Eleanor Tomlinson got the dress code spot on as she turned up to the seventh day of Wimbledon on Monday.
The 27-year-old Poldark star dressed in a short white dress which had a lace detail and ties at the sleeve, wearing a brown belt which cinched her in at the waist.
She wore a large sunhat and balanced some shades on the neckline of her outfit and the stunning redhead carried a wicker Polo bag in hand.

Game Of Thrones star Maisie, 22, matched her locks to her pink dress as she arrived, wearing casual trainers and posed for snaps with her man, also 22.

Rebel Wilson, Pippa Middleton, Ruth Wilson and US Editor In Chief Anna Wintour were also present.
No doubt the spectators will be keen to check out tennis sensation, Coco Gauff, 15, as she prepares to take on Simona Halep.
The US teenager, who beat her idol Venus Williams last Wednesday, fought back from the brink of defeat to see off Polona Hercog on Friday, will play former world number one Simona for a place in the last eight.
Coco, ranked 313 in the world at the start of Wimbledon, is already guaranteed prize money of at least £176,000 – tripling her career earnings.
And she has won an army of celebrity fans including former First Lady Michelle Obama and rap star Snoop Dogg.
She is set to be a millionaire at 16, having signed to Roger Federer’s Team8 agency and with sponsorship deals with sports brands Head and New Balance.
Experts say she has the potential to become the highest paid female athlete of all time – winning Grand Slam tournaments could see her earn £100million a year.
Coco’s thrilling win against Miss Hercog on Centre Court on Friday was watched by 5.2million viewers, the highest BBC audience for Wimbledon this year.
It was also two million more than tuned in on Saturday to watch Andy Murray’s return in the mixed doubles. It even beat the viewing figures for last year’s women’s final.
She does not appear fazed at the prospect of facing Romanian Miss Halep, the seventh seed, on Court One.
‘I’m just going to approach her like every other match I have been approaching,’ she said. ‘My routine has been working pretty well.’
She said the highlight of her week was not on court but when Mrs Obama tweeted ‘Coco is terrific!’
