Kate Middleton channeled serious summer energy in a fresh white, tiered dress at her first Wimbledon as a royal family member back in 2011. 


Kate Middleton has aced it with her Wimbledon looks over the years, from her ultra preppy outfit from the 2012 tournament to her clean white linen dress in 2019, the Princess of Wales never fails to nail courtside chic. 

And with Wimbledon 2023 off to a start, we can't help but look back with heart eyes at the perfect hot day dress Kate wore to her first Wimbledon as a royal in 2011, just months after she tied the knot with Prince William at Westminster Abbey in April.

Sitting in the Royal Box alongside her new husband Prince William to watch Andy Murray play France’s Richard Gasquet on day seven of the tournament, Catherine served the perfect Wimbledon look in the three-tiered pleated summer frock.

The timeless warm weather number also featured a metal zip back and shoulder straps with an overlapping petal detail.

As for jewelry, Catherine wore her sapphire and diamond engagement ring previously worn by Princess Diana, along with sapphire and diamond earrings inspired by the iconic royal ring. 

Tennis lover Kate also accessorized with a gold charm bracelet thought to be gifted to her by Queen Camilla, featuring both of the pair's cyphers.

Flash forward to Kate's first appearance at Wimbledon 2023 and Kate stepped out in mint a mint green Balmain blazer, featuring white collar and button detailing. 

The Princess of Wales teamed the $2,750 (£1,950) Double-Breasted Teo-Tone Crepe Blazer with Gianvito Rossi white heeled pumps and a long, pleated white dress, seemingly taking style inspiration from Princess Diana

Stepping out in the drizzly London weather, Kate carried her go-to Mulberry Amberley White Grain Leather Crossbody. 

Her jewelry choice was an affordable one, with the future Queen Consort opting for her Shyla Chunky Knot Baroque Pearl Earrings which are priced at $91 (£72).
