Keira Knightley's elegant pussybow dress at Wimbledon puts this Kate Middleton-approved trend back on our radar
Her flattering dress is a lesson in timeless style
Keira Knightley is a Wimbledon regular, so it was no surprise to spot the actress amongst the arrivals for the men's semi-finals at SW19 today.
This time, she chose an incredibly elegant pussybow dress by Ralph Lauren, which was, of course, in Wimbledon white. The long sleeves, midi length and belted waist made it very flattering, and the frill detailing on the neckline is a subtle touch. When paired with a sculptural mini bag and a pair of strappy sandals, it was perfect for a warm day on Centre Court.
Kate Middleton is a big fan of vintage-inspired pussybow necklines, and they're a really versatile choice since styling the ties in different ways can completely change the look. Keira wore hers in a nautical-esque knot, whilst a bow would feel very polished.
Her dress appears to be from a couple of seasons ago, proving its timeless sophistication. So instead, copy Keira with the selection of similar Wimbledon whites I've found for you on the virtual high street.
Shop the look
This cream version is currently out of stock, but you can buy it in classic black or tan. It's the perfect size for all your essentials for a day out, and I love the distinctive shape.
If you need a last minute outfit for the Wimbledon finals on Sunday, this should be top of your wishlist. It looks much more expensive than its sale price, plus it's lightweight for the warm weather, but offers you plenty of coverage.
This dress is made from a blend of breathable cotton and linen. The fitted bodice and flared skirt help create an hourglass silhouette, and it's got a real vintage glamour to it.
If you're off to an event where you may do a lot of walking on grass, this heel is perfect. It's wide enough that you won't sink into grass, and low enough that you won't be desperate to take them off as soon as you leave your house.
If you're willing to invest big in the tie neck dress trend, Self-Portrait is the place to go. The pleats in this skirt will move beautifully when you walk, plus the butter yellow colour is very pretty.
These Mint Velvet shoes are flying off the shelves, and it's easy to see why. The neutral colour will work with any outfit in your summer capsule wardrobe, and the square toe feels like a modern alternative to strappy sandals you might already have.
When it comes to styling a pussybow dress, follow Keira's lead and leave earrings and necklaces at home. Her short bob showed off the neckline in all its glory, but if you've got long hair, wearing it swept up will allow the statement bow to shine.
