The Wimbledon Look That Sparked Online Debate

Catherine made her first appearance at the Wimbledon Championships on July 2, watching the day’s matches before meeting children from Shine Camera Club, an initiative that helps young people build confidence and creativity through photography.

Rather than opting for one of the dresses she often wears to Wimbledon, Catherine chose a bright blue Gabriela Hearst suit. According to WWD, she wore the designer’s Stephanie blazer, distinguished by its sharp lapels and accent buttons at the waist, with coordinating Vesta high-waisted wide-leg trousers layered over a ribbed white top.
