There are few settings that showcase Princess Catherine’s timeless elegance and signature style quite like the historic lawns of Wimbledon. As summer peaks and tennis fever takes hold in southwest London, the Princess of Wales once again claims her unofficial crown as the queen of Centre Court fashion.
From her poised presence in the royal box to her animated reactions during tense rallies, Catherine doesn’t just attend Wimbledon—she brings it to life. A lifelong tennis enthusiast and patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, she has turned the iconic tournament into her own runway, blending tradition and modernity with remarkable finesse.
This year, the Princess captivated in a tailored, white shirtdress by Suzannah London—a masterclass in refined summer style. Crafted from Italian silk crepe, the midi-length piece featured elegant pintucks along the bodice and waist, half sleeves with button cuffs, and delicate silk-covered buttons. Cinched at the waist with a sleek black Alexander McQueen belt, the £1,850 dress embodied quiet luxury and timeless British design.
Her carefully chosen accessories completed the look: a structured Alexander McQueen woven box bag, classic Ray-Ban sunglasses to hold back her glossy waves, and her favorite Piper 85 suede pumps. As always, Catherine’s fashion choices turned heads—but it’s her genuine passion for tennis that makes her appearances so memorable.
Wimbledon stands apart from other royal events in that it allows Catherine to express unfiltered joy—cheering enthusiastically, reacting with visible emotion, and fully embracing the role of a fan. These authentic moments, paired with her impeccable style, have cemented her legacy at the tournament.
Over the years, Catherine has made Wimbledon her fashion playground, often choosing bold, vibrant ensembles—like structured Emilia Wickstead outfits, striking Roksanda dresses, and the beloved Alessandra Rich polka dots. But when she opts for simplicity, as she did this year in white, the effect is just as powerful.
This year’s appearance also carries emotional significance. In the summer of 2024, Catherine made a triumphant return to Centre Court after undergoing cancer treatment. Greeted with a standing ovation, she wore a regal purple Safiyaa dress with a ruched bodice, capped sleeves, and a flowing A-line skirt—her radiant smile and resilience moved the crowd deeply.
That day, she carried her go-to nude LK Bennett Millie clutch, last seen in 2021 during a joint engagement with First Lady Jill Biden. With her voluminous curls, glowing skin, and a fresh set of chunky gold hoops and bangles in place of her usual pearls, Catherine embodied strength, elegance, and renewed vitality.
As the 2025 Wimbledon championships unfold, one thing is clear: Princess Catherine remains the unrivaled style star of the tournament. Yet it’s not just her fashion that captures hearts—it’s her warmth, grace, and authenticity. In an age where image often overshadows meaning, Catherine manages to embody both with effortless charm.
