The Princess of Wales has delivered some of her most timeless summer style at the prestigious tennis tournament.
Wimbledon might draw some of the world’s best tennis players, but Kate Middleton’s summer style deserves its own round of applause!
The Princess of Wales, 42, is a frequent fixture at the prestigious tennis tournament and sports some of her most timeless summer style in the stands. The avid tennis player has attended the Grand Slam competition almost every year since marrying Prince William in 2011, and Queen Elizabeth named her patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in 2016.
While it’s all about the action on the grass court, Princess Kate certainly brings her A-game to her Wimbledon wardrobe, inspiring a look back at her best looks.
2024
The Princess of Wales popped in purple for her appearance at Wimbledon’s 2024 men’s singles final. Her Safiyaa dress matched the green and purple pin she wears to the tennis tournament, representing the official colors as a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
2023
Princess Kate was all smiles during her Wimbledon debut in 2023, wearing a mint green Balmain blazer with a white pleated skirt and coordinating heels. Her jacket matched her official umbrella perfectly when a summer shower rolled in!
2022
Kate popped in polka dots at Wimbledon in 2022, donning a navy tea-length dress with white polka dots and a sailor-style collar by Alessandra Rich, paired with white cap-toe slingback pumps. She and Prince William also surprised spectators with a special guest — their son, Prince George!
As patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Princess Kate has the honor of passing out trophies to the winners. She looked stunning in a short-sleeve yellow tea-length dress with a bow detail and white heels when presenting the Venus Rosewater Dish to Elena Rybakina, the women’s singles final winner.
Polka dots might have officially become one of Kate’s style signatures last year, but can you spot her other must-have accessory? In addition to her trophy-distributing duties, the sporty royal also wears a purple and green bow pin at Wimbledon for her position as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club!
Kate served a rewear at her first Wimbledon event of the season in 2022, slipping into a blue and white polka dot belted dress by Alessandra Rich at a Platinum Jubilee event for Queen Elizabeth weeks before. In a full-circle moment, the conscientious choice even heeded Wimbledon’s sustainable theme.
2021
The Duchess of Cambridge, as she was known in 2021, chose a green short-sleeve dress with a full skirt and white heels for the tennis tournament after Wimbledon was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic.
In 2021, the royal added a floral face mask to her Wimbledon wardrobe, matching her pale pink belted dress from Beulah London, which she wore for the men’s singles final with her father, Michael Middleton.
2019
Kate was effortless in a light blue tea-length Emilia Wickstead dress with tan ankle strap heels for a prize ceremony in 2019. She also went viral for her animated reactions during the men’s singles final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.
The tennis superfan attended Wimbledon in 2019 with two VIPs — Meghan Markle and her sister, Pippa Middleton. Kate wore a fitted deep green dress with gold buttons by Dolce & Gabbana dress that was not only a rewear from a 2016 royal tour in Canada but also matched her special patron pin.
2018
The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex attended Wimbledon together in 2018. Kate sported a white and black polka dot dress by Jenny Packham while Meghan wore a blue and white striped shirt with white trousers. Though the tennis tournament fell two months after Meghan’s royal wedding to Prince Harry, the former Suits star was no stranger to Wimbledon!
In his groundbreaking memoir Spare, published in January, the Duke of Sussex opened up about how he and Meghan serendipitously connected for the first time while she was in London to watch her friend Serena Williams compete there in 2016.
2017
In 2017, Kate was bright in white, cheering on the competition in a poppy-print dress by Ted Baker.
2016
In 2016, Kate chose a cream midi dress with a whimsical print by Alexander McQueen (the house behind her 2011 wedding gown) for the big event.
In another royal rewear, Kate sported a yellow dress that she previously wore in Australia in 2014 plus sunglasses.
2014
After missing Wimbledon in 2013 due to her pregnancy with Prince George, Kate returned in 2014 wearing a beloved white eyelet dress she previously sported on a tour of Australia and New Zealand, complete with a breezy straw clutch.
2012
Kate made her first royal repeat at Wimbledon in 2012 with a sailor-style Alexander McQueen sweater dress, joining William in the royal box.
2011
In 2011, the newlywed continued her bridal white chic in a white pleated tank dress with peplum at Wimbledon. It was Kate and William’s first date at the tournament post their royal wedding that April.
