The 2026 Wimbledon Championships are currently underway, running from June 29 to July 12, 2026.
Pippa Middleton is a frequent attendee, often drawing attention for her standout Wimbledon style.
An InStyle editor revisits one of Middleton's most daring looks from 2017, highlighting its bold use of a trending summer shade.
Great news for tennis (and Royals) devotees, Wimbledon is officially underway! While headlines are currently focused on the Williams' sisters reunion and Naomi Osaka's tournament entrance, there's always another layer of fascination at play: tenniscore style, especially when it intersects with the Royal family.
Unlike the players, who must adhere to Wimbledon's famously strict all-white dress code—an enduring symbol of the tournament's tradition and prestige—celebrity and royal guests have long used the stands as a showcase for standout fashion moments. Unsurprisingly, some of these looks have sparked just as much conversation as the matches themselves.

Looking back to 2017, Pippa Middleton attended day seven of the championships in a daring look that deserves a second glance. The British socialite and younger sister of Kate Middleton wore a summery mint green dress featuring a plunging neckline and off-the-shoulder silhouette. And with so many dress codes in mind for the family, this was an unconventional choice in a setting defined by formality and tradition. At the time, it made an impression; today, its soft green hue feels especially relevant again, aligning with one of summer's recurring color trends.

Middleton paired the mint green dress from British designer Tephi with tortoise shell sunglasses and a cream fold-over clutch, keeping the accessories understated yet polished. The "Rome" dress itself is crafted from 100 percent silk and features a sweetheart neckline that flatters its softly structured silhouette. Originally retailing for $521, the style has since sold out—but luckily, it's an easy one to recreate thanks to Middleton's reliably simple courtside formula.

Royal-watching fans are expected to keep a close eye on the Royal box as the tournament continues, where familiar faces often make appearances. Pippa and Kate Middleton are frequently spotted attending matches together, while younger royals and relatives—including Amelia Spencer—are also seen carrying on the family's long-standing love of tennis. Even a young Prince George is already following the family's footsteps as an emerging tennis enthusiast, proving that Wimbledon season is very much a family affair.

The most recent sighting of Pippa Middleton at Wimbledon came in 2024, when she opted for a more covered, ruffled floral Beulah midi dress. One slightly unexpected detail? Kate Middleton's sister isn't shy about an outfit repeat—she previously wore the same dress to her brother James Middleton's wedding in 2021.
