The best Wimbledon fashion moments through the years

Updated

In the last several years, Wimbledon has become the place to be for fashionably-clad celebrities, British royals, and socialites in the early summer. It's the oldest tennis championship in the world, but while it's always been a main attraction for sports fans, style has begun to take a front seat (quite literally, when we're talking about the royal box).

Ralph Lauren often throws an elegant star-studded dinner or pre-Wimbledon cocktail party, but more and more of Hollywood's elite are attending the matches. And truly, we've found the best place to witness the evolving fashion of Wimbledon is court side: on the likes of the Duchess of Cambridge, Victoria Beckham, Kim Sears (Andy Murray's wife) and more.

While the players are clad in all white, the audience gets totally decked out. Kate Middleton, for example, has been spotted sitting front row in bright yellow, gorgeous red, even a blue and green patterned dress. And her sister Pippa has been seen in pinks, purples, and blues.

Click through above to see the best Wimbledon fashion through the years -- from Kate and Pippa to Sienna and Jude, Queen Elizabeth, and more.

The 2017 championship takes place from June 25 - July 15. If you find yourself in London in the next few weeks, you certainly ought to stop by. Now, whether you'll be there for the fashion or the tennis ... well that's up to you.
