Fashion fault: The Wimbledon rule ignored by Princess Catherine
A controversial error at the Wimbledon men's singles final by the usually faultless Princess Catherine could force the hand of fashion umpires. At the women's singles final Catherine's cream dress from Self-Portrait, accessorised with a tote from Anya Hindmarch (not from the handbag designer's collection for Woolworths supermarkets) was a flawless example of day dressing. The streamlined silhouette was repeated at the men's final in a cornflower blue dress by Roksanda, where Catherine presented the winner's trophy to Jannik Sinner, but it was her choice of accessory that challenged tennis club etiquette. Catherine arrived at Wimbledon clutching a wide-brimmed, ribbon-trimmed hat from LK Bennett. During the final, Catherine wore the hat when the sun hit the royal box, while waving a fan to combat the effects of the London heatwave. Having set the tone, Catherine was joined by Australian Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman, covering up in a panama hat from Italian designer Brunello Cucinelli. Kidman's neighbour in the royal box, outgoing US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, relied on her signature bob and sunglasses for sun protection. Loading The dress guide for the royal box at Wimbledon advises: 'Ladies are asked not to wear hats, as they tend to obscure the vision of those seated behind them.' This is the second time that Catherine has ignored the advice of the club, which she became patron of in 2016. In 2022, in a yellow dress from Roksanda, the Princess of Wales also wore the LK Bennett straw hat. 'Rules like not wearing hats are outdated and dangerous,' says Australian model Deborah Hutton, who founded the sun smart hat collection Canopy Bay in 2021, following her own experiences with skin cancer. 'Melanoma rates are on the rise in the UK. At the tennis the sun is baking you. It's insanity not to wear a hat of some description.'

Every outfit Kate Middleton has worn at Wimbledon as she attends the 2025 finals
When it comes to fashion, there's no question who takes the Grand Slam at Wimbledon. Since 2011, her first appearance at the tournament, Kate Middleton's fashion choices have wowed the Centre Court crowds. This year, the Princess of Wales, who is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, awarded Polish winner Iga Swiatek the women's singles trophy in an elegant cream ensemble. Despite the heatwave, she looked cool as a cucumber in a pleated peplum Self-Portrait dress, which she accessorised with an Anya Hindmarch tote bag, her favourite Gianvito Rossi suede pumps, a gold Halcyon Days bracelet and Cartier earrings. Her outfit for today's men's singles final was equally sleek and summery: watching the match with Prince William and two of their three children, George and Charlotte, Kate was a vision in royal blue. Catherine's bright midi dress is reminiscent of a similar Roksanda number worn to the tournament previously, with a statement bow on the left shoulder and a nipped-in belted waist. Providing some welcome shade, Catherine also donned a wide-brimmed straw hat from LK Bennett, while the aforementioned Cartier bracelet added a touch of sparkle to the ensemble. Often opting for her favourite designers, such as Alexander McQueen, LK Bennet and Dolce & Gabbana, the 43-year-old always manages to stand out in a star-studded Royal Box. These are all of the looks she's has worn courtside at Wimbledon over the years. Sixteen years ago, Kate Middleton turned heads as the then girlfriend of Prince William. This was likely the first time the young soon-to-be Princess was snapped in the stands, then just 26-year-old, wearing a simple white dress and black cardigan. Just a few months after getting married, Kate wore newlywed (or is it Wimbledon?) whites, on an extremely hot day in South London. Her debut look of a sleeveless (scandalous!) tiered gown was by Temperley London. She was accompanied by Prince William, and the pair even joined in with a Mexican wave. Kate made two appearances at Wimbledon in 2012 during a summer of sport for the capital. The first was a nautical themed knitted ensemble by Sarah Burton's Alexander McQueen, the woman behind the Princess' wedding dress. For the final, Kate, who was accompanied by her sister, Pippa, stuck to white, wearing a jacket and dress by Joseph. In 2013, Just weeks away from giving birth to her first child, Prince George, who was born 22 July 2013, doctors advised Kate – who had suffered during her pregnancy with severe morning sickness – not to attend the tournament. Then in 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic stopped play, although the Princess did hold a Zoom call with young tennis players, to mark what would have been the weekend when the finals are unusually played. Kate was back with a bang in 2014, in a broderie white dress by Zimmerman. Broderie has been a favourite fabric for 2024, with Vogue calling it 'the trend to invest in this season', so clearly our Kate was way ahead of the game. For the men's final that year, she moved away from whites for the first time, and opted for a blue and green Jonathan Saunders day dress. Despite giving birth to Princess Charlotte just three months earlier, The Princess of Wales delighted fans with an appearance in 2015. She was every inch the lady in red, standing out from the crowd in her £250 LK Bennet structured dress. The dress sold out online within hours of the then-Duchess wearing it. She paired the striking piece with a leopard print clutch by DVF. Another year, and even more colour, this time a yellow and white shift dress by Roksanda. Kate would go onto wear the sunshine shade twice more at future Wimbledon tournaments. Kate's dress is actually a customised version of the one that could be purchased off the rack, which has a more flared sleeve and is white, with yellow accents (rather than the other way around, as seen on Kate). Her second look in 2016 was another eye-catching number: an Alexander McQueen dress with a pattern that featured interesting motifs, including