As Wimbledon served up its final sets, sports fans and courtside style spectators kept a watchful eye. The question of who would take home the title (of best-dressed, of course) was like a ball up in the air — between regal eyelets, high-season ginghams, and chic lapels, we observed some of the world’s fiercest competitors.
Highly anticipated sporting events often attract high-brow guest lists, and in the case of London’s distinguished annual tennis tournament, this can mean anyone from Instagram influencers to the British Royals. This July, the centre court stands — and even the royal box — were filled by our on-screen favorites; among them were ‘Spider-Men’ Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield, along with my personal royal family, the Apatows — Maude, Judd, and Leslie Mann (with Iris absent).
It would hardly be a tennis match without collegiate-inspired dress, where notes of the coast meet country club polish, and looks are as clean-cut as the grass courts. To many, this means primary colors, linens, and suits sewn to perfection — but interpretations of Wimbledon’s somewhat limiting dress code prove that adhering to tradition does not mean sacrificing personal flair. Just look at Tom Holland, whose breast pocket was emblazoned with a watercolor design in his standout look worn on July 8.
Whether you prefer picnic-core like Olivia Rodrigo or a tailored plaid ensemble such as Cate Blanchett’s, year after year, the Championships are a vision of taste. A carefully curated fusion of modern edge and traditional glamour, the event ‘courts’ only the classiest styles of the season.
The fortnight of finesse brought championing looks, and we rallied up the best.
SOLO ‘SERVES’:
Kate Middleton
Princess of Wales or Princess of Wimbledon? The always-glamorous Kate Middleton clapped courtside in a butter yellow pleated midi dress by Self-Portrait. A pair of Cartier earrings glistened in the rare London sun, which seemed to shine a little brighter for Kate.
Maude Apatow
On the seventh day of the Championships, Maude Apatow mused in an eyelet frock by Ralph Lauren. The look was straight out of a Jane Austen novel — pastoral and romantic with strong silhouettes, all while bringing contemporary flair. Might this signal a resurgence of Victorian fashion? We think the Euphoria star is saying yes.
Leslie Mann
Following “suit” in a Dior ensemble, Leslie Mann donned a fitted, butter yellow blazer. A lace floor-length skirt accompanied, creating a look that’s equal parts sophisticated and whimsical. The beloved mother-daughter duo — Leslie and Maude — made a case for Wimbledon wear, interpreting it as a fusion of the modern and the mannered.
Daisy Edgar-Jones
Daisy Edgar-Jones looked sophisticated and summer-ready at the Men’s Singles Final, wearing a seersucker Gucci co-ord. A thin pearl necklace and a pair of oval-shaped sunglasses blended a time-honored Wimbledon staple with modern chic — a tasteful approach to the tournament.
Cynthia Erivo
Leaning into the polka-dot resurgence is Cynthia Erivo in a sartorial style by Ralph Lauren. The actress is known for her playful yet polished outfits, and this boldly-patterned, collared mini dress is both characteristic and courtly.
Olivia Dean
Butter yellow spearheaded this year’s courtside attire, and with utter elegance, Olivia Dean stunned in the shade of the summer, donning an off-the-shoulder slip gown by AYM Studio. In a curated contrast, the singer outfitted the look with a brown suede bag and tortoiseshell sunglasses.
Glen Powell
Booked, busy, and Brunello Cucinelli — because when you secure as many roles as Glen Powell, your style becomes a symbol. The actor strutted through Day 6 in an off-white suit by the Italian label, paired with an undone button-down. Deep brown loafers and a sleek pair of Oliver Peoples frames gave the look a refined edge.
Lily Collins
Lily in London! Elevating the seersucker with vibrant embroidery by Stella Jean, the Emily in Paris front-runner brought character to an otherwise dependable style. Collins stepped out in a trend-savvy pair of Alaïa flats that were mesh, metallic, and Mary-Jane-coded.
Cate Blanchett
Cate brought class to the courts with a plaid suit by Giorgio Armani, a brand she’s shown loyalty to throughout her career. The double-breasted, light blue co-ord was an ideal choice for the Royal Box, as were her retro aviator frames. Regal in its feel, the courtside style brought both discretion and drama.
Tom Holland
“Off-duty” is making a comeback this year, and although this might mean jeans and an untucked shirt, stars like Tom Holland are proving that the right details can bring a simple style to the nines. The actor dressed in a JW Anderson button-down with a breast pocket that impressed, alongside the discontinued Platinum Daytona Rolex wristwatch. The epitome of quiet luxury, Holland strutted in a high-fashion, premium ensemble with an air of casual cool.
Saffron Hocking
Saffron Hocking arrived for Day 6 in a summer must-have by The Frankie Shop: a chic striped set of Wimbledon white and radiant red, the color pairing dominating this season’s looks. Cherry red mules by Russell & Bromley tied the look together, and for an extra touch of country club cachet, a beige Antler Heritage tote dangled from her arm.
Mia Regan
Women are having a moment with menswear — and we love Thom Browne’s twee twist on the seersucker suit, as seen on Mia Regan on Day 2. The set featured a tailored blazer, a box-pleat mini skirt, and a slim necktie, with a red, white, and blue stripe detail along the skirt’s inner trim. The model carried a dachshund-shaped shoulder bag, playing up the collegiate-cute.
CO-ORD COUPLES:
Sienna Miller & Oli Green
GRAZIA USA coverstar Sienna Miller and boyfriend Oli Green commanded attention on Day 9, with Miller in a floral-print mini dress by Alessandra Rich. Her look featured opulent puff-sleeves and a ribbon-adorned neckline for a noble and nautical aesthetic.
Olivia Rodrigo & Louis Partridge
Representing Generation Z is none other than Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Patridge — the ‘it’ couple that tastefully flies under the radar. Spotting the pair is somewhat rare — except for a casual appearance at Wimbledon’s Royal Box — but never underwhelming. The three-time Grammy winner giggled alongside her partner in a gingham shirt dress by Ralph Lauren, with round Karen Wazen sunglasses that complemented the red in her frock. Partridge exuded a royal charm in a fitted blazer and striped necktie.
Monica Barbaro & Andrew Garfield
Side-by-side in Ralph Lauren, this couple stole the show in matching ivory tones. Andrew Garfield took on tenniscore with a sweater over the shoulders and cuffed linens, and Monica Barbaro stunned in a sleek silk slip. With thin, fitted straps and a soft-draped skirt, she fused athleisure with elegance.
Ramona Agruma & Rebel Wilson
Rebel Wilson posed alongside her wife, Ramona Agruma, on Day 2 of the Championships wearing a daytime frock by Temperley London and a pair of gold-studded Valentino sandals. Agruma also stunned in a look by Temperley London: a linen dress with notes of silver and an accompanying button-down.
Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas
Priyanka Chopra turned heads in classic clubhouse chic. Her Ralph Lauren dress included a high neck, a folded collar, and buttons all the way down. A pair of Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses accessorized the look — simple yet effective. As for Jonas, his navy, double-breasted blazer was also the creation of Ralph Lauren; a perfect look adjacent to his wife.
Jamie Redknapp & Frida Andersson
Ending on a high note, we have Jamie Redknapp and Frida Andersson coordinating navies from Ralph Lauren. Clearly the pioneering designer behind a number of this year’s standout looks, the brand has a long lineage of tastefully connecting style and sport. Redknapp wore a monochrome suit, while Andersson donned a collared midi dress with printed bow detailing.
