The Princess of Wales' long-time former stylist, Natasha Archer, stepped out at Wimbledon on Tuesday in a stunning ruffled dress. Sharing a glorious 'outfit of the day' snap on her Instagram feed, the fashion professional penned: "Wimbledon. A wonderful British day out - one of summer's finest traditions." 

Natasha wore the 'Shirred Maxi Dress' by ME+EM - a label often embraced by the royal family. The pretty design, which is part of the brand's current collection, has a price tag of £195, and all sizes are currently available online.

The striking ensemble features a burgundy and white paisley print and is framed by feminine ruffled trims and has a flattering, shirred bodice. Described by the brand as having an "intelligently detailed neckline", it features a hook-and-eye and a zip fastening.

Although there's no dress code at Wimbledon, classic, timeless attire is preferred, and Natasha has met the brief with this number. What's more, it's made of cotton, the ideal fabric to don when the weather hots up. As a fashion editor, I have covered Wimbledon court-side outfits for over eight years, and this is one of the most fabulous dresses I've seen at the SW19 venue.

Natasha's Royal Ascot 2026 look

Natasha headed to Royal Ascot last month and delighted onlookers with her lemon-yellow gown by Princess Kate's most-worn designers, Alessandra Rich.

Natasha wore the brand's 'Silk Double-Breasted Midi Dress,' which costs £1,535 and is part of the label's current collection. The ensemble features Alessandra Rich's instantly recognisable, iconic oversized white collar, as well as a charming floral motif and a statement double-breasted fastening.

The 1940s-inspired style also boasted a sweet, waist-defining belt. Choosing brands that Princess Kate also loves for her landmark accessories, Natasha chose a straw boater hat by Jane Taylor, and shoes and a bag by Jennifer Chamandi.

"Royal Ascot 2026," she penned in the caption. "A glorious day with @garrard at one of my favourite events of the year. There is something so special about the tradition, elegance, and pageantry of Ascot."
