Kate went with a vibrant yellow dress at Wimbledon today.
The Duke and Duchess were at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club for the Gentlemen’s Singles Final.
Before the match, they met former champions, including Rod Laver.
Serbia’s Novak Djokovic was taking on Kevin Anderson of South Africa.
Below you see Kate and William with Prime Minister Theresa May.
Another look.
She always seems to have a terrific time at the event.
As ever, Kate’s expressions during Wimbledon are fun to watch.
And the couple looked like they really enjoyed watching the match.
The royal box was filled with notable names, including PR Executive Hannah Bagshawe and her husband, Eddie Redmayne.

Not everyone was able to watch from Centre Court; these are some of the spectators on the hill enjoying the match on the big screen.

It was another warm and humid day.
The Ball Girls and Ball Boys.
The temperature was 85° when the match started.
And both players were coming off brutal semi-finals matches. More from ESPN:
Djokovic and Anderson won the two longest semifinals in Wimbledon history to get to Sunday’s title match. Anderson played for more than 6½ hours before edging John Isner 26-24 in the fifth set Friday. Djokovic needed 5 hours, 15 minutes to get past Rafael Nadal in a match that ended Saturday.
Mr. Djokovic was the victor.

The reaction from Jelena Djokovic, wife of the champion (in white), and the couple’s son, Stefan.
It was his fourth Wimbledon title and thirteenth Grand Slam victory. It’s difficult to see, but the Duke of Kent is just to the left of Mr. Djokovic, after presenting him with the trophy. The president of the AELTC presents the trophies; the Duke is president.

Now for what Kate wore, a knee-length fitted dress from Dolce and Gabbana.
It is from the brand’s Resort 2017 collection. Made in a rayon/acetate crepe, it features a fitted bodice, round neckline, concealed back zipper and ruffled sleeves. As of 11 am, it is only available at YOOX in a US size 4 ($1050). Below, a look at the dress from the back. Once again, our thanks to Michelle of Perths Fashion for sharing the dress information!
Kate carried the handbag seen yesterday, the Miss Sicily style.
It remains available at My Theresa ($1695) as well as at SSense ($1695).
In the photo of Kate from the back, you can see she is also carrying what appears to be a vinyl cosmetic case or pouch. The color looks like it could be Wimbledon’s purple; it may be something given to guests.
UPDATE: There are a few photos that show Kate’s feet, and it looks like she did wear the Gianvito Rossi pumps in ‘praline’ suede ($675) seen yesterday. (We show them in a photo from yesterday’s match.) They are available at Saks in a so-so mix of sizes, and also at My Theresa, where there is a very limited selection of sizes ($675). UPDATE 2: It does not look like Kate was wearing the Praline pumps, but a nude point-toe shoe that we can’t identify. NOTE: The consensus in comments is that Kate was *not* wearing the Rossis. Here is a video Middleton Maven discovered that shows Kate’s feet.
Quick video: Kate is pictured chatting with Rod Laver before the match earlier today.
I see she wore beige pumps with her dress. pic.twitter.com/naHWroLkS6— MiddletonMaven (@MiddletonMaven) July 15, 2018
It looks like the Duchess wore the sunglasses we first saw yesterday.
They are the Ray-Ban New Rubber Youngster style in gradient brown. The frame almost looks black in some photos, but when lightened you can see the brown color variations in the matte rubber frame.
It looks like the style is still available at Amazon ($143), but sold out at Shopbop.
Kate wore a necklace not seen for some time, the three pieces from the Asprey Woodland Charms collection.
It looked like she had on a new (to us) pair of earrings.
The ever-savvy Michelle wonders if they might also be from Asprey. UPDATE #1: Michelle thinks it’s possible the earrings are the same design as this Oak Leaf Bracelet from Asprey. UPDATE #2: Michelle’s theory was spot-on, Asprey confirms Kate was wearing their earrings. Thank you to KatiesRoyalLove on Twitter for sharing the confirmation.
UPDATE #3 JULY 21: It turns out Kate was wearing the Asprey Oak Leaf Small Hoop Earrings ($6450). The earrings are 18K yellow gold with pavé diamonds; they are now available on the jeweler’s site.
