Since joining the Royal Family in 2011, Kate Middleton has attended Wimbledon 30 times. Her style has evolved from simple re-worn tour dresses to bold designer pieces, becoming one of the Championships’ most anticipated fashion moments.
Below, we’ve rounded up every Wimbledon outfit she’s worn, starting with the most recent. There’s also a bonus entry featuring Kate’s tennis-print dress worn during a Wimbledon Zoom call in 2020.
You’ll notice a few themes appear again and again: crisp whites, bright Wimbledon greens, sunny yellows, polka dots, tour re-wears and, more recently, sharper tailoring. Kate’s Wimbledon wardrobe has moved from simple early Duchess dressing to a more confident, event-specific style. Let’s take a look.
2026
Green Queen
The Princess served a polished look for the 2026 Gentlemen’s Singles Final, arriving at Centre Court in a bespoke green dress by Emilia Wickstead.
The Wool Crepe ‘Tidus’ midi dress featured an elegant draped cape detail across one shoulder and soft gathering at the waist. Kate’s version was made especially for her, though a retail version is available from the label.
The Princess watched defending champion Jannik Sinner take on Alexander Zverev, the French Open champion chasing the ‘Channel Slam’.
Kate accessorised with Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra earrings and the Maya gold torque bracelet in aquamarine by Halcyon Days.
She carried her DeMellier Nano Montreal in Deep Toffee smooth leather—and finished the look with the same Ralph Lauren ‘Celia’ pumps in gold that she wore on her first visit earlier in the fortnight.
Strawberry Red
The Princess brought a bold burst of red to Centre Court for the 2026 Ladies’ Final—perhaps a nod to the strawberries so famously enjoyed at the Championships.
From the Royal Box, Kate watched Linda Nosková defeat Karolína Muchová in a historic all-Czech final—the first ladies’ final between two players from the same nation since Venus and Serena Williams met in 2009. Afterwards, she stepped onto Centre Court to present Nosková with the Venus Rosewater Dish.
The red dress was by Roland Mouret—the ‘Wool Origami Peplum Drape Dress’, named for the sculptural folded peplum at the hip. It’s the second time she’s chosen the label for a Wimbledon final, after the emerald green midi in 2023.
Kate paired the dress with mystery ruby and diamond earrings and a matching necklace, echoing the red of her dress.
She offset the bold colour with cool taupe accessories: her Tusting ‘Mini Holly’ handbag, Gianvito Rossi ‘Ribbon 85’ slingbacks—first worn at Wimbledon in 2023—and her Ralph Lauren cat-eye sunglasses. A bow-shaped brooch in Wimbledon’s purple and green completed the look.
Mediterranean Blue
The Princess mixed high-end with high street for her first visit to Wimbledon this year.
She paired a designer Gabriela Hearst suit ($3,000+) with an affordable H&M top ($35) to surprise tennis fans in The Queue, cheer on British players Arthur Fery and Katie Swan, and meet young photographers snapping the action.
The vivid blue and fresh white looked vibrant together in the summer sun, evoking a crisp Mediterranean summer palette.
Lapis Lazuli and Moonstone earrings (from Carousel Jewels, a small British company) echoed the vivid blue and white of her outfit.
A stylish Anya Hindmarch tote, Ralph Lauren cat-eye sunglasses and tan shoes, also by Ralph Lauren, completed the look.
2025
Cobalt & Gold
Kate chose a striking cobalt blue dress for the 2025 Men’s Final, which she elevated with chunky gold statement jewellery.
The Princess attended the final with her husband William, son George, and daughter Charlotte. The four watched Italy’s Jannik Sinner defeat Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, clinching his first Wimbledon title.
The blue dress, by Roksanda, featured a statement ruffle at the shoulder, darting through the bodice, and a belted waist. The two-tone design featured a subtle blue-green panel at the hip.
