Ace your Wimbledon wardrobe with Aligne's new summer collection
Synonymous with strawberries and cream, Pimm's and the Royal Box, Wimbledon is just around the corner. But for fashion fans, the annual sporting occasion is just as much about serving looks.
The Championships officially kick off on Monday 30 June 2025, offering a chance to dress in your summer finest, weather permitting. Many onlookers decide to match the enforced all-white dress code for players, which has been tradition since the 1880s. Others lean into the preppy, thoroughly English feel of Wimbledon with plaid, stripe and cable knits.
Each year, summer textures come to the forefront (think crochet, boucle and broderie), as well as sharp tailoring from A-listers like Zendaya wearing ties to Olivia Cooke in a tweed dress suit.
There are a lot of options, and if you're lucky enough to be attending a match this summer, there's one high street label that can solve your Wimbledon wardrobe conundrums: Aligne.
Founded just five years ago, the British label has won itself a loyal fashion following thanks to its capsule approach. From its bestselling waisted blazers to signature denim collection of mini dresses and barrel jeans, the brand is all about creating tentpoles for your wardrobe.
Aligne's summer 2025 collection is its best yet. From crochet mini dresses and A-line waistcoats to co-ords and white sundresses, it serves plenty of inspiration for Wimbledon style. Here are the highlights.
Lending itself well to Wimbledon, crochet is a perennially chic summer texture. This mini dress features contrasting brown stitch detailing along the seams, complete with a ribbed crew neckline and sleeveless design. Boasting a comfortable, relaxed cut, the dress is made from an organic cotton fabric for a lightweight feel. You can style with a scarf in your hair and loafers for a perfectly preppy look.
Characterised by a laid-back crew neckline and sleeveless design, the horizontal stripes on this mini dress will work to elongate your figure. We love the contrasting textures of the boucle fabric and the frayed fringe hem. Crafted from an organic cotton and recycled nylon blend, the dress is sure to be airy and breathable, with a bit of give when it comes to the fit.
Aligne's bestselling Daphne blazer has been given an upgrade for summer 2025. Now crafted from a linen and cotton blend for a lightweight feel, the blazer features the brand's signature cinched-in waist, A-line silhouette and flattering scoop neckline. Available in a crisp Wimbledon white finish, the black buttons add sleek detailing.
White poplin skirts are a versatile wardrobe addition. Crafted from organic cotton, both the material and floaty A-line fit of Aligne's Natalie skirt make it a hero summer piece. Boasting an elasticated waist for comfort, the skirt features statement volume in the hem. Plus, it even has pockets.
Available in Wimbledon white or minimalist black, Aligne's Rosia dress is characterised by its on-trend drop waist silhouette. The fitted body flows down into a voluminous A-line midi skirt. Plus, the wide shoulder straps will easily conceal a bra.
Aligne's broderie co-ord can just as easily be thrown over a bikini on holiday as it can be dressed up for Wimbledon (just add ballet flats and a statement pair of sunglasses). The short-sleeved cotton shirt is designed in a boxy, androgynous cut with concealed buttons for a seamless look and a Seventies bowling-style collar. Both the shirt and matching shorts (£89, Aligne.co) are characterised by delicate square broderie detailing.

Gracie Abrams snogs and parties with boyfriend Paul Mescal until 3am after finishing Glastonbury set
GRACIE ABRAMS finished her set on The Other Stage then headed straight for her significant other – as she snogged and partied with boyfriend Paul Mescal until 3am. Gracie and Paul were joined by his singer sister Nell, as well as his Normal People co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones and her photographer boyfriend Ben Seed, at The Glade stage to take in a set by US DJ Seth Troxler. 4 4 4 An onlooker on Friday night said: ' Paul and Gracie were all over each other and couldn't resist a cheeky snog while their pals used the loos. 'Gracie was still full of energy despite playing on The Other Stage just hours before. 'The group were clearly still on a high from her magical performance as the sun set over Worthy Farm.' Paul earned boyfriend points as he got in among the crowd to watch Gracie's set – alongside his fellow Irish actor Andrew Scott, Daisy and Nell. At one point, Daisy was up on Ben's shoulders showing her appreciation for the music. A source said: 'Paul is so proud of Gracie and loved being with their friends as she saw her dream of performing at Glasto come true.' Gracie sang hits including That's So True, Close To You and I Love You, I'm Sorry. But although Paul is now a Hollywood actor and his girlfriend a chart-topping artist, he was overheard telling pals he is a normal person and was camping in just a regular tent like the rest of us. Glad to hear that, Paul. Paul Mescal makes the most of the heatwave with girlfriend Gracie Abrams as they enjoy a picnic at a London park 4

