Get the celebrity Wimbledon 2026 courtside looks for less

Centre Court’s best-dressed just dropped the year’s most wearable style brief. We’ve done the shopping homework for you.

Wimbledon 2026 is well and truly underway. The 139th edition of the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament (June 29 – July 12) is not only a sporting spectacle but also fashion’s most unexpected front row. While the tennis played is world class, there’s another show that happens courtside, where A-listers, editors, and fashion royalty serve looks that could rival any fashion week attendee list.

The Royal Box and surrounding stands have become the place to be seen, dressed to the nines in everything from crisp whites to sharp suiting. And the good news for you: you don’t need a ticket to London to bring this energy to your wardrobe.

Now, you may be thinking: “it’s winter in South Africa”. But luckily, even for those of us who don’t live in Durban, Wimbledon-inspired looks translate beautifully to our warm-weather days. Think pleasant afternoons lunching, work events, and aspirational weekend dressing. The key is in the layering and the attitude.

This year’s standout looks are anchored in Ralph Lauren (the official tournament outfitter) and a new wave of sharp British tailoring. We’ve spotted the best courtside outfits for you and found simple ways to interpret them with items (some of them at good mid-season sale prices) from your favourite retailers.

Game, set, and match the energy with key pieces from each look…
