Wimbledon style moments: 9 royals and celebrities who served effortless elegance
Apart from being one of the ultimate benchmarks of tennis, Wimbledon is a two-week showcase of quintessential elegance where spectator fashion rivals the action on court. The tournament’s dress code sets the tone: smart-casual elegance in the public stands—think tailored linens and chic summer dresses—while the exclusive Royal Box demands stricter standards: gentlemen in lounge suits or tailored jackets with ties, and ladies dressed smartly, typically without hats to preserve sightlines. This year’s parade of style was as thrilling as the matches themselves, with impeccably dressed attendees, from Queen Camilla to Cate Blanchett, all understanding that, at Wimbledon, dressing well is a sport in itself.
