The best dressed guests at Wimbledon and how to get the look on a budget
WIMBLEDON is well underway, and celebrities, as well as members of the royal family, are flocking to sit courtside to watch the annual championships.
Kate Middleton has floored us with her stunning mint green blazer, which appears to be a trend already, but there are other looks that have caught our eye.
Wimbledon is a glamorous affair, and while it may not be as strict a dress code as the recent Royal Ascot in June, it does see guests come from far and wide, to slip into their finery, and cheer on their favourites.
This year’s looks focus on white (of course!), paired with pastel hues, and blazers, muted browns, as well as monochrome.
We’ve also spotted many eclectic prints, bold colours, as well as dresses of every length and sleeve type, to jumpsuits and playsuits, suits as well as co-ords and shorts with a chic top.
So it’s safe to say no outfit is out of bounds at Wimbledon.
Whether you are looking for fashion tips on or off the court, Wimbledon is the place to get inspired.
We have sifted through the celebrity guests in attendance, and assessed their looks, to bring you the best looks you can replicate this summer.
From Katy Perry and Mollie King’s monochrome looks, Pixie Lott’s playsuit to Emma’s smart casual look, here are our style icons and takeaways from the sporting event.
Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton took us back to the 80s, as she wore a Balmain mint blazer with epic shoulder pads and double-breasted detailing down the front to support Katie Boulter.
The Princess of Wales completed the look with a midi-length white pleated skirt, which was a definite nod to the iconic tennis skirt, just longer in length, and white Gianvito Rossi heels.
Heading to designer brands to recreate the look may set you back a pretty penny, but we have found stylish alternatives to recreate the look.

- TEERFU Womens Ladies Summer Boho Pleated Skirt, £15.90 from Amazon – buy here
Mollie King
Mollie King is another major trendsetter, and she strikes again at this year’s Wimbledon.
The Saturdays band member, and radio presenter, slipped into a chic cream Gabriela Heart Luz midi dress, which featured black detail down the centre, along the waist and down the v-plunge neckline.
She paired the look with monochrome vintage Chanel shoes, and a dainty cross-body bag to finish the look.
The dress previously retailed for £2,359, though it has been reduced to £1,651 on MyTheresa.
But for those wanting to shave off a couple of hundred pounds, we have found a similar design you will love.

Pixie Lott
Pixie Lott attended day one of the Wimbledon championships with their husband Oliver Cheshire.
In a classic Pixie Lott look, she showed up to the Evian suite wearing a navy blue tweed playsuit, which boasted a zip front fastening, collar detail, and a miniature pocket on the bust.
She accessorised with a beaded handbag and pink strappy Sophia Webster sandals – we’re obsessed.
Her Sandro playsuit previously retailed for £315 before it was reduced in the sale, though it has since sold out at select stockists, of course, we are on the lookout for a cheaper alternative our bank balance will thank us for it.
- V-neck belted playsuit, £48 (Was £79) from COS – buy here
Emma Raducanu
Emma has opted out of this year’s Wimbledon championships, but that doesn’t stop her from supporting fellow tennis professionals.
She opted for a casual, yet chic, all-blue ensemble as she watched from the Evian VIP suite.
She paired a v-neck navy blue top, with pale blue and white stripe shorts, as well as blue and white Nike dunks, which retail at around £100 mark.
But you can recreate the preppy look.
- Nike Dunk Low Blue and White, £99.95 from Sole – buy here
- Light Blue Pinstripe Woven Elastic Waist Floaty Shorts , £15 from PLT – buy here
Katy Perry
Katy Perry is usually known for making a bold statement with her fashion choices – remember the time she dressed up as a giant burger?
But we were pleasantly surprised to see a more demure look from the ‘Firework’ singer on day three of Wimbledon.
The singer opted for a fifties-inspired look as she wore a Bardot long-sleeve top, white midi A-line skirt, heels and a polka dot neckerchief to the tennis tournament.
Super chic, feminine and we love it.

- Polka Dot Scarf, £4.20 (Was £14) from Accessorize – buy here
- Linen-Blend High-Slit Maxi Skirt, £60 from Abercrombie & Fitch – buy here
Rochelle Humes
Rochelle Humes has been on our fashion radar for a few years now.
Whether she is wearing high street or high-end, we want every single look, accessory, footwear, and beauty product she swears by.
Rochelle has made a case for muted neutral palettes once again, as she sported a full brown suit complete with an oversize blazer – we spot another trend there – and wide-leg trousers to watch Wimbledon with husband Marvin Humes.
The entire set is from Rochelle’s collection with Next, so we can shop the exact look.
