Multi-talented actress and fashion icon Zendaya, captivated the audience at Wimbledon with an outfit that exuded elegance.

Zendaya’s outfit was a masterclass in the oversized, cool collegiate style that defined an era. Her look, curated entirely by Ralph Lauren, paid homage to the iconic style and charm reminiscent of Princess Diana, blending preppy 80s aesthetics with modern sophistication.

The Euphoria star donned a classic herringbone blazer, paired with a light blue button-down shirt, left casually untucked to enhance the relaxed yet polished vibe. Adding to the preppy flair was a striped knit tie, loosely knotted, which introduced a playful yet refined element to the ensemble.

Diana was no stranger to menswear, and often pushed the boundaries of traditional royal attire with her unique style. One of the most memorable moments was when she wore an elephant-patterned tie in 1994, when she visited St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington to visit her new-born nephew Louis, Viscount Althorp.

Diana was not afraid to take risks when it came to her personal style

The princess donned a sharp, tailored blazer paired with a crisp white shirt and a polka-dotted tie. Her ability to mix traditional masculine elements with her signature feminine grace was second to none.

Zendaya’s choice of high-waisted, wide-leg jeans balanced the outfit, bringing a contemporary twist to the traditional preppy look. The jeans provided a relaxed silhouette, while the pair of retro pearl earrings only added further to the royal aesthetic; reminiscent of Diana’s long-standing penchant for pearls. Carrying a Louis Vuitton purse, Zendaya completed her look with a nod to timeless luxury.
