There is, perhaps, no greater stage in the British summer calendar than Wimbledon. Year after year, the hallowed lawns of SW19 transform from a mere sporting venue into a glittering catwalk of celebrity, royalty, and style—a place where strawberries, cream, and the gentle thwack of tennis balls are matched only by the steady parade of the world’s most famous faces, each vying to make an impression as lasting as the matches themselves. And in 2025, as the Championships burst into life, it was clear from the very first day that this year’s tournament would be as star-studded, as stylish, and as utterly captivating as any in memory.
If Centre Court is the heart of Wimbledon, then the stands—packed with A-listers, sporting legends, and fashion icons—are its beating pulse. It is here, under the watchful gaze of the world’s cameras and the fluttering Union Jacks, that the great and the good come not just to watch tennis, but to see and be seen. And this year, it was a veritable who’s who of celebrity royalty gracing the courts: David Beckham, Tom Daley, Olivia Rodrigo, Russell Crowe, Rebel Wilson, Cat Deeley, Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra, John Cena, Shay Shariatzadeh, Dave Grohl, Leslie Mann, Dominic Cooper, Eddie Redmayne, and Jack Whitehall—all descending on SW19 in a riot of colour, charm, and sartorial savvy.
Let’s begin with Cat Deeley, the golden girl of British television and a vision of summer chic as she sashayed into the grounds. There is something effortlessly magnetic about Cat, a kind of breezy glamour that feels perfectly at home amid the tradition and pageantry of Wimbledon. For her day in the stands, she chose a floral midi dress so utterly in tune with the season that one could almost smell the scent of English roses as she passed. Paired with understated brown sandals and her trademark sunny smile, Cat looked every inch the Wimbledon muse—fresh, feminine, and unbothered by the fevered paparazzi lens. She has always understood, instinctively, that true style is about more than labels or price tags; it’s about confidence, comfort, and a sense of occasion. On Day Four, as she mingled with fellow guests and posed for photos against a backdrop of emerald grass and crisp white lines, Cat Deeley reminded us all why she remains one of the nation’s most beloved—and best-dressed—stars.
But if Cat brought the flowers, Tom Daley brought the foliage. The Olympic diving legend, long admired for his daring both in and out of the pool, arrived at Centre Court in a green suit so sharp it could have sliced through the tension of a fifth-set tiebreak. There is a particular bravado required to pull off a look this bold, but Tom wore it with the easy confidence of a man who has stood atop the world’s podiums and knows exactly who he is. The suit, tailored to perfection, was paired with a crisp shirt and a knowing grin—a look that said, unmistakably, “I’m here to watch the tennis, but I’m also here to turn heads.” And turn heads he did. Cameras followed his every move, fans clamoured for selfies, and social media lit up with praise for his style. In a sea of navy blazers and polite pastels, Tom Daley was a breath of fresh air—a reminder that Wimbledon, for all its tradition, still has room for a little playful rebellion.
Of course, no discussion of Wimbledon style would be complete without mentioning David Beckham—the soon-to-be Sir David, who continues to redefine what it means to be a British icon. From his days bending free kicks at Old Trafford to his current incarnation as a global ambassador for sport, fashion, and charity, Beckham has always understood the power of presentation. On Day One of the Championships, he cut a figure of such effortless elegance that even the most seasoned style watchers were left scrambling for superlatives. Clad in a perfectly tailored suit, his hair immaculately coiffed, Beckham looked every inch the statesman—regal, refined, and yet somehow still the boy from Leytonstone who captured the nation’s heart. There is a quiet confidence to Beckham’s style, a sense that he has nothing left to prove—and yet, every year, he manages to raise the bar just a little higher. As he took his seat in the Royal Box, exchanging nods with fellow luminaries and flashing that trademark smile, it was clear: at Wimbledon, David Beckham is as much a part of the spectacle as the tennis itself.
But it wasn’t just the British stars making waves. Hollywood royalty was out in force, each bringing their own unique flair to the proceedings. Russell Crowe, the Gladiator himself, was spotted mingling with fans, his presence a reminder that Wimbledon’s appeal extends far beyond these shores. Rebel Wilson, ever the scene-stealer, looked radiant in a pink summer frock—a vision of old-school glamour with a thoroughly modern twist. Olivia Rodrigo, fresh from headlining the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, arrived in a red gingham ensemble that managed to be both playful and impossibly chic. There is a certain art to dressing for Wimbledon—an understanding that tradition and individuality must walk hand in hand—and Olivia, with her eye for colour and her effortless cool, nailed it.
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, meanwhile, proved once again why they are one of the world’s most stylish couples. Nick opted for a smart navy suit, the kind that speaks of quiet confidence and impeccable taste, while Priyanka dazzled in a traditional white summer dress that seemed to glow in the afternoon sun. Together, they were the very picture of modern glamour—international, sophisticated, and utterly at ease in the rarefied air of SW19.
Elsewhere, comedian Jack Whitehall cut a dashing figure in chino trousers and a polo shirt—proof that smart-casual, when done right, can hold its own against even the most formal attire. Eddie Redmayne, Oscar-winner and perennial style icon, chose a white suit and sunglasses, looking for all the world like a matinee idol from a bygone era. It is this blend of old and new, classic and contemporary, that gives Wimbledon its unique sartorial energy—a sense that anything is possible, as long as you wear it with conviction.
And then there were the moments that transcended fashion entirely—the flashes of camaraderie, the shared laughter, the sense of occasion that only Wimbledon can deliver. John Cena and Shay Shariatzadeh, Dave Grohl and Leslie Mann, Dominic Cooper and Jack Whitehall—all mingling, chatting, and soaking up the atmosphere, their celebrity status rendered almost secondary by the sheer joy of being part of something so quintessentially British. For a few precious days, the boundaries between sport, entertainment, and society blur, and everyone—regardless of fame or fortune—is united by a love of tennis, tradition, and the simple pleasures of a summer afternoon.
Of course, the real stars of Wimbledon are always the players—the men and women who battle it out on the grass, chasing glory and etching their names into the annals of history. But there is something undeniably special about the way the crowds, the celebrities, and the city itself come together to create an atmosphere unlike any other. It is a celebration not just of sport, but of style, community, and the enduring magic of a British summer.
As the first week drew to a close, the verdict was clear: Cat Deeley, Tom Daley, and David Beckham had well and truly aced Wimbledon style, each bringing their own unique flair to the proceedings and reminding us all that fashion, like tennis, is at its best when it is bold, joyful, and just a little bit unpredictable. Their outfits will be dissected, discussed, and emulated for months to come, their presence a testament to the enduring allure of Wimbledon as the ultimate stage for sport, spectacle, and style.
But perhaps the greatest lesson of all is this: at Wimbledon, as in life, it is not enough simply to follow the rules. The true icons are those who dare to make them their own—who step onto the grass, the red carpet, or the world stage with courage, conviction, and a twinkle in their eye. In 2025, as the sun shone down on SW19 and the world watched in awe, Cat, Tom, and David reminded us all that style is not just about what you wear, but about how you wear it—about confidence, grace, and the quiet thrill of knowing that, for one perfect moment, you are exactly where you belong.
And so, as the strawberries are served, the glasses are raised, and the matches roll on, we salute the stars of Wimbledon—on the court, in the stands, and in our hearts. For in this most British of traditions, there is always room for a little glamour, a little excitement, and a whole lot of style.
