13 min readThe latest Wimbledon fashion outfits are as watchable as the tournament itself. From the super chic and discreet to colorful ensembles, we’ve rounded up the best celebrity Wimbledon outfits and found you plenty of exact matches – so you can get the look too.
Wimbledon fashion is governed by far fewer rules than say race day attire, which means that when it comes to Wimbledon outfits, we feel like we get a better feel for the attending celebrity’s personal style. This season has had plenty of VIP visitors and the royal box has been bustling with guests – including tennis fan Kate Middleton.
When it comes to deciding what to wear to Wimbledon, it’s wise for attendees to remember the structure of the day and how much waiting and sitting there can be. In true British style, there can also be several weather seasons in one afternoon – meaning integrating layering pieces into your Wimbledon look will certainly be a smart idea. With hats generally frowned upon and a preference for smart clothing, this season’s celebrity Wimbledon outfits are packed full of summer sartorial elegance. From the best dresses to tailored cover-ups, their looks can easily become your blueprint for chic summer style.

When it comes to Wimbledon fashion, there are few as anticipated as the Duchess of Cambridge. A big tennis fan, we’re sure Kate is there for the thrill of the sport. We however have our eyes peeled for the latest Kate Middleton dresses, in the hope of adding them to our wardrobe stat. An expert at occasion dressing, the Duchess always hits the mark and looks effortless in the process.

Polka dots are always a big trend come the summer months and the fashion trends 2022 are no different. With Kate’s dress now unsurprisingly sold out, we’ve found a great dupe – at a fraction of the price. British clothing brand, Marks and Spencer is well-loved for creating some of the best midi dresses and this pretty blue and white polka dot iteration features a flattering button-front design and directional puffed sleeves.

If you’ve ever wondered what boho style is, Sienna Miller pretty much embodies this vibe, with the bohemian feel being somewhat of a signature look for the star. Stunning in American clothing brand, Ralph Lauren, Sienna opted for an appropriate white frock for her Wimbledon outfit this season. Outfitting the ball people, line umpires and chair umpires for The Championships at Wimbledon, Ralph Lauren is intrinsically linked to Wimbledon fashion, dressing numerous celebrities for the occasion.
Wearing white is a rule for the players, but as it’s seen as the color of Wimbledon, many spectators opt for white outfits too. To set herself apart from those on the court, Sienna’s frothy attire featured a shoulder-baring silhouette and a waist-cinching leather belt, that gave a nod to the actor’s classic boho style. Paired with tortoiseshell sunnies – one of the biggest sunglasses trends 2022 and snakeskin heels, Sienna’s look is one of our favorite celebrity Wimbledon outfits of the season.

Giving a nod to the trends of the season, Rochelle’s dress featured cheeky cut-out detailing, subtly showing off some skin whilst the halter neckline elongated Rochelle’s frame.

Continuing its run on Wimbledon fashion, Ralph Lauren was spotted on Zara Tindall too. Acing the dress code with this white linen number from the brand’s Polo collection, Zara styled it with classic espadrille wedges and a crossbody bag.
An espadrille is a summer wardrobe essential and like many of the best sandals, a style you can rely on year after year. Such a classic, Zara wore the same shoes to last year’s Championships styled with a different but equally lovely shirt dress, nailing the Wimbledon fashion aesthetic. Attending this year’s event with husband Mike Tindall, the pair’s subtle nods of color coordination don’t go amiss.
Zara’s exact dress has nearly sold out (it’s available on the Ralph Laurent website (opens in new tab) in limited sizing) so we’ve found the below alternative from one of the best Spanish clothing brands, Mango as a backup.

A silk coord – featuring a printed shirt and matching wide-leg trousers, Gugu tucked in the blouse to highlight her waist. Finishing the outfit with a white crochet bag for a pop of brightness, this is Wimbledon fashion at its finest. Matching sets like this are a fantastic investment due to their versatility.

