February is Fashion Month, March has the Oscars, and May (specifically the first Monday of the month) lays claim to the Met Gala. And while the summer may signal festival szn to some, for those of us who recognise our year based on the fashion calendar, July is all about Wimbledon.
As the oldest tennis tournament in the world, the Wimbledon Championships is a big deal – like huge. (I mean, there’s a reason a whole film based on the tournament exists, shout out Kirsten Dunst as Lizzie Bradbury.) But aside from the incredible tennis that obvs happens on court, our other favourite spectator sport of the event is spotting all the first-class celebrity fashion moments happening on the sidelines.
The annual tournament is the perfect opportunity for celebs to showcase their fave summer outfits and unlike red carpet events, we actually stand a chance at being able to recreate the celeb style on offering. What’s not to love about a little fashion inspo to go with your strawberries and cream?
