Hannah Waddingham joined a bevy of A-list stars and celebrities who attended Wimbledon on Wednesday in London. The Emmy-winning “Ted Lasso” star put her own spin on summertime florals in a sleeveless maxidress at the Grand Slam tennis tournament.
For the occasion, Waddingham wore a selection from Elie Saab‘s resort 2024 collection. The eclectic dress featured a cascading floral motif in shades of purple, with visible green leaves on the skirt and darker, contrasting shades of black on the halter neckline and the skirt.
Along with the floral design of the sleeveless ensemble, Waddingham added a skinny black belt to accentuate the waistline of the maxidress. She completed the look with a pair of sandal shoes, accessorized with minimal pieces of jewelry and carried a white clutch.
