Everything Kate Middleton has worn to Wimbledon since marrying Prince William in 2011
I thought it’d be fun to see how Kate Middleton’s Wimbledon style has evolved over the last fourteen years—the Princess has attended the championships 26 times in total, so let’s take a look at all her outfits in reverse chronological order.
Plus, there’s a bonus entry—a look at her tennis-themed dress during a Zoom call that took place during the pandemic.
2025 – White Self Portrait Dress
Kate attended the Ladies’ Finals at Wimbledon yesterday wearing a white blazer dress, believed to be by Self-Portrait.
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 paired the chic ensemble with her Gianvito Rossi ‘Ribbon 85 Sling’ heels in neutral suede, a new woven Neeson small square tote by Anya Hindmarch, and Ralph Lauren cat-eye sunglasses in Black Havana.
For jewellery, she chose her Cartier Trinity earrings—delicate intertwined hoops in yellow, rose, and white gold—and added a touch of accessible sparkle with the ‘Maya’ bangle by Halcyon Days, this time in the version with ‘diamond’ cabochons.
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 Safiyaa London Dress
Kate Middleton chose a purple dress by Safiyaa London for the 2024 Wimbledon Championship Finals.
From the Royal Box, Kate watched Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic go head-to-head once again.
She paired her purple dress with her L.K. Bennett Milly handbag, two Halcyon Days bangles and her Camilla Elphick Lucia sandals. Earrings TBC.
2023 – Emerald Green Roland Mouret Dress
Kate Middleton chose an emerald dress by Roland Mouret for the 2023 Wimbledon Championship Finals.
From the Royal Box, Kate watched as Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz triumphed over Serbian Novak Djokovic.
Kate paired her green dress with neutral coloured accessories, the Natasha clutch in Blush from Emmy London and the Gianvito Rossi 105 pumps in bisque. She also debuted a pair of earrings from Milina London. Finally, she rewore her Victoria Beckham sunglasses and her Halcyon Days bangle from the previous day.
2023 – Lime Green Self-Portrait Dress
For her second Wimbledon appearance of 2023, the Princess chose green again! For the Ladies’ Finals she wore a zesty lime coloured dress by Self-Portrait.
The Princess watched Marketa Vondrousova make history as the first ever unseeded Wimbledon Ladies’ Singles Champion, before presenting her with a trophy.
The princess accessorised her 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.
2023 – Mint Green Balmain Blazer and White Pleated Skirt
Kate made her Wimbledon debut of 2023 in a mint green double-breasted blazer from Balmain, paired with a white pleated maxi skirt. I suspect the blazer, an unexpected choice, was a nod to Wimbledon’s official brand colours. The Princess paired the ensemble with her Gianvito Rossi 105 pumps in white leather.
She accessorised with her Shyla London Chunky Knot Baroque Pearl Earrings and her Mulberry Amberley handbag in white leather.
Despite the London rain, Kate’s spirits remained high as she watched several matches and met with celebrated professional tennis player Emma Raducanu.
2022 — Alessandra Rich Polka Dot Dress in Navy
Kate attended the men’s finals wearing a navy blue polka dot dress by her go-to designer, Alessandra Rich.
She paired the dress with her two-tone slingback pumps—also by Alessandra Rich and her mystery sapphire and diamond jewellery. We wore her Bvlgari cat-eye sunglasses for the second day running.
2022 — Roksanda Brigitte Dress in Yellow
Kate attended the women’s finals wearing a sunshine yellow dress by Roksanda—the Brigitte. First seen in Jamaica, during the Platinum Jubilee Tour earlier in the year.
She paired the dress with her white Gianvito Rossi pumps and her Kiki McDonough Eden Citrine Earrings. She brought back her Bvlgari cat-eye sunglasses and debuted a new sun hat by L.K. Bennett.
2022 – Alessandra Rich Polka Dot Dress in Azure Blue
Kate made her Wimbledon debut on day nine of The Championships in 2022. She opted for her azure blue polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich‚ first seen at the Big Lunch during the Jubilee weekend.
Kate carried her Mulberry Amberley handbag in white, wore her In2Design Pearl Earrings, her Finlay &. Co. Henrietta Sunglasses and finished the look with a pair of Alessandra Rich Slingback Pumps in White with a Black Toe.
2021 – Beulah London Ahana Dress in Pink
Kate watched Novak Djokovic defeat Matteo Berrettini in the men’s final for her third and final Wimbledon appearance of 2021. She took in the action on Centre Court wearing a pastel pink dress by Beulah London. It was the Ahana style.
Kate accessorised with her Josef vintage beaded clutch, her Mappin & Webb Empress Earrings, her Aldo Nicholes Block Heeled Pumps and her Ray-Ban Chris Sunglasses.