Kate topped her look with the L.K. Bennett ‘Saffron’ straw hat, the wide-brimmed, floppy style she debuted at Wimbledon in 2022.
She carried her Anya Hindmarch Neeson tote in ‘chalk’ and wore Ralph Lauren cat-eye sunglasses in Black Havana.
Jewellery-wise, the Princess added sparkle with her Cartier Trinity earrings and a new gold and diamond necklace from Daniella Draper—the Gold 8 Diamond Luxury Forever Pendant on a chunky chain.
She completed the look with Ralph Lauren ‘Celia’ heels in a warm golden brown.
Wimbledon Whites
Kate attended the 2025 Ladies’ Finals in one of her signature ensembles—a belted ‘jacket’ dress. This time, a Self-Portrait piece, paying homage to the famous ‘Wimbledon Whites’.
The Princess watched Iga Swiatek triumph over Amanda Anisimova with a commanding 6-0, 6-0 victory, before stepping onto Centre Court to present the Polish player with the Venus Rosewater Dish.
Kate finished her chic ensemble with neutral–coloured slingbacks by Gianvito Rossi, a woven tote by Anya Hindmarch, and a pair of cat-eye sunglasses by Ralph Lauren.
For jewellery, she chose her Cartier Trinity earrings and added a touch of accessible sparkle with the ‘Maya’ bangle by Halcyon Days.
The Princess received a standing ovation from the crowd as she entered the Royal Box, where she sat alongside AELTC chair Debbie Jevans and was seen warmly chatting with tennis legend Billie Jean King.
2024
Royal Purple
Kate looked vibrant in a purple dress by Safiyaa London for the 2024 Wimbledon Championship Finals.
From the Royal Box, the Princess watched Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic go head-to-head once again.
She carried a cream handbag by L.K. Bennett and brought in a little daytime glamour with two Halcyon Days bangles.
She finished the ensemble with her Camilla Elphick Lucia sandals.
2023
Emerald on the Lawn
Kate brought a rich burst of emerald green to Centre Court for the 2023 Men’s Final in a vibrant midi dress by Roland Mouret.
From the Royal Box, Kate saw Carlos Alcaraz triumph over Novak Djokovic.
The Princess paired her green dress with neutral accessories, the Natasha clutch in Blush from Emmy London and the Gianvito Rossi 105 pumps in bisque.
She also wore earrings by Milina London, a pair of Victoria Beckham sunglasses and a Halcyon Days bangle.
Zesty Lime
Kate made a bold splash of colour for the 2023 Ladies’ Finals, stepping out in one of her brightest Wimbledon looks to date, a zesty lime dress by Self-Portrait.
The Princess watched Marketa Vondrousova make history as the first-ever unseeded Wimbledon Ladies’ Singles Champion. After, she was on hand to present a trophy in her role as club Patron.
The Princess styled the eye-catching dress with a pair of pearl earrings by Cassandra Goad, Gianvito Rossi suede slingbacks, Victoria Beckham sunglasses, a Halcyon Days bangle, and a neutral-coloured clutch by Emmy London.
Fashion Foward
Kate’s first Wimbledon appearance of 2023 was quite unexpected—a bright mint blazer worn over a white pleated maxi skirt.
The blazer got everyone talking with its dramatic 1980s silhouette, padded shoulders and white lapels. The brand choice surprised fashion critics, too—Balmain. A first for Kate. The French luxury house is known for its edgier, often avant-garde designs.
The Princess paired the ensemble with her Gianvito Rossi 105 heels in white leather, her Shyla London Chunky Knot Baroque Pearl Earrings and her Mulberry Amberley handbag in white.
Despite the London rain, Kate’s spirits remained high as she attended several matches and met with celebrated professional tennis player Emma Raducanu.
2022
Polka Dot Princess
Polka dots returned for the 2022 Men’s Final, this time in the form of a navy dress by Alessandra Rich, one of Kate’s go-to designers.
