Kate Middleton turns heads in red for Wimbledon 2026 appearance

Kate Middleton turned heads as the lady in red at her latest Wimbledon appearance.

The Princess of Wales, 44, sported a red peplum dress on Saturday as she watched the women’s singles final match between Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova.

She accessorized her ensemble with a pair of gemstone drop earrings and matching necklace, and styled her brunette locks in a half-up, half-down hairdo.

Middleton, who is the patron of the All England Club, last made an appearance at Wimbledon on July 2 — but her previous look was certainly a cooler tone from her fiery red statement on Saturday.

The princess settled on a bright blue two-piece suit, a matching Gabriela Hearst blazer ($2,190) and pants ($1,090) set.

She paired the suit with a white Ralph Lauren T-shirt underneath and added some sparkle with Carousel lapis and moonstone drop earrings ($232).

She completed the look with her sapphire and diamond engagement ring and eternity band.

During her July 2 appearance, Middleton met with tennis fans who had lined up in Wimbledon’s famous Queue. She later sat to watch a second-round match featuring British player Arthur Fery on one of the outer courts at the grass-court Grand Slam.

“On arrival, Her Royal Highness visited The Queue, spending time meeting attendees who have queued since early this morning, alongside AELTC’s honorary stewards, who volunteer each year to manage The Queue and welcome guests as they arrive at the Championships,” Kensington Palace said in a statement.

Middleton has attended Wimbledon almost every year since 2011, but she also took over the late Queen Elizabeth’s role as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in 2016.

Last year, she was poised at Centre Court on consecutive days to present the winners’ trophies to singles champions Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner.

The princess didn’t attend Wimbledon for the women’s final in 2024, as she was still recovering from cancer, but she turned up on hand for Carlos Alcaraz’s win over Novak Djokovic.
