Marked by upsets, Wimbledon 2025 saw a record number of top seeds lose in the first two rounds. So, instead of arriving fashionably late, tennis' biggest and best dressed stars made early exits.
However, the top players, the ones with the biggest endorsement contracts, stuck around long enough to showcase their tennis attire. The following are the 2025 best dressed players at the All England Club.
Wimbledon 2025 Best Dressed Overall

Marta Kostyuk took Wimbledon by storm last year when she wore a kit patterned after her wedding dress. This year, Kostyuk opted for a sportier Wilson Apron dress with cutouts in the back and pleated trim on the skirt. She lost in the first round but was one of Wimbledon's best dressed this year.

Wimbledon's best-dressed men kept it simple. Taylor Fritz is long and lean and the perfect model for the Hugo Boss, BOSS ZONE collection. Fritz's zip-neck T-shirt with subtle trim complements the slim-fit shorts. Matteo Berrettini, also an ambassador for Hugh Boss, wore a similar outfit.

Naomi Osaka left the cutesy flowers and anime-inspired accessories behind this time. She opted for an elegant Nike dress with a woven midriff and a soft, pleated skirt, which presented a slightly softer look than the NikeCourt Slam dress worn by Aryna Sabalenka, Emma Raducanu, Madison Keys, and the rest of the Nike brigade.

Stefanos Tsitsipas suffered an embarrassing early exit, losing in the first round to. However, he aced attire with this throwback kit from Adidas. The kit is part of a 36-piece London Originals Collection from Adidas. The sheer argyle-inspired pattern polo shirt was a nod to the 1970s, when Stan Smith. Adidas even brought back its OG Trefoil logo. Felix Auger-Aliassime and Sonay Kartal wore variations of this design.

Billie Jean King-inspired tennis dresses are also part of the Adidas London Originals collection, and Elina Svitolina wore different styles in the three rounds she played at Wimbledon. The sporty bodysuit is one of the best kits in Wimbledon fashion history. Unlike the fitted catsuits worn by Ann White at Wimbledon in 1985, or by Serena Williams at the 2004 U.S. Open or the 2019 French Open, this bodysuit flatters any figure.

Carson Branstine took on part-time modeling gigs to supplement her earnings from tennis. Heading into Wimbledon, Branstine did not have a clothing sponsor. She used Head rackets. The only visible logos were patches from the financial services company FICO and Stella Artois, a beer maker. Still, the two-piece kit is sporty and looks fantastic on her. After the publicity she got playing against Aryna Sabalenka, Branstine might get a clothing sponsor.
Best Walk Out Wardrobe
The pre-match walkout has become the runway show for many top players who arrive on court promoting several sponsors. They are wear branded apparel, headphones by BEATS or BOSE, bags promoting their racket sponsor and sometimes jewelry or watches they are promoting.
So in the age of Social Media marketing in which anytime on camera is an opportunity to market, more players are using the walkout to call attention to sponsors. The following are among the best Wimbledon 2025 walkout wardrobe.

Jessica Pegula was the first top seed casualty at Wimbledon. But she made quite the entrance in Adidas from head to toe. She wore an Adidas dress, a visor, a jacket, a long cover-up skirt, shoes, and even carried a London Originals bowling bag. That's six Adidas pieces during the walkout. She won five games.

Lorenza Musetti may have walked out in the most expensive jacket. Musetti wore a white, leather Bottega Veneta jacket with a woven leather design. Musetti is the latest tennis player to represent a luxury Italian designer label. Jannik Sinner is an ambassador for Gucci, and Coco Gauff has an endorsement deal with Miu Miu.

Coco Gauff's New Balance dress got the most attention in her brief Wimbledon 2025 appearance. Some considered it a hit, others, a miss. The best and most practical part of Gauff's kit was the sleek biker-style white jacket. You can wear that jacket anywhere and with anything.

While many players wore jackets onto the court, Carlos Alcaraz arrived in a cardigan, evoking shades of Roger Federer when he was a Nike ambassador. The soft, collegiate-looking cardigan costs $200.
Best Wimbledon Tennis Bags
Every player brings a tennis bag onto the court. But most are your standard giant racket bags. However, some player bags are more stylish than others. The following are the best Wimbledon tennis bags.

Kostyuk's Wilson Leather Showman tennis bag retails for $598. The bag looks like vintage leather luggage and features a built-in racket pocket, removable and adjustable straps

Novak Djokovic carries two bags onto the court. One is a green and white Head duffle bag. The other is a special racket bag that features his signature logo at the bottom and icons for milestones in his career. The icons represent winning Olympic gold, 10 Australian Opens, seven Wimbledon titles, and four US Open titles. A bag with infographics outlining your GOAT career is quite the flex.

