When I think about Kate Winslet’s style, there are a few looks I’ve seen her in a lot. The first is relatable – comfortable jeans, boots and blazer; the second is confidence-boosting, sharp tailoring; and the third is high-octane red carpet gowns.<\/p>\n

It feels like a rarity to spot her in a summer-ready midi dress, which is why the flattering blue style she wore to watch the tennis at Wimbledon back in 2022 is well worth revisiting. It looks to me like a design by British clothing brand<\/a> Temperley London – similar to this so-called ‘Heaven’ dress.<\/a><\/p>\n

I love the icy blue hue as well as the scalloped edges on the sleeves and hemline, but what really stands out about this feminine dress to me is the flattering shape. The V-neckline has an elongating effect, and it’s perfectly balanced out by the sleeves. The layered pendant necklaces add a bit of extra glamour, too. The elbow-length sleeves offer a great amount of arm coverage, which I always feel more confident in rather than sleeveless dresses, plus the midi length is so easy to wear.<\/p>\n

A wrap-over shape is another very flattering option, and the pleats in this dress will move beautifully when you walk. This is a strong contender if you’re going to a wedding abroad. <\/p>\n

Pale Blue Bow Puff Sleeve V-Neck Midi Dress<\/p>\n

I adore the dusky blue colour and unique 3D bow embellishment on this dress, which is perfect for a special occasion. It would work well with flats or heels and is available in both regular and petite lengths. <\/p>\n

Suede Kitten Heel Pointed Court Shoes<\/p>\n

These kitten heels are a close match for Kate’s coffee-coloured court heels. They’re a really manageable height for standing up all day and dancing long into the night! <\/p>\n

Mint Velvet<\/p>\n

Gold Tone Triple Layered Necklace<\/p>\n

Kate really layered up when it came to jewellery, wearing multiple necklaces, bracelets and even a pair of gold drop earrings. This Mint Velvet necklace is an easy shortcut to the tricky art of jewellery stacking. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kate’s Temperley blue dress is particularly clever because what looks like a lace fabric is actually “a chiffon fabric embroidered with botanical motifs for an all-over lace effect”. The brand is a favourite of Kate Middleton’s, and it’s a great choice for an occasion like a day out at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

The A-line shape is universally flattering whatever your figure, and the dress being such a departure from Kate’s usual style is testament to quite how good it is. It looks just as elegant now in 2026 as it did four years ago, which is why there are plenty of similar options out there on the high street to help you get the look if you have an occasion in the diary.<\/p>\n
