This summer, especially compared to any other, is the season of sports. But between the hat trick of athletic performances dominating the cultural zeitgeist—F1! FIFA World Cup! NBA Championship!—Wimbledon remains the crown jewel event.
For a fortnight, the usually quiet neighbourhood in South West London gets taken over by the most stylish spectators about. Washed in pristine whites, soft blues and perhaps the odd chartreuse ensemble—as a nod to the colour of tennis balls, of course—the annual championship serves as the pinnacle of sportif excellence.
Since tickets are hard to come by at the best of times, let alone if you’re one of the odd tens of thousands who queue for on-the-day entry to the grounds, those who make the pilgrimage to the All England Lawn Tennis Club ensure their ensembles are polished as Serena Williams’ signature power serve.

Indeed, with the courtside seats being such a hallowed and covetable item, the fashion of those in attendance must reflect the heritage and customs of this Great British institution. Whilst Wimbledon does not have an official dress code, there is one that is self-imposed, mainly reflecting the posh legacy and strict tradition of the sport itself. Still, no one does this better than the members of the celebrity style set who flock to Centre Court each July.
It’s not hyperbolic to describe Wimbledon as the world’s oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament, and the starry audience certainly reflects this status. Kate Middleton! Margot Robbie! Zendaya! Though they match the drive and determination exhibited in each set in their own respective fields, they also share a devotion to making the off-court proceedings as sartorially interesting as the ones on it.
Nowadays, they have to compete with the players themselves for the title of best dressed, including Coco Gauff’s Miu Miu x New Balance kit and Aryna Sabalenka’s insane Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection. However, they have the upper hand in being able to push the boundaries of the de facto uniform, whether it be Charli XCX showing up in a vampy lace mini or Sabrina Elba wafting through the arena in balmy summer essentials.
Regardless of whether you’ll actually be watching the Grand Slam itself, these iconic looks are certainly an ace. Without further ado, discover the best celebrity Wimbledon outfits of all time, ahead.
The 11 Best Celebrity Wimbledon Outfits of All Time1. Olivia Rodrigo

Style Notes: Olivia Rodrigo always had guts when it comes to her personal style, whether it be performing on stage in punk-esque babydoll dresses and combat boots or wearing the iconic Shalom Harlow look from Todd Oldham’s spring/summer 1995 collection to celebrate the release of her sophomore album. For her debut outing at Wimbledon, the singer-songwriter continued her reign of vintage in a red-and-white gingham Ralph Lauren dress that dates back to the spring/summer 2000 season. For the uninitiated, Ralph Lauren is the official Wimbledon outfitter, so her decision to eschew new season styles from something with fashion credo certainly feels true to her personal style.

2. Zendaya

Style Notes: For her performance in Luca Guadagnino’s feisty sports drama Challengers, Zendaya took method dressing to the next level by cropping up in the stands of famous tennis championships to promote the film. In addition to the red carpet, the actress attended Wimbledon in 2024 in full spectator regalia. Once again proving how synonymous Ralph Lauren is with the championship, she wore a crisp white blazer, elongated white maxi skirt, seersucker striped shirt and a tie. Earlier that week, she wore the same tie and shirt in a more relaxed manner, loosening it around her neck and styling these conventional menswear staples with a chevron-stripe blazer and black trousers. She is a style chameleon, after all.

Style Notes: Margot Robbie, despite her Australian pedigree, has made herself a home away from home here in the United Kingdom. (Who can forget the stories from her share house days in Clapham?) So, it should come as no surprise that she looked the part for her first Wimbledon appearance in 2024. Wearing a polka-dot, cape-style dress from Alaia, the look was not only memorable for the way she subverted a classic motif into something far more contemporary, but it also marked her first outing since announcing her pregnancy. With a luxury maternity wardrobe, she made the men’s singles semi-finals a more high-fashion affair, courtesy of this totally important designer.

4. Charli XCX

Style Notes: Charli XCX’s contributions to fashion are insurmountable, but if we were to list a few, we’d have to mention her revival of the strappy white top, the advent of incredibly little leather shorts and, of course, the popularity of the lurid shade of Brat green. However, we’d contend that this all-black outfit is one of her more vital additions to fashion’s canon. Any seasoned fashion editor would tell you, wearing this dark hue during summer’s blistering heat is not for the faint of heart. But given this is the dark princess of pop that we’re discussing here, we can’t think of anything more apt.

5. Alexa Chung

Style Notes: Alexa Chung’s style evolution can be traced through her Wimbledon appearances, from her Jane Birkin-meets-Wendy Darling early days to her Debbie Harry-meets-Betty Catroux approach to fashion now. The latter—in all its insouciant and effortlessly cool glory—is best exemplified by the look she wore in 2023. Eschewing the desire to dress up or go all out for this main event, Chung preserved her individuality and devotion to elevated wardrobe essentials by ditching the frock and opting for a pair of stovepipe jeans, a beige button-down and a purple jumper, which she styled around her neck like a scarf.

6. Kate Middleton

Style Notes: Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is as much of a Wimbledon mainstay as a pint of Pimms or a saccharine punnet of strawberries and cream. As the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, not only is she a regular fixture in the royal box, but she also has the honour of presenting trophies to the men’s and women’s winners. As a result, her looks are always more heightened and considered compared to her contemporaries. Whilst there’s a flurry of gorgeous Jenny Peckham, Alessandra Rich and Emilia Wickstead silhouettes to choose from, her most notable has to be this royal purple dress from Safiyaa. Worn in 2024, the look marked one of her first official appearances following her cancer diagnosis and was rendered in a colour that has always been tied to monarchs, symbolically honouring her own contributions to regal fashion over the years.

7. Princess Diana

Style Notes: Princess Diana made close to ten Wimbledon appearances throughout the course of her life, so it’s by no means an easy feat to whittle the list down to just the one, momentous look. We’ve chosen this one because of how enduring it is. From the butter yellow colour way to the Chanel earrings and gilded bracelet, this ensemble has become the paragon for Wimbledon dressing, serving as the prime example of balancing ease and elegance whilst courtside.

8. Olivia Dean

Style Notes: Olivia Dean might croon on her sophomore album, The Art of Loving, that it’s so easy to fall in love with her. And wearing this heavenly, button yellow dress to Wimbledon in 2025, we couldn’t help but agree. A London girl through and through, she opted for a piece from independently-owned and locally-based Aym Studios. Pairing it with a sumptuous suede bag and white slingbacks, who would’ve thought that this moment would sit alongside custom Chanel and Burberry in her Pantheon of iconic looks?

9. Emma Corrin

Style Notes: Emma Corrin has one of the most experimental and avant-garde approaches to fashion, with her wardrobe brimming with unique pieces, historical references and a penchant for playing pretend. Here, the actor is clearly taking cues from their character in The Crown and channelling the daisy hues sported by Princess Diana during her tenure at Wimbledon. To make the look more their own, Corrin opted for an oversized, boxy suit, brogues and Miu Miu’s Arcadie bag.

In a wafty, white tank top, loose and fluid linen trousers and black strappy sandals—not to mention The Row bag she has tucked under her arms—the model-turned-mogul proved pomp and show need not be a compulsory part of the Wimbledon dress code.

Style Notes: Summer in London always feels like the summer of love, and nowhere is this more apparent than at Wimbledon. You’ll often see couples in the stands, sharing a punnet of strawberries and creams and barracking for one of the world’s best pros. In 2025, Oscar nominees Monica Barbaro and Andrew Garfield did exactly that, wearing matching all-white ensembles from Ralph Lauren. Honestly, we’re unsure which outfit we love more.