Dayana Yastremska stunned the tennis world when she upset Coco Gauff in the first round. Yastremska decorated her Yonex bag with cute furry bobbles and ribbons in Ukrainian flag colors.

Tatjana Maria carries a standard Yonex racket bag, however, with the red bag complementing the colors of the German flag. Her first initial and last name embroidered on the bag adds a nice touch for Maria, one of nine mothers playing in this year's Wimbledon.
Bags and bobbles were one of the few ways players could bring some color to the court. Yet, even with Wimbledon's all-white restrictions, the All England Club managed to showcase some of the best-dressed tennis fashions this season.

Sabrina Carpenter joined by Duran Duran for Hungry Like The Wolf performance at BST Hyde Park

Sabrina Carpenter was joined by Duran Duran for a surprise performance of Hungry Like The Wolf at her second BST Hyde Park gig. The Espresso hitmaker was accompanied by the 1980s icons for a rendition of the 1982 hit at her second headlining show in London on Sunday (06.07.25). Introducing the band as she was joined on stage by frontman Simon Le Bon and bass guitarist John Taylor, Sabrina said: "I also thought it might be fun if I brought out some friends of mine from the UK. I'm going to need you guys to put that howling to good use. But everybody please give it up and make so much noise for the legendary Duran Duran." Sabrina was also joined by Clairo on both of her BST Hyde Park dates over the weekend, with Beabadoobee performing on Saturday (05.07.25) and Olivia Dean taking to the stage on Sunday. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old singer revealed last month that she was considering banning phones from her gigs after being inspired by a Silk Sonic gig in Las Vegas where fans were unable to access their devices. Asked if she would consider making a similar move to Adele and Madonna, Sabrina told Rolling Stone magazine: "This will honestly p*** off my fans, but absolutely. 'Because I went to see Silk Sonic in Vegas, and they locked my phone. I've never had a better experience at a concert. "I genuinely felt like I was back in the '70s — wasn't alive. Genuinely felt like I was there. Everyone's singing, dancing, looking at each other, and laughing. It really, really just felt so beautiful." The Manchild artist explained that phones being held up at shows is something that "feels super normal" to her generation, although she is wary of people zooming in on her facial features when she gets older. Sabrina said: "I've grown up in the age of people having iPhones at shows. It unfortunately feels super normal to me. "I can't blame people for wanting to have memories. But depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away. "You cannot zoom in on my face. Right now, my skin is soft and supple. It's fine. Do not zoom in on me when I'm 80 years old up there.'

Fringe Festival critic gets his comeuppance in entertaining 'Bring the House Down'