Holly Willoughby’s outfits are much sought after, so we knew that when it came to celebrity Wimbledon outfits, hers would be one to take note of.
Made by Turkish designer Gul Hurgel, the 1950s silhouette is particularly flattering on Holly’s hourglass frame. With an A-line silhouette, open back and wide collar, this pretty printed midi dress is one of the best pink dresses this season.
With changeable weather the norm during Wimbledon, Holly smartly styled her frock with a white cropped cardigan, a sweet layering piece, that sat perfectly with the waist-cinching frock. If you’re looking at wearing a similar ’50s style dress, then cropped jackets and knits are ideal for highlighting your curves and the cut of the dress. To complete Holly’s Wimbledon fashion triumph, whip out your best wicker bag and best designer sunglasses to finish the look.

RRP: $895 / £750 | Sizes: XS-XL | With a vintage feel, this stylish dress is ideal for highlighting hourglass body shapes.

With a timeless floral print, this dress is one that can be reinvented throughout the summer for multiple occasions.

Never one to disappoint, Amanda was one of several Wimbledon celebrity attendees who drew inspiration for her look from the sport itself. Attending with look-alike daughter Lexi, the pair coordinated their outfits with a green and white theme.
The shirt dress has been a favorite this season when it comes to some of Wimbledon’s most stylish looks and Amanda embraced the look with gusto. In a playful mini-dress, Amanda finished her outfit with a bag in the shape of a tennis ball. The quirky bag, by American brand, Kate Spade is now sold out, however, we have found a great replica if you’d like to replicate the style.

10. Nicola Coughlan

A trench coat is not typically associated with Wimbledon fashion, but Nicola Coughlan has us falling in love with this classic piece all over again. Becoming something of a style icon, Nicola has been acing the red carpet in recent months.
Opting for a waist-cinching trench coat, Nicola looks stylishly relaxed with rolled-up sleeves and her hair swept off her shoulders. This versatile piece is reversible, with Nicola opting for the statement print layer, keeping the khaki hue for another day.
Wearing the trench as a dress, Nicola negated the need for waterproof layering – as her Wimbledon outfit would protect her from any sudden downpours. If you’re looking to experiment with coats as dresses, you might want to try a slip dress underneath, in case you get too warm.

Ralph Lauren Reversible Coat
RRP: $698 / £649 | Sizes: XXS-XXL | A classic outerwear piece, we love this trench coat that delivers two wears in one. A reversible style, go bold with the checked print, or keep it classic with the neutral taupe hue for a more discreet and timeless wear.

Free People Gwen Platform Mary Janes
RRP: $168 / £148 | Sizes: US: 6-11 / UK: 3-8 | Giving a nod to the shoe trends 2022 – with their Mary Jane-inspired silhouette, these chunky platforms have a cushioned insole for long-lasting comfort and also feature a life-extending rubber outsole.

Accessories were the star of the show in Trinny Woodall’s look, with her glitzy sunnies and cream Prada bag adding to the cohesiveness of her style. Her lace maxi dress is by Australian clothing brand Zimmermann (opens in new tab), and though this exact style is currently out of stock, the brand carries several similar pieces that will hit the mark. Keeping it practical, Trinny opted for her best white trainers to finish off the look.
Clearly a seasoned Wimbledon goer, Trinny knows that the weather can be changeable and opted to drape a cream coat on top of her highly summery outfit. While the outerwear is quite wintery, the lighter hue gives it a warm-weather finish.
Completing her look, Trinny opted for a streamlined sunhat that wouldn’t disrupt the views of her fellow attendees and ensured she could take on the midday sun with some on-trend rounded sunglasses.

La Redoute Long Coat in Wool Mix
RRP: $160 / £140 | Sizes: US: 2-18 / UK: 6-22 | Weather during Wimbledon can be somewhat unpredictable, so make sure you have layers. Trinny uses this cream-hued winter coat for added warmth, which doesn’t come across as too heavy thanks to the bright creamy hue.
Celine Hat in Wide-Brimmed Straw
RRP: $930 / £640 | There is mixed thoughts when it comes to hats at Wimbledon. While sun protection is much needed on bright days, make sure that your choice of headwear won’t disrupt other spectator’s view. With that said, this Celine straw design is incredibly chic and on-trend.
