You can set the ItemContainerStyle:

<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Updates}">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding TimeStamp}" Header="TimeStamp" />
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding UpdateData}" />
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
    <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="14" />
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue" />
            <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold" />
            <Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Italic" />
        </Style>
    </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListView>

Note that it will apply to the items of the ListView, not the ListView itself (e.g. the column headers won't be affected). If you want to apply those properties to the whole ListView, you can set them directly on the ListView:

<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Updates}"
          Foreground="Blue" FontSize="14" ...>
