For Wimbledon's final day of play, Catherine, Princess of Wales, arrived at Centre Court in her best look of the tournament so far, wearing a vibrant, cobalt-blue dress with a large sun hat to protect from the heat, as well as large sunglasses and a slew of beautiful jewelry items, including a Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch and her favorite Daniella Draper pendant necklace. When she stood following the Gentlemen's Singles matchup to award first-time Wimbledon winner Jannik Sinner with his trophy, we got the complete view of her courtside ensemble, including her choice of footwear. Instead of classic black or Wimbledon white, Kate Middleton chose another chic color for the occasion, a light toffee brown, which will no doubt become *the* summer shoe color of 2025.
Her heels, called the Celia Pump, are from Ralph Lauren Collection and come in both black and Middleton's preferred color, RL Gold, which is a soft brown with an orange tint. They're made of full-grain calfskin leather in Italy, and feature a high four-inch heel. Though, the height didn't seem to bother the royal one bit.
On Kate Middleton: Ralph Lauren Collection Celia Calfskin Pump ($750); LK Bennett hat; Ralph by Ralph Lauren RA5305U Sunglasses ($106); Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier Watch ($6200); Daniella Draper Gold 8 Diamond Luxury Forever Trace Chain Necklace ($4400)
Given the color of Middleton's dress, she could've worn any color shoe really, but the one she chose felt extra summery and elegant—a perfect pick for a warm day at Wimbledon. Plus, they were unexpected, adding even more of a stylistic touch to her ensemble.
If you too have a summer event coming up that calls for a timeless pump, go Middleton's route by skipping white or black and wearing brown heels instead.
