Catherine's love for Wimbledon is well-documented. She has been a fixture at the tournament almost every year, missing only 2013 due to her pregnancy with Prince George and 2020 when the event was canceled due to the COVID pandemic. Her attendance is not just about enjoying the sport but also about setting fashion trends. Last year was no different as she stunned everyone with an ensemble that perfectly blended elegance and modernity.
Stepping onto the courtside, Catherine was a vision in a pastel green double-breasted blazer by Balmain. The blazer featured crisp white paneling on the collar and statement buttons, adding a structured feel to her outfit. To soften the look and introduce a touch of femininity, she paired the blazer with a gorgeous white pleated maxi skirt. The combination was both refreshing and sophisticated, embodying a timeless elegance that has become synonymous with Catherine's style.
Her choice of accessories was equally impeccable. Catherine walked tall in a pair of matching white court heels and carried her white Amberley crossbody by Mulberry. The coordinated look was not only chic but also practical, showcasing how to achieve a polished appearance with minimal effort. Her decision to wear white, typically avoided for weddings, proved that the right ensemble could break tradition, fashion rules, and still look stunning.

Caroline Parr, digital fashion editor, praised Catherine's choice, stating, "For an occasion like Wimbledon, often our instinct is to opt for a dress or jumpsuit, but Catherine is showing us how separates can be. The mint green color of this jacket is so pretty and makes for a refreshing twist on Wimbledon whites. It would look great with tailored trousers and even jeans too, proving that a good blazer will really work hard in your wardrobe."
This appearance follows a string of memorable looks from previous Wimbledons. In 2022, Catherine dazzled in a vibrant Roksanda dress for the women's singles final. The same dress had made headlines during her tour of the Caribbean with Prince William. This bespoke version of the Bridget dress featured a full skirt, fitted bodice, short sleeves, and an elaborate fabric bow, embodying a blend of classic and contemporary styles. She complimented the outfit with Gianvito Rossi heels and Kiki McDonough citrine and diamond flower drop earrings.

The 2022 Wimbledon also marked a significant moment when Catherine and William brought Prince George to his first match. Catherine wore a polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich, a silk creation featuring a classic spot print set against a navy backdrop with a bow embellishment at the neckline. She accessorized with two-tone pumps, a sapphire and diamond parure, and a Mulberry bag.
Earlier in 2022, Catherine attended Wimbledon with William, opting for a repeated sky-blue Alessandra Rich dress initially worn during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The dress featured a belted waist, puffed sleeves, and knife pleats, showcasing Catherine's knack for recycling and restyling outfits to create fresh looks.
In 2021, Catherine debuted her blush Beulah London Ahana dress at Wimbledon, attending two finals with her father Michael. This dress, from a brand favored by royals, had previously been seen on Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. Catherine paired the flattering fit-and-flare style with Aldo shoes, a Hobbs clutch, and sparkling diamond earrings by Mappin & Webb.
Catherine's appearances at Wimbledon over the years have not only thrilled fans but also solidified her status as a fashion icon. Her ability to effortlessly blend elegance with modern trends continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide. As we look forward to future appearances, one thing is certain: Catherine will always ace it at Wimbledon, both on and off the court.
