Just call it a fashion grand slam.

Kate Middleton delighted royal fans by attending the men’s singles finalat the Wimbledon tennis championships on Sunday, hitting the courts in a Safiyaa London Cecilia dress ($1,766) in her second public appearance of 2024.

The Princess of Wales, 42 — who announced she was battling cancer in March — looked radiant in her lilac-colored gown, which featured a twisted bodice, structured sleeves and was belted at the waist.

She also wore a nude LK Bennett Milly leather mini bag ($245), tan Camilla Elphick Lucia slingback pumps ($395) and black Victoria Beckham VB644S sunglasses ($220).

Middleton was accompaniedby her and Prince William’s 9-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, who looked gorgeous in a navy blue-and-white polka dot dress and white ballet flats.

Middleton — who made her first public appearance of the year at Trooping the Colour last month — serves as the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club’s royal patron, and will present the trophy to the winner of Sunday’s match.

This marks her first time attending Wimbledon in 2024, although her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, attended two matches during the series.

Queen Camilla also made an appearance at the tennis tournament, sparking debate about her accessories as King Charles III’s wife toted a Lady Dior purse, which was made famous by the late Princess Diana.

Proud mom Carole, 69, however, wore one of her daughter’s favorite brands, Me+Em, during both of her Wimbledon appearances this month.

The princess has worn a number of chic and summery dresses and skirts while taking in the tennis action over the years, ranging from a playfully patterned Alexander McQueen dress to a mint green Self-Portrait look.

And although Middleton seemingly felt well enough to carry out her duties at Wimbledon, don’t expect a full return to royal life just yet.

In June, the royal wrote on Instagram that she was hoping “to join a few public engagements over the summer” but also realized she wasn’t “out of the woods yet.”

“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty,” she penned at the time. “Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”