The Duchess wore the citrine cocktail ring most recently seen at Meghan and Harry’s wedding. Thank heaven Sara mentioned the ring on Twitter and Maryrose sent a DM on Facebook or I might have completely overlooked it.
Kate had on her Cartier Ballon Bleu stainless steel wristwatch.
She also wore the purple/green members ribbon that the 375 members of the AELTC may wear. (If you scroll up and look at the photo of Kate in sunglasses, you’ll see Rod Laver’s tie is in the Wimbledon colors.)
We’ll see you in a few days with a new post!
Effortlessly gorgeous that’s our kate.
Stunning. Best look in ages. Love it.
I think her shoes aren’t Gianvito Rossi pumps her shoes are cream
What post baby body? She looks great.
I love both Wimbledon looks, but this one really knocks it out of the (proverbial) tennis court! The dress is perfectly tailored, the details are so subtle and understated, but that color is just outstanding. I love that on the first outing, her neutral dress was beautiful without detracting any attention away from her companion, the DoS. But this time, she knows all eyes are on her and she embraces it with a screaming yellow dress. Very much taking a cue from the Queen, who also chooses colors to stand out in a crowd.
Her hair is at its most gorgeous. One day when people are able to alter their genes and grow any hair they want, we’ll all have Princess Kate hair. 😉
Also after seeing the cut and fit of both these Wimbledon looks, can we please put to rest all the comments about her post-partum figure?! She is not dealing with a baby-body. It’s just her body…she is a three-time mother and may also be nursing, so yes, there will be changes to her shape. But there’s just no need to imply that something is wrong with her figure because she “just had a baby” or that her clothes are cut to be “forgiving.”
I have loved seeing all these different looks from her lately.
Here here! I totally agree that she looks fabulous and let’s leave it at that.
I think she looks fantastic..and oh that handbag is marvellous!
I love Kate in this yellow color. It’s the second time I’ve seen her pull it off and it’s a very difficult color to wear without looking jaundice. Somehow she looks fantastic in this color and it always reminds me of when William told her she looked like a banana during the Australian tour. Sorry Wills, but the yellow is a keeper!
Lol, did William say that? That’s hilarious, not because it’s true, but because it shows what a fun and loving relationship they have. Too cute!! The length and style of the dress keep her from looking like a banana 🙂
I also wonder how can she pull off sunny yellow AND icy blue? Does she have a neutral coloring?
I remember William saying that! Too funny! Most of all, I just love how happy they look together. William & Catherine really seem to enjoy each other’s company & spend much of their time laughing and smiling when together. What a blessing! Wishing them years of laughter & happiness 🙂
Great look! Her hair looks amazing here, so much better than on Saturday. I love the bag, wish she’d be more adventurous with her shoes, the dress is so flattering and lovely on her. Two days in a row of knock-out dresses.
I love this dress, the colour and the sleeve are perfection. My only criticism of the outfit is the accessories, I think a summer sandal would have been better than the suede pump. However, if a pump is required by dress code a different colour may have been a better choice, a navy or a tan accessory would have been an amazing contrast.
Any further information on that citrine ring? Any close ups? I can’t seem to find any info about it and I’d love to know more about it.
“Behind Prince William is actor Tom Hiddleston”… talking to BJÖRN BORG!!!
Just love to see Kate in yellow. She is glowing.
Fun post! Loved all the videos and pictures of the celebs! Kate’s dress is gorgeous and she looks stunning in it. I, like others, am glad we can’t see the shoes. Hahaha. He hair looks extra beautiful today and it seems a bit darker than usual. Maybe the light or something.
Absolutely love the dress!
All I can say is those heels must be really comfortable!
It’s been a while since Kate wore anything I’ve well and truly coveted, but I’d love to have this dress in my closet! It’s such a flattering style, it fits her perfectly, and I feel like it strikes the perfect balance of polished and youthful. And it seems we’ve yet to find a color she doesn’t look good in. I probably would have preferred a more delicate shoe with it, but the dress is so lovely I can overlook that. Definitely on the short list of her best daytime looks, imo.
