Princess Charlotte follows in her mother’s fashionista footsteps

Prince George and Princess Charlotte take their seats in the royal box at Wimbledon having met British doubles champs, the first all British pair to win the title since the reign of Edward VIII.

Princess Charlotte was a mini fashion star at the Wimbledon men’s singles final, following in the Princess of Wales’s footsteps with a familiar style: her white dress was a bespoke Sarah Burton design from Givenchy.

The young royal joined her parents and older brother, Prince George, for the match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Her dress was cream with ruffles along the bodice, piped with deep blue.

Catherine wore a cobalt blue dress by Roksanda while William wore a blue suit jacket paired with white trousers, and Prince George wore a blue suit.

Sarah Burton has famously been Catherine’s go-to designer for major royal events—starting with her wedding dress in 2011 and including dresses worn at Remembrance Sunday, for state banquets, and the gown she wore to King Charles’s coronation in 2023.

Last week, Catherine stepped out for the French State Banquet in a startling deep red Givenchy gown; the first time she’d worn one of Burton’s designs since she took over the French fashion house in 2024.

This is the second time that Princess Charlotte has worn Sarah Burton’s designs. At her grandfather’s coronation in May 2023, she wore a custom Alexander McQueen dress to match her mother.

Burton was creative director of Alexander McQueen from 2010 to 2023. She became Givenchy’s creative director in September 2024.
