All the Stars, From Olivia Rodrigo to Priyanka Chopra, Watching Wimbledon This Year
Wimbledon is officially underway, and as matches begin on the grass courts of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, celebrities are turning out for the iconic British tennis tournament. Cate Blanchett, Rebel Wilson, Jessica Alba, Olivia Rodrigo, Louis Partridge, Jason Isaacs, David Beckham, Priyanka Chopra, and Nick Jonas are among the stars spotted at Centre Court. They have much to look forward to on the court, as both the women's and men's singles draw are stacked with major contenders. Players include Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Jessica Pegula. Founded in 1877, Wimbledon is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. It remains the only Grand Slam played on grass, and its reputation for tradition is matched by its global visibility. Players adhere to a strict all-white dress code, and attendees must follow a strict dress code. Men are required to wear a 'lounge suit or tailored jacket, shirt, tie and trousers.' Women are encouraged to wear 'smart daywear,' including dresses, skirts, or ankle-length jumpsuits. Sportswear, denim of any kind, shorts, hoodies, and sneakers are explicitly prohibited. Even footwear must meet a refined standard, with tennis and running shoes also banned. This year, Wimbledon runs through July 13. And with its famed Royal Box and Kate Middleton as a frequent attendee (and the club's patron), there is bound to be more A-list moments ahead. Below, see every star who has been spotted at Wimbledon so far.

Wimbledon diary: Heatwave makes way for rain as Olivia Rodrigo visits Royal Box
Earlier in the week it felt unlikely that attendees would have cause to use an umbrella for anything other than shelter from the 30C-plus heat, but before play started on Wednesday all the methods used to avoid the sun were utilised again to stay out of the rain. The turf was covered and the rain cleared to allow play to begin just after 1pm on the outside courts, a delay on the intended 11am start time, but there were no hold-ups on Centre Court and Court One as play ran to time without the need to get under way with the roof closed. ***** Olivia Rodrigo, fresh from her triumphant headline slot on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, was present in the Royal Box as she extended her British sojourn to take in the sights at Wimbledon. Rodrigo wore Union Flag shorts during her festival performance and delivered a brief ode to M&S sweets, Colin the Caterpillar and British pub culture, after which she invited The Cure's Robert Smith on stage as a guest. She was joined in SW19 by her boyfriend, British actor Louis Partridge, and the pair were seen chatting to Olympic diver Tom Daley. Also present from the sporting world were golfer Tommy Fleetwood, former England manager Roy Hodgson and current England boss Thomas Tuchel. Dave Grohl, former Nirvana member and Foo Fighters founder, was also seen and so too was the American wrestler and actor John Cena. ***** Aryna Sabalenka's advice to Alexander Zverev after his emotional press conference following a first-round loss, during which he described feeling 'alone' and 'empty'. FOUND HER! And she was DELIGHTED! Get the pims in mum!!@JudyMurray @Wimbledon 🏏 ☀️ — The Other Murray Brother (@Duncan__Murray) July 2, 2025 Briton Dan Evans crosses paths with Novak Djokovic in the second round of the men's singles as the pair kick off the day four action on Centre Court. Wild card Evans, 35, has met the all-conquering Serb once before, with the two clashing at the 2021 Monte Carlo Masters and the Briton emerging a shock victor. Djokovic, 38, is on a mission to add a record 25th grand slam title and has made it clear he feels this tournament is likely his best chance of doing so. Sunny changing to cloudy in the afternoon with highs of 25C, according to the Met Office.
