Wimbledon's most enduring style trends: From Princess Diana's polka dots to Sienna Miller's stripes

The Wimbledon style archive of the late Princess Diana remains unmatched. From bold prints to classic neutrals, she wore it all, but polka dots were a firm favourite. She's pictured here cheering on Pete Sampras in the Men’s Singles Final in 1993, wearing a chic silky spotted blouse paired with gold jewellery.

Diana's daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, also has a penchant for polka dots and has worn them to the tennis competition on multiple occasions. She's pictured here in a cornflower blue dress by one of her most worn designers, Alessandra Rich. She styled the midi with white slingback heels and a matching Mulberry bag.

Margot Robbie wore this beautiful polka dot piece by Alaïa to attend Wimbledon in 2024. The Hollywood star, who was pregnant at the time with her first child, accessorised with peep toe heels also by the brand and sleek black sunglasses .

Mollie King wore polka dots by royal-favourite brand Posse for Wimbledon in 2024. Made from lightweight linen, the chocolate brown midi featured a stylish square neckline, a relaxed skirt, and a stunning open back.

Katherine Jenkins proved polka dots are a timeless look, wearing a white and blue top with a pussy bow neckline and a matching midi skirt for the first day of the tournament this summer. She completed the look with white accessories and pearl earrings.

We can always rely on Sienna Miller to bring the most effortless style to any high profile event. In 2023, the actress attended Wimbledon in a striped linen suit by Ralph Lauren. The blue and white tailored two-piece had a relaxed cut, and she accessorised with a woven handbag, platform heels and oversized black sunglasses.

Perhaps Sienna was inspired by Meghan Markle, who also wore stripes by Ralph Lauren to attend the Ladies' Singles Final with Princess Kate back in 2018. The Duchess dressed down for the occasion, looking flawless in her crisp shirt, white tailored trousers and a boater hat.

Nicky Hilton looked stunning at Wimbledon this summer, wearing an asymmetric striped dress by New York-based label MONSE. She styled it with nude heels and a blue Hermès Kelly.

Ellie Goulding is a regular at Wimbledon and she looked beautiful, attending the tournament in 2025 wearing a cotton striped dress by Tod's. Sitting in the Royal Box, the singer was glowing. She accessorised with a matching handbag also by the brand.

Don't be afraid to mix your stripes with bright embroidery, as demonstrated by Lily Collins last year. The Emily in Paris star wore this midi by Stella Jean, styled with ballet flats by Alaïa - super cute and comfortable.

The Princess of Wales is the queen of Wimbledon style, and often wears a tonal ensemble. Last year, she paired this Self-Portrait dress, which is made to look like a pleated skirt and belted utility top, with the Anya Hindmarch Neeson bag and nude Gianvito Rossi Ribbon slingbacks.

Back in 2018, Emma Watson made a rare appearance at Wimbledon in this very chic white tailored wide-leg trouser suit by Ralph Lauren, which she styled with a matching hat by French millinery brand Maison Michel, and statement silver earrings.

Simone Ashley looked gorgeous in all-white for Wimbledon day six this summer. She styled the elegant white co-ord with matching brogues and her hair worn in effortless waves.

Last year, Priyanka Chopra looked totally angelic in this white halterneck midi dress. The Ralph Lauren piece is such an easy style to emulate. She paired it with a dark lip and barely-there white heeled sandals.

Lady Eliza and Lady Amelia Spencer looked stunning in coordinating white dresses at Wimbledon this year. The impeccably tailored pieces were by Holland Cooper. They completed their outfits with delicate jewellery and stiletto heels.
