Katie Boulter loves the “style and tradition” of Wimbledon.
The 28-year-old British tennis ace loves the fact the tournament allows players to “express” themselves on the court and while she doesn’t think she could pull off a particularly daring look, she’s keen to walk out in an oversized blazer.
She told the Sunday Times’ Style magazine: “I live for the Serena Williams long white train moment! That was epic in every way. She’s probably the only person who could pull it off. I love that side of Wimbledon — it’s not just about the tennis but also about the style, the tradition and expressing yourself.
“I’ve always wanted to walk out on centre court in a blazer, ever since I saw Roger [Federer] do it when I was a kid. Now oversized jackets are really in, I would love to rock up on court wearing an understated white blazer — that would be a moment.”
Katie is “very into fashion” and enjoys moving away from sportswear when she isn’t on court.
She said: “I have two sides to me: tennis Katie who loves to wear match clothes to get into game mode.
“Then there’s this whole other side to me who is very into fashion, whether it’s classic jeans and a nice top or a dress for date nights. I want to feel like a person who is something else besides a tennis player.”
Katie has regular lash lifts because she doesn’t think her mascara would stand up to the intensity of her time on court.
Asked her beauty essentials, she said: “Getting my LVL lash lift done. I don’t want to wear mascara when I’m playing sports because I’m worried it’ll streak everywhere. I’ve tried loads of tinted SPFs and they break me out, but since I discovered Shiseido Anessa suncare in Japan last year, it’s the first thing I put on every day. It makes you look glowy but not too shiny.”
