It was wonderful to see the enchanting Lady Gabriella Kingston at the Wimbledon Men's Singles Final on Sunday afternoon. Cutting a stylish figure, the 45-year-old donned a striking green dress by high-end fashion brand Sandro Paris.

The 'Knit Maxi Dress' comes in four bold shades and features a fitted top and flared skirt, a modern, round neckline, and a button-down front. She carried the Aspinal London 'Mayfair' bag and wore coordinating green drop earrings. In short, the perfect Wimbledon outfit, embracing the tournament's signature colour.

It appears that Gabriella wasn't the only lady with a love for this dress at the famous SW19 event. The previous day, for the Women's Singles Final, TV star Davina McCall wore the same design as she sat in the Royal Box.

Thank goodness both ladies didn't attend on the same day!

Kate's Polo dress at Wimbledon

Lady Gabriella wasn't the only royal caught up in a major fashion overlap this week. The 'Wimbledon Effect' extended all the way to Windsor on Friday, where the Princess of Wales attended Prince William’s charity polo match in a dress that eagle-eyed fashion fans had already spotted in the Royal Box earlier in the week.

King Charles' eldest son took part in the charity match – an activity he used to do alongside his brother, Prince Harry. Despite having spoken in the past about being allergic to horses, Kate stepped out to watch from the sidelines.

The royal's designer dress was sleeveless

Mother-of-three Kate donned a brand new dress for the occasion. Looking as resplendent as ever, she delighted onlookers in her classic gingham sleeveless dress by Temperley London. The glamorous ensemble was fitting for the heatwave as it was crafted in a vest-style shape and featured a full skirt.

However, the brunette royal wasn't the first to wear it. It was debuted by Sophie Hunter, the wife of Benedict Cumberbatch, on day 9 of Wimbledon 2026, although she added a waist-defining belt in the same fabric, whereas Kate appeared to have opted to forgo hers.
