Wimbledon's Star-Studded Day: Sarah Lancashire, Cate Blanchett & More Shine!

Wimbledon 2025: The Celebrities and Tennis Stars Heat Up the Courts!

The prestigious Wimbledon Championships are back, and with them come the A-listers and tennis enthusiasts alike! Day two of the tournament saw a scorching hot lineup of celebrities and athletes take over the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Amidst the blistering heatwave, which is expected to reach 36C (97F) today, the who's who of Hollywood and sports came together to enjoy the thrilling matches.

At the center of it all was none other than actress Sarah Lancashire, 60, looking radiant in a stunning floaty white summer dress. She was joined by her dashing husband, TV producer Peter Salmon, 69, who sported a sharp blue suit. The power couple's rare public outing turned heads as they walked hand-in-hand through the gates of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

But Sarah wasn't the only A-lister to turn up in style! Fellow actress Rebel Wilson, 41, made waves with her sizzling hot pink lace midi dress, which she paired with a confident pose alongside wife Ramona Agruma. Cate Blanchett, looking as regal as ever, joined her Aussie friends Rebel and Molly-Mae Hague for a day of tennis at the Royal Box. The trio's combined glamour was undeniable!

While some celebrities opted for more subdued outfits to beat the heat, others went all out in their fashion choices. Chef Marcus Wareing kept it casual with his signature blue polo shirt, but still managed to turn heads. Meanwhile, Sir Trevor McDonald looked as dapper as ever in his grey suit and red tie.

But let's talk tennis! British number one Jack Draper is making waves this year, having emerged as a top contender for the coveted Wimbledon trophy. The 23-year-old tennis sensation kicked off his campaign with a bang against Argentina's Sebastian Baez on Tuesday. As he took to the courts, fans who had braved the early morning heat to queue up were rewarded with an electrifying match.

The tennis world is abuzz with excitement as Jack Draper, now ranked fourth in the world, takes aim at becoming a Wimbledon champion. But he's not the only one vying for top honors – seven-time champion Novak Djokovic, 38, is looking to break records and secure his record-extending 25th Grand Slam title.

As always, the Royal Box was packed with celebrities and sports stars eager to catch the action on the courts. Judy Murray, mother of tennis ace Andy Murray, looked every inch a Wimbledon mom in her bright yellow lace shirt dress and white trainers. And Lord Frederick Windsor brought his A-game (and straw hat!) to the event.

But amidst all the glamour and excitement, there were some heart-wrenching moments on the court. American tennis star Jessica Pegula was left reeling after being dumped out of Wimbledon by Italy's unseeded Elisabetta Cocciaretto in a crushing 6-2, 6-3 defeat.

The 28-year-old star's affection for her beau was evident as she proudly watched him take down his opponent in a thrilling match.

The romance between Katie and Alex has been blossoming since they first met at a London coffee shop in 2020. Their whirlwind romance has had fans swooning, but it seems their love is strong enough to withstand even the most intense tennis matches!
