Kate Middleton aces summer tailoring at Wimbledon, wearing the sapphire blue trouser suit that’s so easy to recreate on the high street
The Princess of Wales paid a surprise visit to SW19 on day 4
We knew we were likely to see her at the finals of Wimbledon, but the Princess of Wales paid a surprise visit to the Championships on day four, where she met fans queuing to get in, and of course, sat courtside to watch the tennis.
We know how much Kate Middleton loves a trouser suit, and today she debuted a new addition to her ever-growing collection. It's a sapphire blue linen-blend blazer and matching trousers by Gabriela Hearst, which she paired with a high street top from H&M and the £170 'Stella' earrings by Carousel Jewels. Both her tan heels and tortoiseshell sunglasses were by Ralph Lauren.
Not only did the colour match Kate's iconic engagement ring, but the linen-blend fabric was also perfect for looking polished on a hot summer's day. The double-breasted fit of the blazer and the wide-leg cut of the trousers is incredibly flattering, so I hope this suit becomes a new favourite in her royal engagement wardrobe.
I was surprised by how easy it is to recreate this look on the high street, too - just head to Jigsaw or Next.
Recreate Kate's style
Tailoring is something I think a lot of us shy away from, but it can look so smart, and offers a very chic alternative to a dress for summer weddings or big events. This suit is 100% linen, and is currently reduced by a massive 50%.
Kate is a fan of British clothing brand Jigsaw, so it's a great place to start if you're keen to recreate her style. The tapered shape of the trousers will show off a pair of statement shoes.
This isn't the first time Kate has worn her simple white ribbed of the shoulder top from H&M. Her exact one has sold out, but the high street store has plenty of similar basics, like this one, which will look super fresh with bold blue, and allow your tailoring to do all the talking.
It's hard to believe this full suit comes in at under £100, yet looks so incredibly sophisticated. I predict this will fly off the virtual shelves after Kate's appearance at Wimbledon today, so don't wait to snap it up.
These are the same sunglasses Kate wore as she watched tennis at Wimbledon today, and I love the gentle cat eye shape. Tortoiseshell can be much less harsh than black frames, so these are worth investing in.
This enchanting style is a very close match for Kate's lapis and moonstone earrings. They're made from 14k gold-plated sterling silver and are for pierced ears.
woman&home's Fashion Channel Editor Rivkie Baum agrees this look is a stellar choice for a trip to Wimbledon. She told me: "While many spectators have opted for Wimbledon whites, and zesty green hues, Kate Middleton took an entirely different approach for her first 2026, SW19 appearance.
"Selecting a dazzling, sky blue trouser suit by Gabriela Hearst and a high street hero top from H&M, the colour ensured the Princess of Wales stood out from the crowd, whilst subtly nodding to current fashion colour trends. Comfortable for long bouts of sitting, her wide-leg trousers were an excellent choice for appearing courtside, while the blazer offered just the right amount of warmth for a balmy summer's day."
