David Beckham steals the show at Wimbledon 2025 and it's not just because of his suit
David Beckham, the global style icon, made a dapper appearance at Wimbledon's opening day in a tan linen suit. Despite recently undergoing surgery to remove a screw from an old arm injury sustained while playing for England, Beckham looked effortlessly cool. Wimbledon is officially underway, and while the world tunes in to watch the tennis elite battle it out on Centre Court, let's be honest, some of us are just here for the fashion. And where better to spot some of the season's most polished summer looks than in the iconic Royal Box? This year's tournament is already serving major style moments, and kicking things off in true dapper fashion is none other than Sir David Beckham. The football legend turned global style icon was spotted on Day One of the tournament looking effortlessly cool in a light tan linen suit. Sitting beside England's former coach Gareth Southgate, Beckham reminded everyone that Wimbledon's best-dressed list isn't reserved for the women. — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) But fans quickly noticed something else besides the outfit, David's right hand was wrapped in a bandage, a subtle nod to a recent health update. Just last week, wife Victoria Beckham shared a photo of him recovering in a hospital bed, arm in a sling. Turns out, the 50-year-old recently underwent surgery to remove a screw from an old injury, one he got over two decades ago while playing for England in South Africa. Speaking to DAZN Football during a recent appearance in Atlanta (where he was supporting his team Inter Miami CF in the FIFA Club World Cup), Beckham explained, 'I broke my arm 23 years ago playing for England. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo I had a screw put in, and it needed to come out.' So yes, while most of us would probably still be curled up in bed post-surgery, Beckham is out here attending one of the biggest sporting events of the year - looking sharp, sipping Pimm's, and somehow making a bandaged hand look like a chic accessory. Wimbledon has always been a mix of tradition and trendsetting, and Beckham is the perfect blend of both. With strawberries and cream in one hand and style confidence in the other (even if slightly bandaged), he's proof that when it comes to Wimbledon fashion, the men are very much in the game. Stay tuned, if this is how Day One is going, we can't wait to see who else shows up courtside this year.

Another echoed the sentiment in simple but powerful words: 'Thank you @jowens for giving back to the youth today…my kid enjoyed it.'
