Royal fans were delighted to see the Princess of Wales make an appearance at the Wimbledon men's final with her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
Kate, 42, wore a bright purple short-sleeved midi dress with nude strappy backless heels and a matching leather handbag with gold hardware.
Having opted for green last year, the Princess stayed true to the Wimbledon colours and chose a deep purple to complement her signature dark green and purple bow.
Kate accessorized her look with gold jewelry, opting for a chunky bracelet and teardrop-shaped gold earrings. The princess was accompanied by her daughter, Princess Charlotte, and her sister, Pippa Middleton.
Princess Charlotte, 9, wore a navy and white polka dot dress by Guess for teens with white leather shoes – a tribute to her mother's 2022 look.
As patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Kate has participated in the tournament every year since being granted patronage by Queen Elizabeth II in 2016.
However, Kate's first real appearance at the tournament was in 2011, just over two months after she married the Prince of Wales, when the couple watched Andy Murray play Richard Gasquet in a fourth-round match.
Kate wore a white tiered dress by British label Temperley, which she paired with a Stuart Weitzman Muse clutch. The princess, who usually favors white on the runway, imitated the style in 2012, 2014 and 2019.
Kate's Wimbledon wardrobe opts for bright whites or striking summer hues. In 2021 and 2022, the princess wore striking ochre and emerald dresses by London labels Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda.
Kate also embraces classic prints and silhouettes inspired by her late mother-in-law, Diana, Princess of Wales, sporting an 1980s-style Balmain suit jacket at Wimbledon 2023.
The princess favours polka dots for British sporting events, and also wore them at Royal Ascot in 2022, where Kate wore a dress by designer Alessandra Rich, an Italian-born label that launched in London in 2009.
Kate frequently updates her favourite designer's designs, and at Wimbledon 2022 she wore two Alessandra Rich polka dot dresses in navy and a striking sky blue.
This year, however, it was Princess Charlotte who wore the classic navy and white polka dot look with white accessories and a navy hair bow.
In recent years, Kate has opted for more muted summery pastels for Wimbledon, a trend that many royals have followed, from Princess Eugenie to Zara Tindall.
With an authentically confident style, Kate's indigo look was emblematic of the classic, timeless style she is famous for.
