts opted for a look that centered around an ankle-length straight skirt with Dalmatian spots. Unlike classic “predatory” prints, this pattern looked more restrained and minimalistic.
The actress combined the skirt with:
- black top with a high collar
- pointed-toe black shoes
- Ray-Ban sunglasses with tortoiseshell frames
- soft black Eloisa clutch from Armarium
The look was completed with a thin black belt with a gold buckle and jewelry with laboratory diamonds.
According to stylists, it was the neutral black and white palette that made the print elegant rather than eccentric.
Why the Dalmatian print is being discussed again
Experts note that the popularity of new variants of animalistic patterns often appears against the backdrop of fatigue with the usual trends.
Fashion analyst and fashion industry editor Jessica Ming notes:
“After a decade of leopard print dominance, the market is looking for new forms of animal aesthetics. The Dalmatian pattern looks fresh, but remains neutral enough to fit into an everyday wardrobe.”
The main advantage of this pattern is its versatility. From a distance, it can resemble classic polka dots, so it can be more easily combined with basic clothing.
According to experts, this factor may play a key role in the spread of the trend.

- Jardiniere ring with diamonds ($2090)
- Marseille ring with laboratory diamonds ($1350)
- fatigue from the classic leopard print

- popularity of black and white combinations in the wardrobe

Laboratory-grown diamonds are becoming increasingly popular. According to the International Gem Institute (IGI), their share of the global jewelry market has already exceeded 18%.

class=»notranslate»>__GTAG14__ The actress's love for dogs
Interestingly, the Dalmatian print turned out to be symbolic for the actress. Although she doesn't have a dog of the breed, Roberts adopted a Chihuahua puppy from a shelter in 2023.
The actress has repeatedly talked about her love for animals and support for initiatives to save stray dogs.
Can the trend take hold in 2026
Fashion experts are already discussing whether the Dalmatian pattern can become a new popular trend.
Among the factors that can contribute to this:
Some stylists even suggest the possible return of retro aesthetics — for example, the famous poodle skirts popular in the 1950s.
Instead of results
Animal prints regularly return to fashion. The leopard pattern experienced major surges in popularity in the 1960s, 1990s and late 2010s.
In recent seasons, designers have been actively experimenting with new interpretations of animal motifs — from “cow” patterns to prints inspired by deer and natural textures.
The appearance of Emma Roberts in Dalmatian print could be another signal that the fashion industry is ready for a new wave of animalistic trends.