eyes, insects and lipstick. Polka dots have become somewhat synonymous with Kate Middleton at Wimbledon, but 2017 was the first time she chose the pattern, wearing a Dolce & Gabbana monochrome piece. Her second look was very British summer-esque: a bespoke Catherine Walker dress with a wildflower meadow-style print. We also loved Kate's shorter, grown-out bob length hair this year. Attending for the first time with sister-in-law Meghan Markle, Kate dressed oh-so-on theme in yet more polka dots – or are they tennis balls? The Jenny Packham dress was certainly a serve. Then, for the men's final she was back in yellow again, this time another Dolce & Gabbana creation. Back in Wimbledon whites for her first appearance in 2019, Kate wore a Suzannah dress, paired with an Alexander McQueen belt and clutch. This look didn't come cheap, with the elegant dress costing £1,850. Then, it was back to colour: her next look was a forest green dress by Dolce & Gabbana, and for her final appearance she wore blue Emilia Wickstead. For the first time ever, Kate didn't wear a dress to the All England Lawn Tennis Club, instead opting for a skirt, top and jacket combo. Back in what must be her favourite pattern, the pleated navy polka dot dress was by Alessandra Rich. For the women's final, Kate wore a green dress by Emilia Wickstead, and for the men's final, she must have known that Barbie fever was on its way, as she chose a £720 belted pink midi dress by Beulah London. We saw Kate in polka dots twice in 2022: first an Alessandra Rich belted sky blue gown, and then a navy dress by the same designer. But it was another yellow dress by Roksanda that really turned heads this year, which was teamed with a wide brimmed LK Bennet straw hat. Kate went green in 2023, with three outfits in different shades of the same colour. First, she opted for a statement mint green and white Balmain blazer. The two-tone crêpe blazer had previously been seen on none other than Selling Sunset's Chelsea Lazkani. Next up was a custom version of a lime green Self Portrait dress, tailored to feature a higher, collared neckline. More Trending And for her third choice, she wore elegant emerald green by Roland Mouret. After being diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year, Kate made one of her few appearances of 2024 at the Wimbledon men singles final, where she presented Carlos Alcaraz with the winning trophy. Wearing an elegant purple midi dress, she received a standing ovation as she made her way to the Royal Box alongside Princess Charlotte and sister, Pippa. The royal paired the customised £1,295 Safiyaa frock with a nude bag and shoes, statement Pariah hoop earrings, and a bow brooch in the signature purple and green colours.

Kate Middleton's Best Wimbledon Looks Ahead of Her 2025 Appearances
Kate Middleton has had some of her best fashion moments at Wimbledon. As patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, the Princess of Wales has made her love of tennis known by attending the annual event year after year. She often saves her brightest, boldest colors for the tennis tournament, standing out sartorially in the Royal Box. British labels like Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda are among her favorites for the occasion along with fashion-favorite Alessandra Rich. Her polka dot selections from the London-based Italian designer remain among the royal's most striking dresses. What is equally exciting about Kate at Wimbledon is her reactions. While most royal occasions call for steely disposition, Wimbledon allows Kate to move from spectated to spectator. She smiles, has her hands on her face, and makes as many 'oohs' and 'aahs' as anyone else there. With the 2025 Championships beginning on June 30, Kate is set to traverse the steps into the Royal Box again. Last year, following her cancer diagnosis and treatment, she was welcomed with a lengthy standing ovation. And the same sort of reaction is likely for Wimbledon 2025, too. While the world waits for the games to start, here's the Princess of Wales's best Wimbledon looks so far. The Princess of Wales was greeted with a round of applause when she arrived in the Royal Box at Centre Court wearing a purple Safiyaa dress. She chose a green Roland Mouret dress to present Carlos Alcaraz with the winner's title. A citrus Self-Portrait skirt suit for the 13th day of the 2023 Championships. She chose sunshine yellow by Roksanda, a dress she wore first during a trip to the Caribbean. She chose a navy polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich for the final day of the 2022 Championships. Attending with her husband, Prince William, Kate looked especially fashion forward in a blue polka dot Alessandra Rich dress styled with slingback stilettos and a Mulberry bag. She paired her perfect blowout with a forest-green Emilia Wickstead dress and white pumps. In 2021, she chose a blush-pink Beulah dress. Kate stepped onto Centre Court in baby-blue Emilia Wickstead dress to give Novak Djokovic the winner's trophy. She wore dark-green Dolce & Gabbana dress with gold button detailing to watch the women's finals with her sister, Pippa Middleton, and sister-in-law, Meghan Markle. Kate arrived with her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, in tow and wore a printed tea dress and carried a Dolce & Gabbana bag. Kate had a true garden dress moment in a white look from Catherine Walker. The then-Duchess of Cambridge opted for a nature-inspired A-line dress from Alexander McQueen in 2016. Kate stood out in a fitted red dress from LK Bennett and curtain bangs alongside William at the 2015 Championships. Kate joined William in the Royal Box for the men's singles finals during day 13 of the tournament in 2014, wearing a teal and green print dress from Jonathan Saunders. Kate went for a nautical look from Alexander McQueen for the 2012 Championships. Kate and William attended day seven of Wimbledon in 2011, Kate wearing a white pleated tiered dress from Temperley London. Attending with her friends, Kate Middleton wore a brilliant white dress with a black cardigan.
