Like any quintessential great British event (Glasto, the Chelsea Flower Show), Brit It-girls have long served courtside style at Wimbledon. Last summer, Sienna Miller’s gave boho festival favourites a polished Wimbledon twist with a white maxi skirt, crochet detailing and a Western-inspired belt. Margot Robbie, meanwhile, put a spin on tennis whites, opting for an elegant asymmetric polka-dot dress during the tournament.
Breezy summer staples have also remained a fixture in the Wimbledon wardrobe over the years. Sabrina Elba and Alexa Chung have both championed breezy linen co-ords to crisp cotton shirting. In 2024, Chung styled hers with a purple cable-knit jumper casually draped over her shoulders for full-blown preppy appeal. For those drawn to a more ladylike aesthetic, look no further than the Princess of Wales, whose collection of courtside tea dresses continues to inspire a more refined approach to Wimbledon dressing.
Ralph Lauren doesn’t just kit out the on-court uniforms, as the preppy, heritage brand has also had a significant impact on the styling choices of attendees, whether your ticket is for the Royal Box or gets you onto Murray Mound. Striped shirting, cable-knit jumpers (much like Alexa’s) and white tailoring are Ralph Lauren signatures that have become aligned with the Wimbledon aesthetic.