That is quite the eclectic group of people in the Royal Box. Yesterday I checked to see what the dress code is to sit there. It is suits, shirts, and ties for men, which was why I thought Meghan’s look was a bit too casual. It also said, that people are asked not to wear hats, so as to not block the view of people seated behind them. Meghan complied and didn’t put on the hat she was carrying. But I see that Benedict Cumberbatch, Emma Watson and the man to Emma’s right are wearing hats. Also, in the photo with Emma, are several men without ties. So obviously some people don’t follow the rules. In 2015, Lewis Hamilton was not allowed to sit in the Royal Box, because he was not wearing a jacket and tie.
Someone commented yesterday that they would be willing to commit a crime to obtain the Packman dress… I giggled, but today I’m having the same thoughts about this D&G dress!!! This dress is stunning and so is the Duchess 🙂
just loved this dress, bright, sunny and a gorgeous design without being too fussy. The dress I really like was Jelena Djokovic, I saw a full length photo and it was stunning. Wimbledon, love this time of the year.
Beautiful. Kate appears so much more relaxed – moving so comfortably into her role as a future Queen.
It’s such a delight to have Kate greet us in sunny yellow, at her natural and unaffected best. Her D&G frock is a well informed choice, embracing a classic sheath shape topped with some feminine twists; a forgiving high waistline, sweet scoop neck, and the loose frill sleeves she has favoured since she began married life.
The casual approach to detail lends her valuable accessibility as she once again reworks the neutral accessory of that gorgeous handbag, which neither matches nor clashes with dark polka dots yesterday or an intense shade of yellow today.
Something of the same approach applies to the modest pieces of jewellery she favours, each with its own delicate character but otherwise unrelated, not picked out for exacting coordination. The pendant charms are particularly endearing for their personal reference to the coat of arms given to her family and encapsulate her balance of the formal and the familiar. Those earrings look mouthwatering. Thank you Kate.
Well said, ElizaMo! Kate looked wonderful in this sunny shade of yellow, and I love the oak leaf nod to her family coat of arms. She was clearly enjoying herself today— her mood seemed to match the color of her dress! 😀🎾
Both Kate and William looked to be enjoying a parental break!
Look at that figure!!! She’s just gorgeous. Love that she wore the Asprey necklace & earrings. I can’t find any pics online of the shoes she wore. I love how relaxed and happy she and Prince William are together.
In my opinion the win went to Jelena Djokovic, wife of Novak Djokovic, Men’s 2018 Wimbledon champion. Jelena looked cool and refreshing even under immense pressure wearing summer white. Loved her massive white boyfriend watch, long hair braided and pulled to the side and her awesome sunglasses with gold end piece.Thank you for including her photo and the other celebs as well.
I didn’t take a good look at the watch, but at first glance thought it might be a Chanel J12.
Does anyone know the designer of Jelena Djokovic’s white dress?
I love this, I much prefer to yesterday. Its youthful and summery. Lovely dress, fab colour.
Beautiful! Absolutely perfect for the occasion. Love the color and cut of this dress. I agree with others that there is youthful look to this dress and it suits her so well. I think the cut of this dress is much more flattering than yesterday and I like the slightly lower neckline.
Wow! Just Wow- perfection !
I have drooled over that necklace/charms for years—and now the earrings are also drool worthy and perfect for the occasion. Hair, makeup and sunglasses = perfection.
I just wrote a comment about yesterday’s look that the hem was too long. Today’s hem is exactly where it needs to be for both the proportion of the dress and to be most flattering to the wearer.
I don’t love yellow, but the duchess looks fantastic in this shade. I love the fluttery sleeves and fit. It might be a “skosh” tight under the bust but I will assume this is due to a changing figure on a postpartum (and likely nursing) mother. Thank goodness we couldn’t see the shoes—I am sure she wore the nude pumps from yesterday and that would spoil the look IMO, so I am going to pretend she has on a great pair of wedges and let it go.
