Kate Middleton delighted tennis fans as she stepped out in a stunning vintage-inspired Wimbledon outfit. Showing her support for British player Katie Boulter, the Princess watched her match against Australian player Daria Saville on Court 18.
For her first visit to the Championships this year, the Princess of Wales donned an outfit reminiscent of the 1980s. She wore a pale green Balmain blazer, featuring structured shoulders and statement white buttons, paired with a tennis-inspired white pleated midaxi skirt.
As a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, the Princess is a familiar face at SW19, and she always brings her fashion A-game to the event. Just over two months after her wedding to the Prince of Wales, she channeled bridal fashion with a demure white tiered dress by British brand Temperley.
When it comes to tennis fashion, the Princess tends to gravitate towards two styles: classic Wimbledon whites or vibrant summer colours. In 2015, while watching Andy Murray triumph over Vasek Pospisil, she opted for the latter, wearing a bright red dress with a boat neckline, elbow-length sleeves, and a flared skirt. The dress was from the popular high street brand LK Bennett, a favourite of the Princess.
While the Princess usually sticks to solid colours, she made a bold statement at the 2016 tournament with a patterned outfit. She chose a white A-line dress from Alexander McQueen, the brand responsible for her iconic wedding dress. The dress featured a unique pattern, adorned with butterflies, lipstick tubes, skulls, and other eclectic items.
In 2019, the Princess embraced a light and summery look, presenting men's singles champion Novak Djokovic with the trophy. She wore a romantic outfit by Emilia Wickstead, consisting of a soft pale blue dress. Her husband, Prince William, coordinated with her by wearing a pale blue shirt paired with a stylish light grey jacket.
But perhaps one of her most striking Wimbledon ensembles came in 2022 when she wore a vibrant sunshine yellow Roksanda dress, accessorized with a classic wide-brimmed straw hat as she watched the matches from the Royal Box.
