Lorraine Kelly looks Wimbledon-ready in a floral Karen Millen maxi shirt dress, and these high street sandals
Sophisticated and joyful, this look is ideal for summer event season
Lorraine Kelly was spotted enjoying the first day of Wimbledon, as she attended the sporting event as a guest at the Champagne Lanson suite. Stepping out at SW19, the morning television presenter looked ready to enjoy some exciting sporting action and was appropriately dressed for midsummer temperatures.
Photographed with a glass of bubbly before taking to her seat, Lorraine could be seen wearing Karen Millen’s rose print cotton sateen floral woven belted maxi shirt dress, which she styled with a pair of Hallie cross strap espadrille sandals from Office.
Joining the likes of Mary Berry and Katherine Ryan as stylish celebrities attending day one of the event, Lorraine's flattering shirt dress in appropriate green and white tones was the perfect answer to what to wear to Wimbledon. The rose-printed design felt fresh and contemporary, while the maxi cut, with a waist-flattering tie belt, kept the whole look neat and timeless.
With a maxi hemline and elegant, cuffed short-sleeves, Lorraine's dress ticked the smart casual style box with ease. While Wimbledon overall doesn't have an official dress code for the majority of areas, guests do tend to make an effort and shirt dresses are a particularly popular silhouette as they're a comfortable and stylish choice.
We love it when a celebrity endorses a budget-friendly buy and, at £65.99, Lorraine's real leather espadrille sandals are a great purchase. They have a wedge heel for elevation, while cross straps hug the foot for added support. The metallic colouring adds a gently dressy feel to any look they're paired with.
Like Lorraine's dress, this shirt-style maxi is cut to a flattering A-line silhouette, with bright pops of green creating an eye-catching design. Its high collar frames the fitted bodice beautifully, and the addition of voluminous sleeves adds an airy and light feel.
With flatform soles and a cross-strap silhouette, these gold sandals are a pair that can effortlessly transition from day to evening in summer months. Whether you pair them with jeans for contemporary cool, or add them to maxi dresses for a date night outfit idea.
The weather has been seriously toasty of late, and when it comes to what to wear in the heat, airy silhouettes are a must. This moss green and white printed shirt dress has a trapeze silhouette for a really easy, breezy fit that will work well for sitting at Wimbledon, too.
These affordable New Look sandals are made using faux leather and are completely animal-free, so they've been registered by The Vegan Society. With an espadrille-inspired raffia sole and statement gold straps, they're a great summer holiday option.
When it comes to summer event season, a shirt dress is a solid investment. From all-white iterations that work for polished garden events, summer occasions and work attire, to printed designs that can double as the best summer wedding guest dresses for 2026, this is a shape that never goes out of fashion.
Choosing a floral print, Lorraine Kelly stuck to a tried-and-tested formula, as bold blooms are an elegant and elevated choice for summer style and remain classic, year after year. Opting for Wimbledon-inspired colours of green and white, the presenter looked perfectly kitted out for her sunny afternoon courtside.
One of the best summer dresses, adding a shirt dress to your summer capsule wardrobe is always a good idea, and it's guaranteed to be a style you return to multiple times within the season and for many years to come. Nailing smart casual outfit ideas with ease, while Lorraine didn't need a jacket for the balmy temperatures today, if she did, a white blazer would add further polish to the tailored cut, or for a more casual approach, away from the court, a denim jacket would add an extra laid-back finish.
