As we eagerly anticipate the start of this year's Wimbledon tournament, one question remains on everyone's mind: what will Kate Middleton be wearing? When it comes to fashion, there is no doubt that the Duchess of Cambridge reigns supreme on the Grand Slam stage.
Since her first appearance at centre court in 2011, Kate has captivated the crowd with her impeccable sense of style. From her go-to designers like Alexander McQueen, LK Bennet, and Dolce & Gabbana, to her stunning ensembles that always stand out in the star-studded Royal Box, the 42-year-old never fails to impress.
This year, there were doubts about whether Kate would be able to attend the All England Lawn Tennis Club, as she is currently undergoing cancer treatment. However, the palace has confirmed that she will indeed be present to watch the Gentlemen's Singles Final and present the winner's trophy as the club's Patron. Royal fans are sure to be delighted to catch a glimpse of the Princess and admire yet another one of her stylish ensembles.
In recent years, Kate has been known to revamp and upgrade previously worn pieces, as she did for this year's Trooping the Colour. Perhaps we will see an old favorite make an appearance once again in a brand new light. Let's take a look back at all 25 of Kate's iconic Wimbledon looks throughout the years.
It all began in 2008, when a 26-year-old Kate Middleton turned heads as Prince William's girlfriend, sporting a simple white dress and black cardigan in the stands. Fast forward to 2011, just a few months after her wedding, and Kate made her debut appearance in a sleeveless tiered gown by Temperley London, looking radiant in newlywed whites on a scorching hot day.
In 2012, Kate made two appearances at Wimbledon, as London was buzzing with summer sports fever. She rocked a nautical themed knitted ensemble by Sarah Burton's Alexander McQueen, the same designer who created her iconic wedding dress. For the final, Kate opted for a white jacket and dress by Joseph, accompanied by her sister Pippa.
But where was Kate in 2013 and 2020? Well, in 2013, she was advised by doctors to stay home due to severe morning sickness, as she was just weeks away from giving birth to her first child, Prince George. And in 2020, the pandemic put a halt to the tournament, but Kate did make a virtual appearance to mark the occasion.
Kate made a comeback in 2014, donning a broderie white dress by Zimmerman, once again ahead of the fashion game with the trendy fabric. She also made a statement in a blue and green Jonathan Saunders day dress for the men's final. In 2015, just three months after giving birth to Princess Charlotte, Kate wowed in a lady in red look, wearing a £250 structured dress by LK Bennet and a leopard print clutch by DVF.
2016 was all about color for Kate, as she rocked a yellow and white shift dress by Roksanda, which she would go on to wear twice more at future Wimbledon tournaments. Her second look was a quirky Alexander McQueen piece with interesting motifs. In 2017, she sported polka dots for the first time in a Dolce & Gabbana monochrome dress, followed by a quintessentially British wildflower meadow-style print dress by Catherine Walker.
Kate's first appearance with sister-in-law Meghan Markle in 2018 was a fashion triumph, with both ladies opting for polka dot ensembles. Kate's Jenny Packham dress was a definite ace, and she later stunned in a yellow Dolce & Gabbana creation. In 2019, Kate went back to Wimbledon whites in a £1,850 Suzannah dress with a matching Alexander McQueen belt and clutch. She then switched it up with a forest green Dolce & Gabbana dress and a blue Emilia Wickstead piece.
This year, Kate surprised us all by not wearing a dress, but instead opting for a navy polka dot skirt, top, and jacket combo by Alessandra Rich. She then switched into a green Emilia Wickstead dress for the women's final and a pink midi dress by Beulah London for the men's final. It seems like Kate knew about the upcoming Barbie fever, as she was ahead of the curve with her pink choice.
In 2022, Kate showed her love for polka dots once again, wearing an Alessandra Rich sky blue gown and a navy dress by the same designer. But it was her yellow Roksanda dress that stole the show, paired with a wide-brimmed LK Bennet straw hat. And in 2023, Kate rocked three different shades of green, including a statement mint green and white Balmain blazer, a custom lime green Self Portrait dress, and an elegant emerald green Roland Mouret piece.
We can't help but wonder if Kate took fashion tips from Selling Sunset's Chelsea Lazkani, as she sported a mint green and white blazer that had previously been seen on the show. It's safe to say that Kate has truly become a fashion icon at Wimbledon, and we can't wait to see what she will surprise us with next year. Do you have a favorite Kate Wimbledon look?
