All hail the opening day of SportsFaces Season! (And, yes, that IS Dominic Cooper dramatically reacting to something behind her.)

The dress is Dolce & Gabbana -- IT'S ON SALE! (for still a lot of money) -- but the shoes are a high street brand I've never heard of, called Office, and they're a v. reasonable sixty-two pounds*. (The bag is her Victoria Beckham, and we've seen it a few times and I LOVE IT.) Overall, I think this outfit is super successful; summery and fun.

There is something endearing to me about the fact that her purse also gets a little squashed in the car on the way over. Here, she's chatting with servicepeople...

...and here, the ball boys and girls. Everyone is excited for Wimbledon opening day! (Including me, although of course I miss Serena. I'm sure all the other women tennis players, however, are thrilled to bits that Serena is currently busy being pregnant. "This is my shot!" at least all of them thought.)

I expect there will be much discussion of this new haircut. I think it's good, and it's nice for her to mix it up -- Kate has great hair, and ergo her hair generally looks good, regardless. She's also working more low-lights at the moment; the color looks great. I personally prefer it longer on her, but I am also a person who devotes an inordinate amount of time and money on my own long hair, SO. I have my own biases, is what I am saying.
