Every dress Kate Middleton has worn at Wimbledon over the years
Kate Middleton’s Wimbledon
When it comes to Wimbledon attire, Kate Middleton always triumphs.
The duchess frequently attends the yearly tennis competition as the royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), taking over from Queen Elizabeth in 2016.
With the exception of 2013, when she was expecting Prince George, and 2020, when the COVID pandemic forced the event’s first cancellation since World War II, she has actually attended the championships every year since her wedding to Prince William in 2011.
The duchess now favors longer, fuller skirts as well as more colorful and patterned dresses, like the polka-dotted Alessandra Rich dress she wore for her first appearance at the 2022 event. Middleton is still known to rock her tennis whites at Wimbledon, but her look has evolved since the early days of her marriage.
Here, we examine every Wimbledon appearance the Duchess of Cambridge has ever made.
For her first Wimbledon appearance, Middleton sported a flirtatious Temperley London gown.
In June 2011, the newlywed duchess made her maiden Wimbledon visit as a member of the royal family while donning a tiered white dress by Temperley London that was heavily tennis-inspired.
While Middleton rarely wears sleeveless clothing, she did so to see Andy Murray play Richard Gasquet, appearing cool and relaxed on the hot July day.
A suitable option for her royal Wimbledon debut, the dress featured fascinating petal embellishment at the shoulders and back and tennis skirt-style pleating.
She took a brown coat in case the British weather changed, along with a purse with a tan snakeskin print, for the occasion.
In order to attend Wimbledon in 2012, Middleton reused a knit dress she wore to Prince Edward Island in Canada in 2011.

The Duchess of Cambridge attended Wimbledon twice in 2012. She joined Prince William for the men’s quarterfinal match in the same knit sailor-style Alexander McQueen outfit she wore on the couple’s 2011 tour of Canada.
The cream sweater dress was ideal for a sporty day out because it had blue stripes at the waist and cuffs and a jaunty tie neck. She accessorized with navy quilted clutch by Jaeger and diamond and sapphire earrings.
