Kate Middleton Basically Twinned With Meghan Markle at Wimbledon
A day that we don’t hear about an outfit Kate Middleton‘s wearing is a rare day indeed: We love peeping in on her designer wardrobe, though when it comes to color, she tends to stick with neutral, refined tones versus a super-bright shade.
Not so at Wimbledon on Sunday, when she followed up her duchesses’ day out yesterday with Meghan Markle with a day date with husband, Prince William. Par for the court (so to speak), knowing what we know about Middleton’s love for the game. What was a surprise? The canary yellow dress she wore—and looked great in—while taking in the action.
It just so happens to resemble a certain co-duchess’s own canary-yellow dress.
If this is proof that the sisters-in-law are swapping fashion tips, then we’re here for it.
Here’s Kate looking amazing at Sunday’s match in her fluttery-sleeve, Dolce & Gabbana dress. It hails from the line’s Resort 2017 collection and is very much out of stock. She also brought back the line’s Miss Sicily handbag from yesterday (switching bags is annoying, even for a royal).

Yesterday, of course, Middleton and Markle weren’t matching for the, well, match. But we’ve seen Markle wearing something very, very similar to Middleton’s dress for Wimbledon. Markle’s Brandon Maxwell version made its debut for the Your Commonwealth Youth Challenge reception on July 5:

As it turns out, Middleton’s worn a similar dress before, too—way back when: She was wearing a similar silhouette but with longer, more fitted sleeves all the way back in 2015. And yep, the Roksanda Ilincic dress made its appearance at Wimbledon (it was first worn for a 2014 trip to Sydney):

Who knows? Maybe Markle and Middleton are taking inspiration from each other’s wardrobes, or maybe this is Middleton’s lucky color for the player she’s cheering for. Either way, bring on the brights, Kate—you look great.
