Wimbledon is almost upon us, which means it won’t be long until sports fans and celebrities gather court-side to take in all the tennis action. That often includes the Princess of Wales, Zara Tindall and Anna Wintour, who always bring their A-game when it comes to their outfit choices.
If you're lucky enough to have a ticket to SW19, you're probably wondering what to wear to Wimbledon. One of the big names who consistently aces it with her wardrobe is Sienna Miller, and I’m already excited to see if she'll be there this year. The star always looks fabulous, and the stunning polka dot shirt and skirt ensemble she opted for in summer 2024 was up there with her best.
Sienna wore a matching white cropped blouse and swishy skirt by Prada, and each piece was covered with mini brown spots. The actress finished it with a simple white bag and strappy heels, and it was the perfect look for a day at Centre Court.
I imagine that there will be plenty of dotty dresses and skirts at the sporting event this year (which starts on 30th June, and runs until 13th July), as polka dots are a huge spring/summer fashion trend. I have rounded up some winning designer copycats below to recreate Sienna's look, whatever your budget.
Shop the look
This skirt is very similar to Sienna's and will look gorgeous for a day in the sun. Wear with pastel tones or some soft nude separates and finish with fuss-free heels for an elegant feel.
The belt on this midi dress cinches in the middle to add plenty of shape and to make sure it flatters in all the right places. Wear with a blazer and court shoes for a day at the office.
Tops with gentle peplum details help to accentuate natural curves or can create them on straighter body shapes. Team this one with tailored trousers and you'll be all set.
I love this vintage-style tea dress, which feels very pretty but with a modern twist. Team it with Mary Jane shoes or simple ballet flats to complete the look.
The black contrast piping on this blouse adds a little more oomph to the mini spot print and it'll look fabulous tucked into a leather pencil skirt as a fresh take on date night outfits.
This made our list of the best wedding guest dresses, but it would also be great for a smart event like Wimbledon or Royal Ascot. Keep your accessories to a minimum and let this dress have its moment.
When it comes to trying this patterned trend, you have plenty of options. Wear a matching set like Sienna, simply pair up a spotted blouse with your best barrel leg jeans, or add a colour pop T-shirt to a dotted skirt and sandal combination.
Spots are an evergreen print that will work seamlessly from season to season and year to year, so find your piece now and you’ll love it forever.
