Olympic gold medallist and sports presenter Dame Denise Lewis was spotted at the Wimbledon Championships this week wearing an elegant blue and white floral printed silk tea dress – and the best part is that you can buy it today.
If you're looking for an elevated take on what to wear in the heat and you are fortunate enough to have special occasions filling your summer calendar, Denise's dress is not only a standout choice, but it's also from one of the best British clothing brands – Rixo.
Lewis sported the Evie Silk Midi Dress, which features a silk crepe de chine fabric, luxurious ruffles, a subtle V-neckline, and waist-cinching ties. The print is made from a bright cerulean blue floral and zig-zag lines set on a white-base.
To style her Rixo dress, she opts for elegant blue strap wedge sandals that echo the dress's punchy colourway and a simple silver necklace and rectangular silver hoop earrings. If you're looking for your own Wimbledon fashion moment, Denise's exact dress has limited sizes in stock; however, we've rounded up some fabulous styles that have the same look and feel for you to shop.
