Our Stylists' Wimbledon Submissions (Part 2)

Are you all enjoying a nice summer? This evening we're back with a second batch of submissions from our talented stylists, who chose their ideal looks for the Duchess to wear to Wimbledon. There's an abundance of designers and brands, familiar looks from Kate's wardrobe, trendy jumpsuits and everything from summery floral hues to classic neutrals. There are plenty of gorgeous options for a day of tennis. Enjoy!


Princess May - "My goals--Duchess Catherine has a simple, classic style I want to stay in line with; it is a sporting event, so perhaps be a little sporty; she is a sponsor, so align the colors with the green and purple ribbon she wears." May would like to see the Duchess in a custom dark green version of the Altuzarra Sunday striped ribbed dress. Styled with white Jimmy Choo sandals and a green croc Nancy Gonzalez bag. May added "Black Tahitian pearls naturally glimmer green and purple, so her jewelry in black Tahitian pearls/white gold." And to finish off the look "Pull her hair into a scarf wrapped ponytail with this (which should only show the colors, not the pattern)."


Sofy - For a day in The Royal Box, Sofy chose the Catherine Walker Jardin dress which features "a swirl of English garden features". The dress is accessorised with Kate's cushion cut green amethyst Kiki McDonough earrings, Kate's much loved Aspinal Mayfair bag in lilac and Kate's LK Bennett cross strap nude sandals.


Suffolk Sarah - "This is quite formal, but very 'Kate' I think, so it would be for a trophy presentation day rather than a visit earlier in the fortnight." Sarah selected Gucci's Silk Blend Midi Dress with contrasting red and navy striped detailing. A tennis ball shaped Tifosa bag and navy Gianvito Rossi pumps compliment the dress. The look is completed with Kate's Asprey pendant in ruby and rose gold earrings.


Georgina - Georgina chose the cream Bethany wool-crepe Jumpsuit by Roland Mouret for Wimbledon. The statement piece is styled with Prada glossed textured-leather pumps, a YSL gold metallic Loulou shoulder bag and Kate's Cassandra Goad Temple of Heaven earrings.


Flora - "I love Kate's summer style! Especially with more wavy hair!". Flora would love to see Kate wearing a jacquard floral cream Alexander McQueen dress styled with Rupert Sanderson Malory pumps in lapis, an intricate blue and gold bag by Magnetic Midnight and Kate's Ray Ban Wayfarers. In2Design pearl earrings complete the look.


Bluefire - Bluefire chose the Kholoe Alphabet Check Patterned Pleat dress. It would be worn with Tom Ford's Small Tara shoulder bag, Kate's L.K. Bennett Floret pumps, Chaumet Paris earrings and a Portofino watch.


Anonymous - "This 100% silk dress from Madderson London has a fresh and summery print, and more importantly hits at the knee for comfort and a level of appropriateness. I would style it with Kate's navy pumps and navy clutch, but she has a plethora of different options in her closet."


Maria in Germany - "I went with a vibrant green lace dress by Dolce & Gabbana that just represents summer to me!" The sleeveless Dolce & Gabbana dress is teamed with a pair of off-white Jimmy Choo Romy pumps, Kate's Kiki Grace studs, Jimmy Choo's Latte Calf Leather Bowling bag and Kate's Bvlgari sunglasses.


Carlie Renae - Carlie Renae went for a splash of bubblegum pink with Goat Fashion's Iris dress with fluted tier detail. The dress is styled with a pair of nude Emmy London Rebecca shoes, Kate's Dolce & Gabbana Sicily bag, Kiki Morganite earrings, Kate's Cartier Ballon Bleu watch and Ray-Ban sunglasses.


Anna Cecilia - Anna Cecilia chose a separates look featuring Roland Mouret's white gazar cloque Braxton top worn with KAOA fashion green culottes and Will's Vegan sandals, which are ethically made in Portugal.


Anonymous - "On the first tour of Canada shortly after the wedding she wore a blue and white two piece outfit on, I believe Prince Edward Island. I think the designer was Sarah Burton. I loved it so much I would have bought it if I could have afforded it. She then wore it again to Wimbledon. Perhaps my favorite of all her outfits and I think it would be great for her to wear it again at Wimbledon."