Harry Styles parties ‘incognito' in the Glastonbury crowds until 6am – with another One Direction star there too
HE has never played Glasto but that did not stop Harry Styles turning up as a punter ready to party – dressed down in a blue trackie top. The former One Direction man was hard at it until around 6am yesterday at the Somerset festival's happening party district Block9. 10 He was spotted hanging out with close pal Olivia Dean following the singer's secret set on the Strummerville stage — and it seemed he still had plenty of energy after later seeing THE 1975 headline The Pyramid Stage. A source said: 'Harry knows how to party and was loving the vibe at the festival. "He was seen sporting big shades and drinking backstage with pals, and was catching up with Olivia following her set. 'Harry has been spending lots of time in Germany at Berlin nightclub Berghain getting plenty of practice at late nights at Glasto.' 'Low profile' Actor James Norton and new lover Lily Allen were also spotted partying at Block9, alongside actress Anya Taylor-Joy and singer Lorde — who also performed on Friday. Earlier in the day Harry was seen hugging friends in the festival's VIP area. He then headed off to The Other Stage with a group of pals to see Franz Ferdinand play and stayed on to watch Gracie Abrams. An onlooker said: 'Harry was saying how excited he was to be at the festival and was hoping to go as incognito as possible so he could enjoy the music. 'He was politely declining having photos taken with fans, as he wanted to keep a low profile and not draw too much attention.' Meanwhile, Harry's former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson has also been spotted at Worthy Farm — checking out the music with his Love Islander girlfriend Zara McDermott. Sophie Turner confirms she's reunited with aristocrat boyfriend two months after splitting as they cosy up at Glastonbury A source said: 'Glastonbury is huge but Harry and Louis are bound to bump into each other in the VIP area at some point.' So it's a 1D reunion — sort of — at Glasto. 10 10 10 ZARA McDERMOTT did her bit for charity before enjoying the festival. The former Love Island star spoke on The Information stage with domestic abuse organisation Refuge and urged men to call out their friends when sexist jokes go too far. Zara said: 'I have seen boys' group chats, which are so misogynistic and sometimes downright abusive. Boys and men are scared to call each other out. 'They laugh along because it's easier. Just because it's easy doesn't mean it's right.' Boyfriend Louis Tomlinson watched from the crowd. It's brat pack for Denise 10 LOOSE Women's Denise Welch got a taste of brat as she posed with Charli XCX at Worthy Farm. She shared a selfie with the singer before her son Matty Healy headlined the Pyramid Stage with The 1975. It came after the TV star spotted a green flag mimicking Charli's Brat album – with the words 'Denise Welch'. Sharing the selfie next to Charli, who's engaged to 1975 drummer George Daniel, on Insta, Denise wrote: 'Talking about my Brat flag.' Ex-Corrie star Denise also hung out with Matty's fiancee and Charli's BFF Gabbriette backstage. Looks like Denise is part of a new girl gang. Matty's peace of mind THE 1975 frontman Matty Healy preached love to fans during the band's headline set on the Pyramid Stage. Pausing between songs to address the crowd on Friday night, he said: 'The lack of politics in this show, it is a conscious decision. 'We don't want our legacy to be one of politics – we want it to be that of love and friendship. 'You go out into the world and there is loads of politics. We don't need more, we need more love and friendship. 'If you are a young kid and inspired about this band, aspire for friendship and love in what you do and you will never fail – and I love you.' Jade on fur the first time 10 10 THE heat was no sweat for Jade Thirlwall as she donned a gigantic fur hat on stage for her first Glastonbury performance. As well as belting out her own hits, the singer also performed some Little Mix hits, including Shout Out To My Ex and Touch. She was cheered on by her fella Jordan Stephens, who played the day before with his band Rizzle Kicks. Growing emotional when she sang her track Angel Of My Dreams, she thanked the crowd and said: 'I can't believe I'm here.' Veterans Pulp far from patchy 10 IN one of the worst-kept secrets on Worthy Farm, Pulp finally made their appearance on Glasto's Pyramid Stage on Saturday night. The band had been billed as ' Patchwork ' to keep their identity under wraps. Opening with 1995 hit Sorted For E's and Wizz and Disco 2000, frontman Jarvis Cocker said that the set marked a special anniversary. He said: 'My name is Jarvis and this is Pulp – sorry for people who were expecting Patchwork. Did you know we were going to play? How? Psychic? 'Those two songs we just played – Sorted For E's and Wizz and Disco 2000 – were first played on this stage 30 years and four days ago. 'It was the very first time we played them. You could say they were born in Glastonbury.' After Pulp's set, the Red Arrows flew over the Pyramid Stage. Now that's finishing on a high. My verdict By Emily Webber GLASTONBURY made up for all its wet and rainy years with a scorcher of a long weekend down at Worthy Farm. And it wasn't just the weather sending the mercury soaring, as celebs turned out looking hotter than ever for one final hurrah before the fallow year in 2026. It was almost a 1D reunion with Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson on the farm, while Paul Mescal was the ultimate fanboy cheering on his girlfriend Gracie Abrams on The Other Stage. Big stars Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Lily Allen, Holly Willoughby and Eddie Redmayne also made an appearance. That is what Glasto is all about – everyone in the same field no matter how many followers you have. My weekend favourite was Irish singer CMAT on The Pyramid Stage. Unashamedly herself with hits that are full of charm and wit, she will no doubt be propelled to stardom following a flawless performance. There will definitely be a Glasto-shaped hole in my life next June.

Actress Emma Laird, 26, rekindles romance with Matt Smith, 42, as pair look loved-up at trendy London bakery
ACTRESS Emma Laird seems to have travelled back in time by going on a date with Matt Smith. The starlet, who at 26 is 16 years Matt's junior, was last week snapped laughing with the former Doctor Who star outside a trendy bakery in North London. 3 3 Emma, seen at her 28 Years Later film premiere earlier this month, left, seems to have rekindled her romance with Matt, after the pair were first seen in a clinch outside a pub two years ago. An onlooker said: 'The pair look relaxed in each other's company as they sat outside and Matt puffed on a cigarette.' Matt, who stepped down as the sonic screwdriver-wielding Doctor after four years in 2013, has a history of high-profile romances. He was pictured holding hands with Billie Piper at a Surrey fete in 2006. She played Rose Tyler in 34 episodes from 2005 to 2008 before returning for one special in 2010 and another in 2013 marking the show's 50th episode. The two were snapped sharing a snog. He counts models Daisy Lowe and Mayana Moura among his ex-flames. He broke up with actress Lily James in 2019 but briefly rekindled their romance the following year. Matt played Prince Philip in Netflix series The Crown, then landed a starring role in Game Of Thrones spin-off House Of The Dragon as Daemon Targaryen.
