While everyone is glued to the Wimbledon action, analyzing who showed up, what they wore, and whether Kate Middleton will be attending this year despite her cancer battle, let's talk about another stylish figure: Pippa Middleton.
Pippa, Kate's sister, made her return to the public eye this week at Wimbledon, marking her first public appearance in months. Following Kate's cancer diagnosis, Pippa stepped back from the spotlight, reportedly supporting her sister behind the scenes. Her last official outing was in December 2023.
Now, Pippa is back, showcasing her distinct Wimbledon style, a stark contrast to her sister's preferred look.
On July 12th, Pippa arrived with her husband, James Matthews, on day twelve of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, donning a stunning wide-legged, floral-patterned jumpsuit from the brand Claire Mischevani, the "Mimi" jumpsuit.
This bold choice reminds us of the pink floral dress she wore at the 2019 Wimbledon event, highlighting a consistent element in Pippa's Wimbledon wardrobe: a preference for colorful and patterned ensembles.
Since her first Wimbledon appearance in 2011, Pippa has consistently embraced floral, striped, or bold blocked patterns, with only a few exceptions in 2011, 2013, 2017, and 2019, where she opted for simpler styles.
In contrast, Kate's Wimbledon style leans towards bold colors, but with simpler, often dress-based outfits. Her go-to choice is a dress, sometimes with a skirt, with only a few deviations from this pattern: a Jonathan Saunders Midi-Dress in 2015, a busy Alexander McQueen dress in 2016, and a floral Catherine Walker dress in 2017.
Despite their similarities, Pippa and Kate's distinct Wimbledon styles add a captivating layer to the event, showcasing their individual personalities and fashion preferences.
