Kim Sears flies the fashion flag at Wimbledon in Kate Middleton's absence, but do we spy some serious similarities?

Andy Murray's girlfriend wows the fash pack courtside with a whole series of bang-on-trend looks, but has Kate Middleton inspired her style?

With Kate Middleton (and the rest of the planet) preparing for the imminent arrival of the royal baby, we almost overlooked the fact she'd be missing from Wimbledon this year.

Seeing as the Duchess of Cambridge has become about as permanent a fixture at the tennis as Andy Murray, we were left wondering if we'd have anyone to direct our hair/bag/dress envy at this year.

But then a swish of glossy hair and a Mulberry Willow tote appeared on our TV screens and we were reminded that, oh yes, thank heavens for Kim Sears.

The 25-year-old artist and well-known Tennis WAG of Murray has been a style force to be reckoned with over the years - but it's this 2013 that she's really upped her game.

And with incredible timing too, as with Kate out of action we've struggled to tear our eyes away from her Mulberry handbag collection, cute floral dresses and teetering wedges to focus on the action on court.

At last night's nail-biting match between Murray and Verdasco, Kim teamed her monochrome palazzo trousers with a white shift top, offsetting her look with a coral suit jacket and her trusty Willow.

But our favourite look on Kim so far has to have been the 3/4-length sleeved floral Zara number she debuted on Monday, teaming it with her nude Mulberry Willow (dribbles) and that swishy mane.

Then there was the sunshine-yellow Ted Baker skater dress she teamed with a trusty denim jacket and beige wedges, opting for a chic trench coat over a pair of chic chinos earlier in the tournament.

And let's not forget the sky-blue Zara jacket she kicked off Wimbledon 2013 proceedings with, pairing it over a smart pair of blue jeans and a cream blouse with an orange stripe.

Kim's Wimbledon style is all about chic tailoring and, rather importantly in our eyes, comfort - opting for bang-on-trend SS13 prints, bold colours and offsetting it with nude leather accessories (notably Mulberry).

But one of our favourite things about her look (other than that Middleton-esque mane), is her love of high street mixed in with designer, which affords us the chance to steal her style too.

So in honour of Kim Sears taking the Wimbledon style mantle in Kate's absence, we reveal her best fashion points so far...