It’s wrinkled. It was wrinkled getting out of the car. It was wrinkled walking to the seats. It was even more creased leaving. Kate is one of the best known public figures in the world, and yet she repeatedly wears wrinkled clothing. The solution is to do a crumple test of the fabric, and if it crushes in your hand, choose something else. . You can also go up a size.
Kate looked very nice both days. Love the jewelry! I’m surprised no one has mentioned Emma Watson. She really nailed the Wimbledon look!
Wow stunning!!
I love this look. Youthful and stylish. The color is striking on her and I like the design, with the fluttery sleeves. This is the type of dress I would love to see her i n more often, as opposed to yesterday’s stuffier look. I suspect she is wearing the nude pumps I hate, but as I can’t see them I will pretend she is wearing sandals.
Side note…I hope Luke Evans’s stache is for a role. He is too handsome for that thing 🙂
Bright, happy yellow dress, nice fit–perfect!! Kate does look good in yellow even though she doesn’t wear it too often but when she does it’s quite stunning and grabs our attention!! I like the idea that many mentioned–it’s a nod to the yellow tennis balls!! LOL! Lovely earrings and necklace and of course that ring!! Sigh!! And that purse again-double sigh!!!
Thank you for including pictures of other celebs who are in attendance. My favorite though is the one of the crowd sitting with their backs to some sort of pool and watching the big screen. I noticed a couple of people with Wimbledon colored umbrellas!! Nice touch!!
A really flattering fit on this dress, not sure about the color. I would have used yesterday’s print for this design. I really loved Hannah Bagshawe’s (Eddie Redmayne’s wife) Valentino butterfly/bug dress today!
Dear admin! I see what you there in your post, naming the ladies first! Absolutely loved it!
😉
Seconding Noelia’s comment! 🙂
Yes!! loved that
Another fantastic dress from Kate. That’s two for two for this year’s Wimbledon for me.
Also, thanks for including photos of some of the celebs who attended – it was nice seeing who came out.
Absolutely gorgeous! This color and cut are perfect on Kate, and the shoulders/sleeves are interesting without being as fussy as yesterday’s Packham. I think this may be my favorite of Kate’s Wimbledon outfits, and I love all the pictures of her surrounded by people dressed in blue, white, and tan!
Because this is Kate, I’m almost certain she’s wearing a nude heel (most likely her Gianvito Rossi ones, given the pink bag). That being said, this is the perfect dress for interesting shoes and I’m holding out hope that we’ll see pictures of something else at some point.
I always love the occasions on which we get to see Kate with an actual bag and not a clutch, and I love her choice of jewelery here. Hope to see these earrings again at some point!
Kate look stunning. Great en pointe colour, simple cut of dress which allow her beautiful skin, hair and figure to shine.
Do you know what shoes she wore today?
No, I do not. If we learn more I will update the post.
The only full length I’ve been able to find is on Wimbledon’s Instagram Story! Not the best unfortunately :/
Wow, Kate looks stunning. Her figure is perfection; she must be putting in gym time and eating impeccably to be so slim just a few months postpartum? I hate to even comment on it because women’s bodies shouldn’t be up for judgement at every turn but I’m overriding myself because WOW. This is her perfect silhouette for me.
I’d ditch the watch but whatever. This yellow dress and the yellow dress worn by Meghan a few weeks ago are both gorgeous and perfect examples of each ladies’ personal style.
Im not a fan of yellow but this looks great on Kate, an even better cut and fit than yesterdays dress. I wonder if the bright yellow was a nod to tennis ball yellow haha.. Im loving the hair i hope she continues to grow it out. I miss the ‘princessy hair’ from years past. It almost has a reddish tint to it in the sunlight.
Im glad she brought out the woodland charms they are adorable! I love leaves and trees and have a few nature inspired pieces of jewlery from Waxing Poetic.
Is Kate’s maternity leave officially over or are these recent events just a few shes opted to attend while on leave?
Great post as always! 😁
Hello Susan,
I think the earrings are indeed the Asprey Woodland Oak Leaf small hoop earrings which retail at £4,500.
You can see a pic at this address https://www.kingandpartners.com/work/asprey/ bottom of the page.
