All of the Princess of Wales’s Fashion Grand Slams at Wimbledon

Since making her debut in the Royal Box in 2011, Kate Middleton’s Wimbledon outfits have fallen loosely into four categories. There are the ones that nod to tennis whites (see: the pleated Temperley design she chose for her first Centre Court appearance as a newlywed); the polka-dotted ones (Kate’s staple summer print); the Wimbledon-green ones (she is, after all, Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club); and the wild cards (like the mint Balmain blazer she debuted in 2023).

For anyone tasked with covering royal fashion, the latter are most welcome—recall her skull-, lipstick-, and butterfly-printed Alexander McQueen dress from 2016’s tournament? But if you’re simply trying to figure out what to wear for an afternoon of Pimm’s and politesse, the Princess of Wales’s turns in Jenny Packham, Alessandra Rich, and Catherine Walker are a good point of reference.

Below, find all of Kate Middleton’s Wimbledon outfits through the years.
