Alex Eala and Zeynep Sönmez arrived wearing their tennis kits straight off the court, while Kate Middleton opted for a tailored outfit worth a small fortune. Despite their different styles, all three looked completely at ease standing side by side for a photo at Wimbledon.
Kate is noticeably taller than both players in the photo, prompting many people to double-take online. Eala and Sönmez stand on either side of her, looking like athletes just off the court. Casual, sporty and utterly polished all at once, it is easy to see why so many people are now hunting down this Wimbledon outfit for themselves.
Eala's Swooshes Meet Royal Tailoring
If you want to shop Eala's look, Nike's Court collection is the place to start. Eala kept things soft and pretty in a lilac crewneck sweatshirt with a tonal Nike swoosh that was loose enough to appear casually thrown on, despite being on the way to meet the Princess of Wales. Underneath was a white pleated Nike tennis dress that moved gracefully with her steps. Her trainer of choice is the Nike Zoom Vapors, instantly recognisable for that mint-green swoosh wrapped around the heel.
This is not the first time Eala is seen sporting a Nike outfit. She has worked with Nike for a while now, including a limited-edition tee dotted with the sampaguita, the Philippines' national flower, a nod to her heritage that has become a collector's item among fans back home.
Sönmez's Dress That Looks Sharper Than It Plays
Sönmez wore a sharp, tailored Asics tennis dress in bright white that looks more like a piece of art on her than sportswear. A high crew neck and vertical flatlock panels gave it structure up top, while the skirt flounced into loose pleats that swung with every stride, playful against the otherwise sculptural cut.
On her feet, chunky white Asics Gel-Court trainers were left loosely laced rather than tied tight, a classic tour habit for slipping shoes on and off between matches. Look to Asics' tennis dress and Gel-Court ranges if this is the wardrobe you are after.
Kate's Blazer Doing All the Work
No one does a polished look quite like the Princess of Wales. She opted for a sapphire blue Gabriela Hearst double-breasted linen blazer with matching wide-leg trousers, sharp tailoring that photographed beautifully against the green of Centre Court. She paired it with a simple white off-the-shoulder rib-knit top from H&M underneath to prevent her outfit from looking stiff. It's a great example of mixing high-end tailoring with affordable fashion.
Over on Reddit, reactions ranged from fond to sidetracked. One fan expressed surprise at how tall Kate appeared in person. In contrast, others focused on her tennis allegiances, noting her support for Emma Raducanu and her family's connections to Roger Federer. However, most comments returned to a common theme: all three women looked beautiful and classy standing together.
Eala shared the moment herself on her Instagram Story, calling it an honour to grab a photo with 'Her Royal Highness'. It capped a brilliant week for the 21-year-old, who beat Maya Joint before stunning defending champion Iga Świątek days later.