A pair of two-tone slingbacks—also by Alessandra Rich—matched the dress perfectly.
Kate finished the look with her Bvlgari cat-eye sunglasses and her mystery sapphire and diamond earrings.
Sunshine Yellow
The Princess brought the sunshine to the Ladies’ Finals in 2022. She wore a gloriously bright yellow dress by Roksanda.
The item was first seen in Jamaica during the Platinum Jubilee Tour earlier in the year. (UPDATE: And worn again to Royal Ascot in 2026).
A pair of citrine earrings by Kiki McDonough echoed the colour of the dress.
She finished the outfit with white Gianvito Rossi heels, Bvlgari cat-eye sunglasses and an oversized straw sun hat by L.K. Bennett.
Azure Blue & White
Kate made a statement in a vibrant azure blue polka dot dress for Day Nine of Wimbledon in 2022.
She opted for her blue polka-dot dress by Alessandra Rich, first worn at the Big Lunch during the Platinum Jubilee weekend.
Oversized pearl earrings (by In2Design) mirrored the dots on her dress, while her Finlay & Co. sunglasses shielded her eyes from the summer sun.
Kate’s Mulberry Amberley handbag and Alessandra Rich Slingbacks—both in white—picked up on the spots in the dress.
2021
Beautiful in Blush
Kate mixed things up for the 2021 Men’s Singles Finals by swapping her usual Wimbledon palette (white, green, blue, yellow) for a soft, delicate pink.
Kate selected Beulah London’s Ahana dress as she attended the match between Novak Djokovic and Matteo Berrettini.
While the dress was beautifully simple, her vintage beaded clutch by Josef introduced some texture and pattern.
Kate completed her look with sparkling diamond earrings by Mappin & Webb, a pair of neutral-coloured block-heeled pumps by Aldo and her Ray-Ban ‘Chris’ sunglasses.
Classic Green
The Princess selected this beautiful green dress for the Ladies’ Finals in 2021.
The match marked Kate’s first public appearance following a period of self-isolation during the pandemic—Kate had followed government guidelines and stayed home following contact with somebody who had tested positive for COVID-19.
She set foot onto Centre Court to present the winner, Ashleigh Barty, with her trophy.
The Princess brought in contrast by wearing white Jimmy Choo shoes with the dark green dress.
She added a golden bangle and a pair of green gemstone earrings by her favourite jeweller, Kiki McDonough, which complemented the hue of her dress.
Spotty Separates
This was the first year we’d seen Kate depart from dresses in over a decade! Up until this point, Kate had only ever worn dresses to Wimbledon. For day five of the 2021 Championships, she wore separates.
The Princess cheered on Jamie Murray in the men’s doubles, visited the club kitchen to help prepare strawberries and cream, toured the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum before heading to the Royal Box to watch Andy Murray on Centre Court.
For her first visit of the year, Kate tucked a plain white tee into a blue polka dot skirt by Alessandra Rich. She finished off the look with her Smythe Duchess Blazer in navy blue. She also layered two gold necklaces by Spells of Love and Daniella Draper and carried her white Mulberry Amberley.
We saw a return of her Simone Rocha ‘pearl’ earrings and a new white handbag: the Mulberry Amberley Small Crossbody, which she carried in her hand. Finally, Kate wore her Ray-Ban ‘Chris’ sunglasses.
2020
Bonus!
The Wimbledon tournament didn’t take place in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. To mark what would normally be ‘finals weekend’, Kate took part in a Zoom call with young tennis players from Bond Primary School in London.
Kate hosted the chat in her role as Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Andy Murray also hopped on the call to surprise the students.
For the Zoom chat, Kate selected a green shirt dress by HVN. An appropriate choice, it was decorated with a tennis-themed print. I expect we’ll see this dress at a tennis-themed engagement in the future.
In the video, you can see Kate also wore her Monica Vinader Siren earrings.
