Forget about Wimbledon Whites—at Centre Court, *this* was the must-have summer shoe color to pair with dresses.

      On the final day of play at Wimbledon, Catherine, Princess of Wales, made an appearance at Centre Court in her most stylish outfit of the tournament yet. She wore a striking cobalt-blue dress, complemented by a large sun hat for shade and oversized sunglasses, along with a collection of stunning jewelry, including a Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch and her beloved Daniella Draper pendant necklace. As she stood up after the Gentlemen's Singles match to present the trophy to first-time Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner, we got a full glimpse of her courtside outfit, including her footwear choice. Rather than opting for traditional black or Wimbledon white, Kate Middleton selected a sophisticated toffee brown, which is bound to be the standout shoe color for summer 2025. Her heels, the Celia Pump from Ralph Lauren Collection, are available in both black and her favored color, RL Gold, a soft brown with an orange undertone. Crafted from full-grain calfskin leather in Italy, they feature a high four-inch heel, yet the height didn't seem to faze the royal at all.

      Considering the hue of Middleton's dress, she could have easily worn any color of shoe, but her choice felt especially summery and elegant—a perfect selection for a warm day at Wimbledon. Additionally, the unexpected choice added even more stylistic flair to her ensemble. If you have a summer event approaching that requires a classic pump, take a cue from Middleton by opting for brown heels over the usual white or black.
