Kate arrived at Wimbledon in a frankly awesome cream pleated cable knit dress by Alexander McQueen, channeling tennis fashions from the flapper era.

She previously wore the $1500 gown a year ago to the day, when she made a trip to Prince Edward Island during her tour of Canada in 2011.

She was accompanied by William today. The young royal's visit comes after Carole and Michael Middleton were seated in the Royal box yesterday.

Kate and Wills watched Federer take on Youzhny on Centre Court.

The crowd, however, only had eyes for Kate.
