The Wimbledon tennis tournament concluded over the weekend with notable victories from Jannik Sinner, who secured his fifth Grand Slam title, and Linda Noskova, who claimed her first major championship. Beyond the intense action on the grass courts, the event also showcased a quiet competition off the court—one centered on fashion as players and spectators alike embraced distinctive styles amid the traditional Wimbledon whites.
While the tournament’s dress code for players remains strictly white, fashion choices among competitors reflected a blend of functionality and flair. Naomi Osaka, the Japanese tennis star, drew attention with her elaborate on-court attire, which emphasized ornamental design elements. American player Taylor Fritz stood out by donning a custom white suit designed by his sponsor Boss, a rare departure from typical tennis apparel.
Spectators at Wimbledon traditionally observe an unspoken expectation of smart dress, bridging casual and formal wear. Though there is no formal dress code for attendees, many used the opportunity to present polished and stylish looks, underscoring the event's social prestige.
Among the prominent figures in attendance, Catherine, Princess of Wales, appeared at the women’s singles final in a bright red skirt suit featuring a peplum top and waist-defining belt by Roland Mouret. Actor and director Michaela Coel chose cream trousers paired with a pinstripe double-breasted blazer by Ralph Lauren, exemplifying an ability to elevate classic pieces into standout ensembles.
Actor Emma Corrin was seen at Ralph Lauren’s Wimbledon suite wearing cream trousers, a navy shirt and tie, and a red slouchy sweater, a combination thought to draw inspiration from the Union Jack. Priyanka Chopra Jonas, a frequent attendee, wore a taupe shirt dress accented with a waist tie and matching headscarf, and was notably seen participating in a video call with her husband, Nick Jonas, during the event.
Among other celebrities, English actor Olivia Cooke, known for her role in "House of the Dragon," opted for a silver pencil skirt and a glossy beige blouse, accentuated by her flowing red hair. Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa chose a gray double-breasted suit paired with a mauve tie and distinctive two-toned loafers.
Bhavitha Mandava, a Chanel model and New York University graduate who rose to prominence last year in shows by Chanel’s creative director Matthieu Blazy, remained faithful to the brand with a cream slip dress adorned with intricate embroidery. Australian actor Yerin Ha, known for her role in “Bridgerton,” sported a pink and green striped Thom Browne skirt suit featuring frayed edges and paired socks with heels, turning what some might consider a fashion misstep into a signature look.
In contrast to the formal stylings often seen, Scottish music producer and DJ Joshua Spence Mainnie, professionally known as Barry Can’t Swim, opted against the conventional jacket-and-tie ensemble, embracing a more casual approach in the stands.
Wimbledon this year thus reflected not only high-level tennis competition but also a broad spectrum of fashion choices, from on-court innovation to sartorial statements made by both stars and spectators.
