Duchess of Cambridge’s Iconic Wimbledon Fashion: A Look Back at 19 Stunning Outfits
When the Wimbledon Championships roll around, the spotlight often shines as brightly on the Royal Box as it does on the tennis court.
This is especially true when the Duchess of Cambridge is in attendance.
With her impeccable fashion sense, Kate Middleton has dazzled spectators year after year, effortlessly blending high street and designer pieces.
As the tournament returns in 2022, let's take a stroll down memory lane and revisit some of the Duchess's most memorable outfits from this prestigious event.
In 2021, Kate made a striking impression alongside Prince William during the women's singles final, donning a beautiful green fit-and-flare dress by Emilia Wickstead.
The outfit was a perfect blend of elegance and simplicity, showcasing her timeless style.
Later that same year, she turned heads in a stunning pink midi dress from Bueller London at the men's final.
This eye-catching piece featured cropped sleeves and a chic stand neckline, proving to be a favorite among royals, as it was also worn by Denmark's Crown Princess Mary.
This particular design has become synonymous with her style; she first wore it during a visit to Canada in 2016, and it has since been affectionately dubbed the “Kate dress” by fashion enthusiasts.
During the 2019 men's finals, Kate once again stole the show in a custom blue midi dress by Emilia Wickstead, accentuated with a purple bow.
She paired this stunning outfit with n-de Aldo heels and a white clutch, ensuring that all eyes were on her as she presented the trophy.
That same year, she surprised fans by attending the tournament with a few close friends on day two, looking fabulous in a monochrome shirt dress by Susannah, accessorized with a bespoke Alexander McQueen bag and stylish block heels.
In her first appearance at Wimbledon with the Duchess of Sussex back in 2018, Kate opted for a classic polka dot look.
This time, she paired it with a white Victoria Beckham tote and sleek black heels, embodying effortless chic.
In 2016, she brought a playful vibe to the court in an Alexander McQueen gown featuring a butterfly and skull pattern, demonstrating her ability to mix fun with sophistication.
Kate also showcased her thrifty side in 2016, sporting a vibrant Roxanda dress that she had previously worn during the 2014 Royal Tour in Australia.
The fitted frock was elegantly styled with n-de court heels, proving that great style can come from reimagining past looks.
In 2015, she turned heads in a red L.K.
Bennett dress with elbow-length sleeves, completing her ensemble with a patterned clutch and small hoop earrings.
The Duchess of Cambridge continued her trend of stylish appearances in 2014, where she donned a white linen Zimmerman dress featuring a pleated skirt and rounded neckline.
That year, she also caught the eye in a striking green graphic print dress by Jonathan Saunders, which beautifully highlighted her figure with a feminine waist tie.
While attending a match with her sister Pippa in 2012, Kate exuded elegance in a cream ensemble, pairing a lovely dress with a coordinating jacket.
She recycled her chic Alexander McQueen knit dress from her Royal Tour of Canada during the same year, showcasing her affinity for sustainable fashion while cheering on Andy Murray alongside Prince William.
In 2011, Kate made a statement in a white Tempelet dress, characterized by its delicate tiered skirt.
Keeping accessories minimal, she allowed the dress to shine on its own, embodying a refined and understated elegance that has become her signature style.
As we reflect on these iconic outfits, it's clear that the Duchess of Cambridge continues to set the bar high for fashion at Wimbledon.
Each appearance not only showcases her personal style but also adds to the rich tapestry of royal tradition associated with this beloved sporting event.