2019
Pastel Princess
Returning to Centre Court for the Men’s Final in 2019, the Princess looked lovely in a pale blue Emilia Wickstead dress.
For the Federer-Djokovic final, she wore the New Zealand-born designer’s ‘Jordin’ dress. It remains a favourite of mine thanks to the colour and the unique twisted shoulder strap detail.
Kate offset the otherwise plain dress with a colourful beaded clutch from Josef—the vintage item complemented the dress beautifully.
She finished the look with her In2Design pearl earrings, Ray-Ban Wayfarer II sunglasses, and a new pair of shoes: the ALDO ‘Nicholes’ in a neutral colour.
Kate congratulated the winner, Djokovic, and presented him with his trophy.
Tour Rewear
Kate’s 2019 Wimbledon appearance was notable for more than just the fashion. It marked the first time the Princess attended the Championships alongside both her sister, Pippa Matthews, and her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle.
The three women saw Simona Halep defeat Serena Williams in the Ladies’ Final.
This time, Kate opted for another tour re-wear. A green mid-length dress by Dolce & Gabbana. She initially wore the dress during a visit to British Columbia, Canada, in 2016.
Originally, the ready-to-wear version featured a clock motif under the right shoulder. It was known as the ‘Pocket Watch-Applique Midi Dress’ from D&G’s AW16 collection. A plain version without the clock motif was later released by the fashion house.
At Wimbledon, Kate accessorised with her Asprey London Oak Leaf hoop earrings, Rupert Sanderson Malory pumps, a Dolce & Gabbana Sicily Bag and Ray-Ban Wayfarer II sunglasses.
Wowing in White
For her first Wimbledon appearance of 2019, in her role as Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Kate toured the practice courts before watching a couple of games.
She went for monochrome on this occasion, accessorising the white Flippy Wiggle dress by Suzannah, with a black bow belt by Alexander McQueen and black Gianvito Rossi block heels.
She lifted the look by adding gold earrings by Catherine Zoraida, and a yellow/gold cocktail ring (maker unknown).
Kate debuted a new Alexander McQueen satchel and wore her Ray-Ban Wayfarer II sunglasses.
2019
Tennis ball colour
Talk about eye-catching! The Princess evoked a tennis ball for 2018’s second Royal Box appearance of the year.
She wore a Dolce & Gabbana piece from the label’s Resort ’17 collection to watch Novak Djokovic play Kevin Anderson in the Men’s Final with her husband, William.
She accessorised with her Dolce & Gabbana Sicily Bag, her Asprey Oak Leaf Earrings, her Asprey Woodland Charm necklace, her Ray-Ban Chris sunglasses and the same mystery yellow cocktail ring mentioned above (that she’s worn since at least 2008).
Tennis Ball Print
The 2018 Championships marked Kate and Meghan’s first public engagement together without their husbands. The sisters-in-law attended the Ladies’ Singles Final side by side, just two months after the Duchess of Sussex’s royal wedding.
Prior to play, Kate and Meghan took part in a meet and greet with ball boys/girls, wheelchair competitors, and junior players.
On this occasion, Kate wore a bespoke dress by Jenny Packham. It featured cap sleeves, ruffled detailing at the shoulder and waist, plus a black polka dot print that somewhat resembled tennis balls.
Kate chose largely neutral accessories— a cream Dolce & Gabbana bag, a pair of taupe suede Gianvito Rossi pumps, and a pair of simple pearl drop earrings by In2Design. She wore her Ray-Ban ‘Chris’ sunglasses to watch play during sunnier moments.
2017
Floral Flourish
I loved this look from the 2017 Men’s Final—and I’m still a big fan today. It’s one of the prettiest day dresses that she’s ever worn!
The garment is a fit and flare dress by Catherine Walker, decorated with a beautiful wildflower print along the hem.
The garment was bespoke, either created for Kate or loaned to her. It was never listed on Catherine Walker’s website.
