Princess Kate's fashion choices at Wimbledon have been nothing short of spectacular, making her a standout presence at the prestigious tennis tournament, year after year.
Her outfits often feature timeless pieces, such as tailored dresses and chic ensembles, complemented by carefully chosen accessories that highlight her natural grace.
Princess Kate's Wimbledon wardrobe not only honours the event's traditional dress code but also sets new standards for royal fashion, capturing the admiration of fans and fashion critics alike.
The Wimbledon 2024 final is fast approaching this weekend, and the Princess of Wales's appearance is still up in the air because she is continuing with her cancer treatment and focusing on recovery. It's understood a decision will be made on the day as to whether Princess Kate will attend - and should the royal be unable to go, a plan B will be orchestrated, reports say.
The organisers have previously said that they would give the Princess of Wales "as much flexibility as possible" in determining whether she is able to fulfil her ceremonial duties, meaning a decision should not be expected to be made until the morning of the women's final on Saturday, July 13.
Kate took over from the late Queen Elizabeth II as patron of the All England Club in 2016, and has regularly presented the trophies on Centre Court.

Princess Kate wore different shades of green to the matches at Wimbledon in 2023, and for the men's final she wore a chic ruffled green midi dress from one of her most-loved French designers, Roland Mouret. Her dress was an apt choice for the fashionable sporting affair, complete with a ruffle-accent neckline and rich green hue. The mother-of-three, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club styled her glossy brunette tresses in voluminous curls, adding a golden bronzer and rosy blush. She attended the final alongside Prince William, and two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Kate always delivers a fresh new look whenever she attends Wimbledon and in 2022, she opted for a stunning blue and white polka dress by designer, Alessandra Rich. The 1980s-esque dress featured ornamental buttons, subtle puff sleeves and pleating, cinched together at the waist by a matching belt. Princess Kate accessorised the midi dress with pearl drop earrings, a white top handle bag and slingbacks featuring a contrasting toe. To finish off the outfit, the royal repped her signature wavy blowdry and a pink strawberry-toned lip.

Wearing a light pink belted dress by London designer Beulah and nude pumps in 2021, Princess Kate attended Wimbledon with her father, Michael Middleton. She accessorised her cute pink Ahana dress with florals, carrying a beaded floral clutch and even wearing a pink floral face mask, when she was walking around the grounds, which she removed once seated in the Royal Box. The dress was crafted from blush-hued wool crepe and shaped to a fit-and-flare silhouette. It had a short stand neckline, cropped sleeves, and a flowy skirt that is belted at the waist for a figure-defining fit.
