In 2011, William and Kate watched Andy Murray play tennis at Wimbledon. The newlywed royal couple sat in the Royal Box on Centre Court.
Kate is a keen tennis fan, she’s attended Wimbledon a number of occasions in the past.
Kate’s outfit at Wimbledon 2011:
Kate wore a gorgeous white tiered dress by Temperley London. The dress is called the “Moraiah”. It features three layers of floaty ruffles and a row half circles on the straps.
At the time, Temperley London described the white cocktail dress as “a perennial, classic waist-nipped shape with a sexy, structured bodice, hand-embroidered straps and a tiered skirt.”
The dress also came in black:
The “Moraiah Dress” cost £477, reduced down from £795 (at the time Kate wore it, back in 2011).
Susan from What Kate Wore described the dress as offering a little bit of “tennis dress styling”, adding that the Moraiah is “a sort of dressier take on a tennis dress”.
The company restocked the dress a couple of times, due to its popularity. Sadly, it is no longer for sale on Temperley London’s website.
Kate accessorised her dress with a brown jacket (which, understandably in this heat, she did not wear. We do not know any further details about the piece at the time of writing.
She also wore her L.K. Bennett Sledge pumps. The nude patent leather court shoes feature a platform and large heel.
Kate carried her Stuart Weitzman ‘Muse’ clutch bag in nude (Pictured below on another occasion). This style is also known as the “Raz” in the USA. Kate owns the piece in at least four different colours.
Kate wore her sapphire and diamond earrings. They match her engagement ring and were modified from a pair that once belonged to Princess Diana. This was later proven to be untrue.
Finally, eagle-eye Kate fans will have noticed the Duchess wearing a charm bracelet. Facebook friend Ayvee solved the bracelet mystery on Facebook, explaining the charm features Catherine’s cypher on one side and Camilla’s on the other. As such, we can assume this charm bracelet was a gift to Kate from Camilla. (Pictured on another occasion).