The image below comes from the label’s Instagram account. They created the ‘wildflower’ dress for a pop-up catwalk show for Chelsea in Bloom during the Chelsea Flower Show.
I don’t know if Kate wore/borrowed/bought the version worn by the model, or had her own commissioned.
She finished the look with her Victoria Beckham Quincy bag, Bvlgari sunglasses, Cassandra Goad earrings and a pair of Stuart Weitzman block-heeled sandals.
Dotty For Dolce
As you’ll have noticed, polka dots became something of trend in Kate’s Wimbledon wardrobe. She first wore them on the opening day of Wimbledon in 2017.
It was her first official visit as the newly-appointed Royal Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, a role previously held by the Queen. Kate conducted a meet and greet before watching the tennis.
From this point onwards, Wimbledon became more than a favourite summer outing for Kate. It became one of her key annual royal roles.
Her white fit-and-flare dress was a Dolce & Gabbana piece.
Her suede sandals (by Office) picked up on the black spots, while her Oscar de la Renta earrings added a subtle flourish to the outfit.
She added a pair of Bvlgari sunglasses and her Victoria Beckham Quincy bag.
2016
Moths, Skulls and McQueen
Kate’s dress for the 2016 Men’s Final was a little unconventional. If you look closely, you’ll see the print is an eclectic mix of motifs—moths, flowers, eyes, crystals, marbles and skulls!
It is, of course, an Alexander McQueen piece—the Obsession Talisman dress. Here’s a closer look at the print:
Kate wore the ivory silk dress with a pair of gold earrings from Brora (still available in 2026), the L.K. Bennett Natalie raffia box clutch, and a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses (I’m not sure if she wore the folding or non-folding style on this occasion.)
Banana Dress
Kate brought back her famous ‘banana dress’ for Wimbledon in 2016.
Kate debuted the vibrant Roksanda design during the 2014 tour of Australia, where she revealed that her husband had joked that it made her look like a banana! It obviously didn’t put her off wearing the frock for a second time.
Kate attended the Ladies’ Semi-Finals after conducting a meet and greet with tournament officials, service personnel, ball boys/girls and other notable people for the first time. (This went on to become a tradition after Kate became Patron of the club.)
Kate styled the dress with a pair of nude pumps by Rupert Sanderson—the Malory style—and a pair of pearl earrings by Soru Jewellery.
She debuted her large white Victoria Beckham Quincy handbag, plus she wore her folding Wayfarer Ray-Ban sunglasses.
2015
Red Alert
Kate attended Wimbledon once in 2015, to watch Andy Murray play in the quarter-finals.
Although it was the sixth time she’d sat in the Royal Box since 2011, it was the first time we’d seen her wear a new dress for the occasion. Every other dress she’d worn to the tournament was a repeat from an earlier tour.
In Kate’s early Wimbledon years, her outfits often came straight from her existing tour wardrobe. Rather than dressing specifically for the tournament, she reworked familiar pieces from Canada, Australia and the Solomon Islands.
The red colour was another departure—Kate had worn mostly white and cream up until this point. She’d purchased the short-sleeved dress from L.K. Bennett (the Cayla style).
Kate carried her leopard print Diane von Furstenberg Lytton clutch and wore a pair of gold hoop earrings by Mirabelle.
She finished the look with her nude-coloured Jimmy Choo Gilbert Pumps and her Ray-Ban Wayfarer Folding Sunglasses, which she wore during sunny moments of play.
2014
Sydney Tour Rewear
The Princess looked fresh in this white broderie anglaise dress for the 2014 Men’s Quarter-Finals.
To watch Andy Murray go head-to-head with Grigor Dimitrov, Kate rewore the Zimmermann Roamer Day Dress from the 2014 visit to Sydney.
She completed the outfit with her trusty L.K. Bennett Sledge Pumps, an Anya Hindmarch clutch bag in the shape of a fan, her Annoushka pearl earrings, a red pashmina/scarf and her Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses.