2021 – Emilia Wickstead Denver Dress in Green
Kate attended the ladies’ finals in 2021 wearing a green Emilia Wickstead dress—known as the Denver style. Kate had the designer add cap sleeves.
She accessorised with a pair of white Jimmy Choo pumps (the Romy 85 style) and a bangle by Halcyon Days. Finally, Kate added a little bling to her outfit with a pair of Green Tourmaline and Green Amethyst Diamond Earrings by her favourite jeweller, Kiki McDonough.
The match marked Kate’s first public appearance following a period of self-isolation—the then-Duchess had to follow government guidelines and stay home following contact with somebody who had tested positive for COVID-19.
She stepped foot onto Centre Court to present the winner, Ashleigh Barty, with her trophy.
2020 – HVN Maria Dress in Green with Tennis Print
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 chose a green shirt dress by HVN. A festive choice—it was decorated with a tennis-themed print. I’m banking on seeing this dress again at a Tennis-themed engagement in the future. In the video, you can see she wore her Monica Vinader Siren earrings in green onyx.
2019 – Bespoke Version of D&G’s Georgette Crepe Midi Dress in Green
Kate attended her second match of the year with her sister Pippa and sister-in-law Meghan. The three women watched Simona Halep defeat Serena Williams in the ladies’ final.
Kate chose a green mid-length dress by Dolce & Gabanna, another tour re-wear. 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. After Kate wore the green dress, the company released a plain version with the clock removed.
At Wimbledon, Kate accessorised with her Asprey London Gold Oak Leaf Hoops, her Rupert Sanderson Malory pumps in nude, her Dolce & Gabbana Sicily Bag and her Ray-Ban Wayfarer II sunglasses.
2018 – Jenny Packham Dress with White/Black Polka Dot ‘Tennis Ball’ Print
In 2018, Kate attended Wimbledon with sister-in-law Meghan for the first time. The two women watched Meghan’s friend Serena Williams play in the ladies’ finals. It was also the first time the pair made a public appearance without their husbands.
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 debuted her Dolce & Gabbana Sicily Bag. She accessorised with a pair of nude suede Gianvito Rossi Pumps and her In2Design Baroque Pearl Drop Earrings and finished the look with her Ray-Ban Chris Sunglasses.
2016 – McQueen Talisman Obsession Dress in Cream/Multicoloured Print
Kate wore the Alexander McQueen Obsession Talisman dress to watch Andy Murray play Milos Raonic in the 2016 men’s final.
This is probably the most quirky design we’ve seen Kate wear to date—the garment was decorated with a unique display of motifs—moths, flowers, eyes, crystals, marbles, skulls and more.
Kate paired the ivory silk dress with a pair of gold earrings from Brora (still available in 2022, here), her 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.)
2016 – Roksanda Ryedale Dress in Yellow
Kate attended the women’s semi-finals for the first time in 2016.
It was also the first time she conducted a meet and greet with tournament officials, service personnel, ball boys/girls and other notable people ahead of the match.
We were not surprised to see Kate don another tour dress for the occasion! She chose the Roksanda Ryedale dress in yellow/white (pictured above in the opposite colourway). We first spotted her wearing the garment in Sydney in 2014.
Kate paired 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 – L.K. Bennett Cayla Dress in Red
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. The colour was a departure from the norm too—Kate had worn mostly white and cream up until this point. She’d purchased the red short-sleeved dress from L.K. Bennett (it was the Cayla style).
Kate carried her leopard print Diane Von Furstenburg 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 donned her Ray-Ban Wayfarer Folding Sunglasses during the sunnier moments of the match.
2013 – N/A
Kate did not attend Wimbledon in 2013, as she was nearing the end of her first pregnancy. In an interview for Our Wimbledon, a 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 – Alexander McQueen Sailor Style Dress in Cream
In 2012, Kate attended Wimbledon twice. For her first appearance of the year, on day nine of the tournament, she watched the gentlemen’s singles quarterfinals.
She re-wore a cream sailor-inspired dress designed by Alexander McQueen‘s Sarah Burton. She first wore the cable-knit garment during a visit to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada during the 2011 tour.
At Wimbledon, Kate paired the dress with her mystery blue sapphire earrings and her blue ‘Kate’ bag by Jaeger and her blue suede Alexander McQueen pumps.
2011 – Temperley London Moriah Sleeveless Dress in White
Kate attended Wimbledon once in 2011. A couple of months after marrying Prince William, the then-Duchess watched Andy Murray play Richard Gasquet 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 Moraiah dress. It featured three tiers of pleated ruffles and shoulder straps with a unique circular cutout design on the straps.
Kate paired the white tiered dress with her now-iconic L.K. Bennett Sledge Pumps, her Stuart Weitzman Muse Clutch, her mystery sapphire earrings and her gold ‘C’ charm bracelet, which we think was a gift from Camilla. She also carried a brown jacket, which we didn’t manage to get a good look at.