Any profession can corrupt its practitioners — and arts critics are no exception. Are they enlightened standard-setters dragging us back from a cultural abyss — or deformed exiles from the arts who, with sharpened pens and bent backs, are ready to pounce on plot-holes and devour careers at a moment's notice? If Charlotte Runcie's debut novel, "Bring the House Down," is anything to go by, it's a bit of both. The book centers around four heady weeks at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which begins the unraveling of two newspaper critics who have traveled up from London to cover the sprawling performance art event. Runcie, a former arts columnist for the Daily Telegraph, has created something so delightfully snackable that you may, as I did, gulp it down in two or three sittings. Runcie's anti-hero is theater critic Alex Lyons. Alex gives everything he reviews either one star or five, and the latter are vanishingly rare. He bemoans a world of 'online shopping reviews,' where 'five stars has come to mean the baseline, rather than outstanding,' and so insists on panning almost everything he sees. What's bad for artists is good for him: His reviews become desperately sought-after career makers or breakers. 'The paper didn't allow Alex to award zero stars. Otherwise, he'd do it all the time.' We learn about Alex's story through our narrator Sophie Ridgen, his colleague who, despite being in her mid-30s like Alex, is on a very different track. Alex rose quickly through the newspaper's ranks, and his reviews are featured on the front page almost daily. Sophie continues to toil as a junior culture writer, picking up whatever scraps nobody else wants. Sophie is also a new mom, overworking to compensate for time lost to maternity leave. She feels uncomfortable in her post-pregnancy body, exhausted and frustrated with her husband. Alex, on the other hand, finds it 'embarrassingly easy' to get laid. But Alex's glory days are numbered. Early on at the Fringe, he sees a one-woman show that, unsurprisingly, he hates. He writes a review as devastating as it is personal (calling the star a 'dull, hectoring frump,' her voice a 'high-pitched whine'). All of this would be business as usual for Alex except for one problem: After quickly filing his review of the show, he bumps into Hayley Sinclair, its creator and star, in a bar. He takes her home and sleeps with her. He knew the one star was waiting for her; she did not. When she finds out, there is hell to pay. Hayley transforms her nightly show into the 'Alex Lyons Experience,' collecting testimony from his ex-girlfriends and lovers, or even those who have simply received bad reviews from him. Over the following weeks her show swells into a Greek chorus of one man's wrongs. The whole nation, including members of Parliament, have hot takes (the performance is livestreamed). It doesn't help his case that Alex is a bit of a nepo baby, as his mother Judith is an actor whose name would be recognized in most British households. Sophie, living with Alex in the company-rented flat, has a front row seat to his public unraveling. She watches the livestreams with guilty awe, stalks Alex and Hayley compulsively online, and feverishly scans social media for the latest gossip (Runcie is great at writing a fake mean Tweet/X dispatch). She starts missing calls with her husband and their toddler son, as she becomes fully obsessed with the drama unfolding in Edinburgh. As she continues to inhabit the same flat as her colleague, Sophie is increasingly questioned by others as to whose side she's on, Alex or Hayley's. For much of the book, she seems unable to make up her mind. She refuses to give up on Alex, and increasingly becomes his only source of companionship, which she can't help but find flattering. But she also finds herself sympathetic to and magnetized by Hayley, whose popularity is blossoming on the Fringe circuit and beyond. Read more: 10 books to read in July While Alex and Hayley both appear to possess other-worldly levels of charisma, one flaw with Runcie's novel is that this is something we are repeatedly told, rather than shown. Alex spends most of the book being condescending to Sophie, and yet she is transfixed by him. 'He had the strange ability to make you feel as if you were the only person who was in on a joke, the only person who understood some fundamental truth about the world that escaped other people.' This feels unsatisfyingly generic, like something you might find in an online wedding vows template. We are at least given more backstory and a more plausible explanation for Sophie's fascination with Alex: the ego trip. Having been dragged down by motherhood, a rocky marriage, and grief over the death of her own mother, Sophie enjoys Alex's increasing dependence on her, a lone rock of support amid an ocean of alienation. There is something undeniably delicious in watching someone you revere fall to their knees, and Sophie begins to see in Alex 'a tiny flickering of fear, at first only visible as a barely perceptible interruption to his arrogance, like a power cut that dims the lights for just a hundredth of a second.' Read more: In defense of criticism: A theater critic asks what good does it do in an upside-down world Hayley, unfortunately, never quite comes to life in the same way. And it remains unclear why her show, which is essentially a litany of (legitimate) complaints about a real-life terrible man with some added pyrotechnics, takes Edinburgh and the entire country by such storm. 'I find I can't explain why it had the effect that it did,' Sophie tells us. 'This wasn't theater, not really; it was a happening. The audience weren't spectators anymore, but a silent, connected web of righteous energy.' Without more to go on, we have no choice but to take her word for it. The result feels like a missed opportunity to interrogate some important questions. How much does the identity (gender, race, or class) of the critic matter when it comes to their ability to judge art? What about the identity of the artist themselves? In other words, who shall criticize the critics? Readers may leave Runcie's novel feeling that some of these questions go unanswered, but this deeply entertaining novel is nonetheless well worth the price of admission. Mills is a writer and human rights researcher who has worked for Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the Wall Street Journal and Associated Press. She lives in New York.

Everton closing in on loan for England's Robinson

Everton are closing in on an agreement to sign England winger Katie Robinson on loan from Aston Villa this summer, with an option to buy clause. The deal is not yet finalised but all parties are confident of an agreement with Robinson planning to carry out a medical at Everton on Wednesday. Advertisement Robinson joined Villa on a free transfer from Brighton in 2024 and has a year remaining on her current contract. The 22-year-old was the youngest member of Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses squad that reached the Women's World Cup final in 2023. She made 16 appearances in all competitions for Villa last season but only started five matches under new manager Natalia Arroyo between January and May. Robinson impressed during her time at Brighton and is considered a young forward with high potential. Everton manager Brian Sorensen has worked with young English talent before, enjoying success with Chelsea's Aggie Beever-Jones and Manchester City's Jess Park in loan spells at the club.
