Wimbledon 2025: Celebrity sightings and royal appearances

Wimbledon might be known for its tennis, but let’s be honest, it’s just as much about the fashion and the famous faces as it is about forehands and backhands. 

Between the strawberries and cream, the manicured lawns, and that no-nonsense all-white dress code, it’s giving royal garden party meets runway. 

And once again, the Royal Box is the place to see and be seen.

Princess Beatrice was one of the first royals spotted this year, and she brought along her mom, Sarah, Duchess of York, for a rare outing together.

This was a special outing because the Duchess hadn’t attended the sporting event since 1988. 

Just a few seats away was recently knighted Sir David Beckham, looking as dapper as ever, even with a bandaged wrist.

The former captain of the England soccer team was joined by his mother, Sandra.

The “Day of the Jackal” star Eddie Redmayne and his wife Hannah Bagshawe brought a bit of movie-star charm to the stands, and they weren’t the only celebrities turning heads. 

Cate Blanchett looked effortlessly cool in a sleek pale suit, accompanied by her mom, June.

Rebel Wilson and her wife Ramona Agruma made it through one of the hottest Wimbledon days in years, while Russell Crowe kept things chill with his partner Britney Theriot.

Over in the plush Evian "Mountain of Youth" suite, not far from Centre Court, actress Jessica Alba was seen enjoying the day with her daughter Honor. 

The space was buzzing with TV personalities, influencers, and sports stars. 

Wimbledon title winner Maria Sharapova showed up too, snapping a selfie with Beckham at courtside.

Other familiar faces included “Absolutely Fabulous” star Dame Joanna Lumley and actress Isla Fisher.

The famous Royal Box is one of the most exclusive seats in sport. 

Located at the south end of Centre Court, it has just 74 spots and is invite-only. 

The guest list includes royals, VIPs, former champions, and big names from sport, entertainment, and politics.

Of course, there’s a strict dress code. Men are expected to wear suits and ties, while the ladies need to dress elegantly. 

With the finals coming up and the buzz building, we’re sure to see even more celebrities joining the crowd. 

Many are hoping Princess Catherine might make an appearance if she’s well enough.