Best
Sophie xx
Thank you, Sophie! 🙂
That makes sense that she would wear the woodland charms with an oak leaf earring
If Kate is the patron now, why does she not present the trophies?
The president of the AELTC presents the trophies; the Duke of Kent is president. I’m glad you asked, I will add that info to the post. 🙂
I love the couture of this dress and it really suits Kate. Looks good against Mrs May’s lovely blue too!
I also love to see Kate using a real handbag.
She looks very nice and I do think a nice Summer dress is perfect for Wimbledon.
Courtney= colour. 😀
She always use a real handbag at Wimbledon 😋
Such a lovely Wimbledon outfit. Kind of a tennis ball color 🙂 and such fun sleeves! I almost wish her hair was up so that we could see more of that fun neckline and the flutter sleeves. I hope if we see the shoes we’ll be pleasantly surprised :). Really flatters her figure. Looks like she and William had a grand time. So happy for them.
Wanted to add that her hair is looking fabulous — so glossy and bouncy! Glad it’s getting longer again 🙂
I love the dress and her hair is fabulous. I’m with other commenters, total hair jealousy, envy etc. etc.
I love the way Kate and William interact, they have so much fun together. It’s great to see.
On the web there are titles such as, “Kate Channels Meghan in Yellow.” or “Kate Learns Style Tips for Meghan.” or “Meghan Inspires Kate.” Why would there be a thought that Meghan would have exclusive rights to this popular summer colour? Kate, in fact, wore yellow to Wimbledon two years ago.
Kate looks wonderful in this colour and the dress is flattering for her. I like the sleeves which are flirty and fun. The bag is listed as being pink, which seems an odd choice to go with bright yellow, although the leather looks to be a nude colour, so it doesn’t clash. It would be interesting to see Kate’s shoes. I am guessing they are nude pumps and hopefully not the suede, praline ones. It would be so nice if Kate had a collection of summer sandals, rather than wearing court shoes with very high heels. Perhaps we’ll be in for a nice surprise once a photo showing her shoes surfaces.
I am with you on the ridiculousness of the headlines, but Meghan wore a yellow dress just last week if I am not mistaken, so that’s probably what they are referring to.
Well, Susan you have confirmed that Kate did wear the suede, praline shoes, that so many of us are tired of. The only outfit I ever liked with these shoes was the dusty, pink dress, that Kate wore to Pippa’s wedding. I figured those were the right shoes for that dress. For everything else, I think those shoes are a miss. They don’t clash, but they don’t enhance. Either Kate loves the way they look, or she loves how comfortable they are…although with the height I can’t imagine they are comfortable…because she wears them continually. If only she would embrace the sandal look for summer.
The funny thing is that she did wear sandals a few times last summer to much acclaim at WKW, so you’d think she’d continue that tradition. Maybe she found them uncomfortable?
It seems I might be in the minority today but I liked yesterday’s dress better. I love both dresses but I thought yesterday’s was more interesting. Also, todays dress is tight under the bust. I’ll glad we can’t see what shoes the DoC is wearing! Lol
agreed. Thought this was plain
Kate looks so pretty in this dress and I love those earrings!!!
Ok, now she knocked it out of the park. I SO would wear this whole ensemble! The color is great, goes with her hair and her skin tone. Great fitting, as always. It’s fresh and beautiful. The hair looks glorious.Way to go, duchess. =)
NOTE: quick admin edit
I love this beautiful dress! Fantastic color, perfect fit, and the gently ruffled sleeve adds the right amount of interest. This is one of the best looks ever for the Duchess IMO.
I’m glad to see the Duke and Duchess wearing sunglasses. They are important for protecting the eyes from UV light damage. Instead of thinking of sunglasses a fashion accessory, they ought to be seen as essential outdoor protection.
Simply beautiful! This is a sparkling look for Kate.
Love the sunny color and simple cut of the dress. Those fluttery sleeves are so pretty!
Anticipating the inevitable comments re: wrinkled fabric/creasing of her dress. I really don’t fuss about a dress wrinkling with normal wear. Especially at a sporting event! Neither Duchess is a Teflon coated Barbie. They wear fabrics that are not plastic. I enjoy the reality of clothes that are actually being worn; not steamed and pinned to a lifeless mannequin.