Little Miss Sunshine - "I resisted temptation to look for a new dress and instead decided to build my outfit around a dress Kate already owns. The Emilia Wickstead midi dress from the India Tour would totally be Kate's style considering her past preference for midi dresses at Wimbledon. Also, I prefer the simplicity of a light colour for this event. To really differentiate this look from the last time she wore the dress, I would style her hair up in a high ponytail." The dress is styled with Kate's brown Ray Ban wayfarers, Annoushka Dream Catcher rose gold earrings and Steve Madden rose gold pumps.


Anonymous - Anonymous chose Erdem's sunny yellow Kirstie floral print silk voile midi dress styled with Jimmy Choo Romy 100 Patent Leather pumps, Kiki lavender amethyst earrings and Kate's Aspinal of London Mayfair bag in lilac.


Sunny - "While I was browsing the Emmy London page, I fell in love with a set of pumps + clutch.  I know that they are a bit too formal for Wimbledon, but Kate definitely needs them in her closet! I tried to style an outfit around them and would suggest a longer (looks just more professional) version of this Paule Ka dress."



Unknown - Unknown would love to see Kate wearing Erdem's Efinn floral-print crepe midi dress styled with Kate's Catherine Zoraida Fern Hoop earrings, and a pair of her navy pumps.


Unknown - Unknown was torn between two looks; her other possibility was Preen's Serelida asymmetric ruffled floral-print crepe de chine dress worn with her red Gianvito Rossi pumps, Accessorize Polly Petal earrings, Kate's red Miu Miu bag and Ray Ban sunglasses.

Elise - "Jumpsuits are super comfortable, but still formal, so I decided to base my outfit off of a jumpsuit." The Phase Eight Nerissa Floaty Jumpsuit is styled with the Coach Charlie Leather carryall bag, Nicholes Aldo sandals in bone, Kate's In2Design baroque pearl earrings and her favourite Ray Ban wayfarers. Elise adds: "Her hair would also be done in a half-back style with curled ends."


Gigi - "I love this styling challenge! Wimbledon is such a fun event, but it presents a few challenges--weather, sitting for a long period of time, something that looks good waist up as well as full length. I saw some amazing Pucci geometric and Dolce & Gabbana florals that I loved, but here is what I settled on: A dress from a designer that I don't think Kate has worn before, Cefinn. The two tone dress is bold, but not too bold, and would be flattering on Kate. I love the belt and the length. It also combines red and pink, both of which she wears often and look great with her dark hair. I chose the Aspinal Midi Madison Tote in Peony Saffiano. She always wears cute purses for Wimbledon and I don't think she has a pink purse yet. I coordinated that purse with the Gianvito Rossi Portofino sandals in the same pale pink. The sandals are a bit trendy with the ankle strap, but I think they would look amazing on her."


Philly - "Okay. Here goes. Erdem Polly Dress: The photos include a back belt option which Catherine likes. I chose this as redemption for some of her Erdem choices of the past. There were other lovely options in the 2019 collection I also thought highly suitable, but this one is youthfully fresh and works equally for Catherine and Wimbledon. Just because she’s never quite jazzy enough for me with her shoes I chose the Peep toe Point Shoes in Black to riff off the belt. Then this Valentino Shoulder Bag to complement the green tones in the dress. She could also carry her favourite white tote instead, but something new is always nice. White Butterfly Sunglasses by Chanel and Blue Moonstone earrings or she could select from several of the blue, green or pearl options she already owns. Add her go-to Cartier watch and style the hair either half up or in a messy ponytail so that the earrings aren’t lost in her gorgeous hair. Frankly, I’d like to see her try a messy bun, but I doubt that will ever happen. If it does, I’ll eat bluhare’s hat."


Maria - Like several others, Maria's eye was caught by a jumpsuit. The Emilia Wickstead vivid green Cloqué Jumpsuit is styled with Kate's Office Nina Sandals the YSL uptown tote in shiny medium leather, Kate's Cassandra Goad Temple of Heaven sandals and Givenchy sunglasses.


We'll be back with a bumper Part 3 with the remaining looks!
