King Charles III, the late Princess Diana and more royals have since styled pieces with the Prince of Wales pattern. The blazer of Blanchett's suit featured peak lapels with double-breasted button fastening and a jetted chest pocket. The blazer also featured subtle details, including two front patch pockets, long sleeves and a central rear vent. The trousers in Blanchett's look coordinated seamlessly, featuring a tailored aesthetic. The actress opted for a minimalist approach with her jewelry, save for a silver chain-link bracelet. She also wore a pair of aviator sunglasses. Blanchett has long had a close relationship with Giorgio Armani. In 2018, the actress was named the label's first global beauty ambassador. Prior to her ambassadorship appointment, Blanchett served as the face of the Sì fragrance franchise beginning in 2013. 'Luminous and sophisticated, her natural elegance and distinguished beauty are striking,' Giorgio Armani said of Blanchett in a statement. 'I am pleased to deepen our longstanding relationship.' Armani's beauty business is licensed to L'Oréal. Wimbledon 2025 has already seen several notable attendees.