I love this look and think that the DoC looks absolutely flawless. I like that we’re seeing yellow recently. I feel like Amal Clooney started the “trend” when she attended that royal wedding in May. Then the DoS wore that fabulous Brandon Maxwell dress. Now the DoC in this! Yellow certainly isn’t a color that I can wear, but I love seeing it on women who can pull it off.
Yes!!! Yes!!!
Young, vibrant and beautiful. More of this please!
‘nough said :))
Love the citrine ring! I wish she would wear cocktail rings more often. Her earrings are very pretty if they are the Asprey pair.
Even though this yellow isn’t her shade, the dress is a pretty summer frock. It is far more complimentary than the dress she wore yesterday. The fluttery cap sleeves and less severe neckline suit her well. She has had two fabulous hair days. She looks years younger with her hair like this than in the severe hairnetted updos.
Second that last part, much younger in the face and still enviably slim!
I’m curious as to what comments you’re referring to, do you have an example or a Link?
This look is perferction to me.
I love the style of this dress much more than yesterday’s, the bright colour it is much less blah.
The sunny yellow is in perfect keeping with her skin/hair colour and the season, a shame it seems to wrinkle easily (as in the topmost picture).
I wish we had been able to see the shoes she chose to go with this (fingers crossed it wasn’t the same suede pumps we saw yesterday, they’d let the look terribly down).
I think the jewellery is light enough for a sport-occasion.
A minor quibble is that the silver watch seems off along the golden jewellery – but than this watch seems less an accessory for Kate but rather an object of utility.
Also nice to see that the slightly rosy colour of the purse really seems to go with lots of colours (as commenters said yesterday).
I love her new hair by the way, even if I do think that Wimbledon calls for a nice ponytail.
All in all probably my favourite Wimbledon-Outfit so far (hoping a poll is coming my way)!
Also love the bright yellow and wish there was some shoe pics. Agreed that the suede pumps would ruin it.
Her hair looks amazing lately. So healthy and natural. Total hair jealousy. 🙂
Spoke too soon. Just saw a full length. The icky suede pumps are back. 🙁
I am with you on the silver watch comment. In my memory, I cannot think of her wearing any other watch. She obviously takes great care to coordinate all her other jewellery, but why not have at least one gold or warm-toned wristwatch?
Well. This is terrific. This is way up there for me for favorite Wimbledon looks. The bright, sunny color is so summer-perfect, and the gathered flutter sleeves are very flattering and feminine; very Dolce.
I was just thinking about the woodland charms necklace the other day, because I have been admiring the DoS’s smaller-scaled, delicate jewelry choices, and I was reminded that the DoC had some piece in that vein too. I think these charms are so sweet, and I covet them. Less sure about the earrings, but that’s just personal taste.
Her hair continues to look amazing lately. No peek of the shoes?
Not that I have been able to find yet. 🙂
Here’s a tiny look! https://www.gettyimages.com/license/999437184
Interesting! It doesn’t look like the Rossis. One of her trusty wedges?
I don’t think they are the Rossis either. In this photo they look like a much lighter nude and not suede. I have to say I disagree with the verdict. The Wimbledon instagram story shows a full length video of the Duchess and it doesn’t look like the Rossis at all. I like the fact that the lighter nude matches the handbag better. Anyone else see what I see?
I really liked what she wore yesterday (the Jenny Packham), but I think this flatters her figure much more. Beautiful!
She looks lovely. Beautiful colour and love that it’s a handbag and not a clutch.
I love Wimbledon for the celebrity sightings (beyond the royals). Behind Luke Evans is Tom Holland (drinking from the water bottle so his face is obstructed). And that’s Benedict Cumberbatch next to Eddie Redmayne in that picture of Katherine Jenkins.
Kate looks beautiful in yellow. Such a cheerful color!
I’m so glad you mentioned Benedict Cumberbatch, I had a photo of him I’d edited and forgot to include! 🙂
