Introduction to Wimbledon Fashion
The annual Wimbledon tournament has long been associated with reserved elegance, but this year’s event has seen a significant shift in fashion statements. The spectator areas have been converted into an unexpected runway, with guests making bold and courageous fashion choices.
A Shift in Fashion Trends
According to model and presenter Leomie Anderson, who is attending the event as a Clearpay fashion expert, "A real shift is happening. People have played it with blazers, MIDI dresses, the usual suspect. But this year the crowd is serving. It’s as if everyone has gotten the memo that Wimbledon is just as much about style as it is about sport." This sartorial revolution is supported by data from Clearpay, which shows a significant boom in Broderie Anglaise, a delicate embroidered fabric, with maxi dresses in the style rising by 147 percent and 33 percent.
Celebrity Fashion Highlights
Several celebrities have made notable fashion statements at the tournament. Olivia Rodrigo, for example, wore a red Gingham shirt dress by Ralph Lauren, a playful nod to Wimbledon’s legendary strawberries and cream. Anna and Michael Murray also made a statement, with Anna wearing a tulle-black-white-daben-midi dress with black suede pumps and black leather border. Cate Blanchett stood out in a Prince of Wales Check suit by Giorgio Armani, a classic and elegant choice.
More Celebrity Fashion Choices
Other celebrities who have made fashion headlines at Wimbledon include Leslie Mann, who wore an Ivory-Dior-Riegel jacket and a delicate top skirt, and David Beckham, who wore a cream-colored silk line suit from his own collaboration with Boss. Dominic Cooper decided to go for a bright powder blue suit with suitable trainers, a bold and brave choice. Tom Daley wore a Paul Smith suit in dusky teal, a cool and contemporary choice. Judy Murray chose a sunshine-yellow dress with white platform coaches, a happy and trendy choice.

Butter yellow has emerged as a dominant trend, with several celebrities incorporating the color into their outfits. Broderie Anglaise is also having a big moment, with Rebel Wilson’s pink Broderie Anglaise Temperley London dress being a particular highlight. Alexander Armstrong wore a royal blue linen suit, a striking alternative to the classic navy.