Solomon Islands Tour Rewear
Kate re-wore another tour dress for her second Wimbledon appearance of 2014—she watched Novak Djokovic play Roger Federer in the Men’s Final.
For the match, she wore the blue and green ‘Evelyn’ dress by Jonathan Saunders. We first spotted her wearing it during a visit to the Solomon Islands during the Jubilee Tour in 2012.
Kate kept things classic by carrying a cream rectangular clutch by L.K. Bennett, her Givenchy sunglasses and a gold Woodland Charm necklace by Asprey.
Her Kiki McDonough oval drop earrings worked well with the green and blue hues of the dress.
2013
The Reason Kate Missed Wimbledon:
Kate did not attend Wimbledon in 2013, as she was nearing the end of her first pregnancy. In an interview for Our Wimbledon, the BBC documentary that aired in 2017, Kate revealed that she was advised by doctors not to attend.
She’ll have been disappointed to have missed Andy Murray’s historic win, no doubt—he defeated Novak Djokovic to become the first British man to win the final in 77 years. Prince George was born two weeks later.
2012
Canada Tour Rewear
Kate invited her sister, Pippa, to the Royal Box in 2012. The two Middleton sisters saw Andy Murray play Roger Federer in the Men’s Singles Final—Roger emerged victorious.
Kate wore her cream-coloured Vanessa dress from Joseph. Another 2011 tour re-wear from Charlottetown, Canada 2011.
Over the cream dress, Kate wore a cream tweed jacket, also by Joseph. A leopard print clutch (by Diane von Furstenberg) added a pop of print to an otherwise plain outfit.
In terms of sparkle, Kate wore her Kiki McDonough citrine earrings, an Acorn necklace, a silver chain (possibly by Wimbledon’s then-sponsor, Links of London), finishing the look with a pair of Givenchy sunglasses.
Sailor Chic
In 2012, Kate raided her tour wardrobe for her first Wimbledon appearance of the year, on Day Nine of the Championships.
For the Men’s Singles Quarterfinals, Kate selected the cream sailor-inspired dress designed by Alexander McQueen‘s Sarah Burton.
You might remember the cable-knit garment from the couple’s 2011 visit to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
At Wimbledon, Kate chose blue accessories to pick out the detail in her dress. She wore sapphire earrings (which remain a mystery to this day), carried a blue quilted bag by Jaeger (renamed in her honour), and completed the look with blue suede pumps by Alexander McQueen.
2011
Royal Box Debut… The Look That Started It All!
Kate made her Wimbledon Royal Box debut just months after her royal wedding, making an unforgettable first impression in a white sleeveless dress with unique cut-outs on the straps.
The then-Duchess cheered on Andy Murray in a fourth-round match on day seven of the tournament. According to news reports, the weather was “scorching hot”—hence the sleeveless dress.
The garment was by Temperley London, the label’s Moriah dress. It featured three tiers of pleated ruffles and shoulder straps with a unique circular cutout design on the straps.
This is one of many occasions where Kate wore her iconic taupe platform pumps by L.K. Bennett. She also carried a Stuart Weitzman clutch in a matching shade.
Her ‘mystery’ sapphire earrings added a little sparkle. She carried a brown jacket, which has never been identified as we didn’t manage to get a good look at it.
She finished the look with a bracelet, a wedding gift from Camilla. The piece features both Kate and Camilla’s royal cyphers engraved on the gold disc.
Looking back, Kate’s Wimbledon style has followed a clear evolution. In the early years, she leaned heavily on re-worn tour dresses, neutral accessories and the polished pieces that defined her newlywed Duchess era.
The early looks are mostly “I already own this, it works for summer.” The later looks feel planned around Wimbledon and the formality of her role as Patron.
Since becoming Patron, she’s embraced more event-specific dressing. Her recent looks feel more confident and considered,
She’s certainly turned Centre Court into one of her most closely watched fashion moments of the summer.
