The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of Wimbledon made her first appearance of the 2019 Championships today.
Kate sported a new white shirt dress for the outing at The All England Club.
It is the 'Flippy Wiggle' dress (£1,850) from British designer Suzannah. Made in London, the design of the dress derives inspiration from a late 1940’s Wiggle Dress, which Suzannah have re-cut to have a skimming fit over the bodice and fluid gentle soft movement throughout the skirt hemline. The silhouette is contoured around the waist with delicate pin-tucks and a matching belt. Pin-tucks are also placed at the front yoke detail. The tea-length dress is fashioned with contrasting silk covered buttons, and half sleeves with buttoned cuff. The dress is made from Italian silk crepe and is lined throughout the bodice and skirt in lightweight silk habotai.
The Duchess replaced the dress belt with a contrasting black Alexander McQueen bow-front leather waist belt.
I initially thought it was the same one she wore with her black tweed Alexander McQueen dress in Paris during the 2017 visit, however British Royal Fashion Data points out that they are different.
She offset the monochrome outfit with a new two-tone bag.

On her feet Kate wore her black Gianvito Rossi 'Piper' 85 suede pumps.

We saw the return of the mystery citrine ring which is believed to date back to 2008.

Kate finished the look with her Catherine Zoraida Gold Fern Hoop Earrings.
We now know the secret to Kate's luscious lips! She uses Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector Lip Gloss (US$26). It is a softly textured lip gel with a deliciously sweet scent and 3D shimmer. It's sheer, but shaded enough to wear alone or to complement your favorite lip shade. You can find a list of Kate's favourite beauty products here.
You gotta love Kate's facial expressions at Wimbledon :)
The bow pinned to Kate's dress in the official colours of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club - dark green and purple, is given to members of the club.

Accessories really make this dress. Especially the pin.

She is almost always spot on with her outfits but I wish she would leave the dinky, little, top satchel bags in the shops. The colors, construction, and styles are beautiful but the small size doesn't suit her and makes he look like she's carrying a little girl bag...

I love this dress, its beautiful. The texture of the Italian silk crepe and lining would feel lovely against the skin. The cut and how it flows is just right. Not keen on the belt at all. Love her accessories, the bag is gorgeous.

I absolutely adore this look! It's classic and modern at once, a very chic look of the Duchess. I only wish I could afford this dress! The bag is divine, the belt is a nice addition despite some online criticism that I have read. I am not sure about the shoes, maybe I would have preferred a pair of sandals, but this style is a signature of Kate. Her hair looks so healthy and shiny! Oh the beauty of having a hair stylist at your disposal whenever you need them! Keep up the good work DoC!

Wow! This is a very pretty dress in Wimbledon white, which is well accented in black with the belt and brooch. I hope we see this lovely dress on Kate many times in the future. It is beautifully made and well designed. It looks as though it would be a pleasure to wear.

Yes that's right Stephanie. The bow pinned to her chest in the official colours of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club - dark green and purple, is given to members of the club.

This is one of my favorites. I somehow remembered this ring from somewhere a long time ago but I forgot about it now. I will try my best to find it.

Gorgeous summer outfit for a day out at Wimbledon. The movement of the fabric and length of the dress is spot on. Love the raffia of the handbag to break up the black and white. She looks so happy.

My observations her dress is perfect with a few tweaks in accessories. She wore in Sept, 2015 a thin simple black belt that would have been fine, or just purchase a black leather belt, she has suede black belts. Kate could have wore her Pied A Terre 'Imperia' Black Wedges that would have complimented the new handbag. Her earrings I like, but she could have wore her KIKI Citrine Pear Drop Earrings to match her Citrine cocktail ring. All in all I love the look 💛. In the summer you wear leather and lighter materials and in the colder weather suede and heavyweight materials. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
