Wimbledon's celebrity season begins with Bad Bunny, the Beckhams and a whimsical pair of heels

After the frenzy of awards season, the summer months can feel a little light on major celebrity sightings, which is exactly why Wimbledon's arrival is always welcome. Britain's grand slam tournament has long served as a star-spotting opportunity, drawing royalty, Hollywood heavyweights and fashion favorites to southwest London each summer.

Zendaya, Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, Cynthia Erivo, Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise are just some of the famous faces to have taken their seats courtside over the years — and 2026 is already proving no exception.

Fashion, of course, is part of the spectacle. On court, Wimbledon's famous all-white rule remains one of the tournament's most recognizable traditions; off court, it has inspired a spectator wardrobe of its own, with many guests leaning into the so-called Wimbledon whites.

The first day of the tournament, on June 29, brought a fresh wave of star power to Wimbledon, including Bad Bunny — in London for his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS tour at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — David Beckham and his second-oldest son, Romeo. Their appearances came just days after Romeo's first foray into the world of film was revealed.

Bringing a dose of Hollywood glamour to the All England Club were director Judd Apatow, his wife, Leslie Mann, and their daughter Maude Apatow, along with Isla Fisher. They joined British actors Jameela Jamil, Jason Isaacs and Mark Rylance, as well as The Traitors U.S. star Maura Higgins — dressed thematically in spiky tennis ball heels (see them lower down) — Kim Kardashian's hairstylist Chris Appleton and The Great British Baking Show's Mary Berry in the stands.

The celebrity wattage is only set to rise. On June 30, Serena Williams is set to return to singles action against Australian Maya Joint, before reuniting with her sister Venus Williams for a doubles match later this week.

Bad Bunny sat in Novak Djokovic's Centre Court player box during the tennis pro's first-round match, two days after Djokovic appeared on stage at Bad Bunny's London concert.

Accompanied by his mom, Sandra, Beckham was as dapper as ever in a gray suit and a peach tie with a matching pocket square.

Romeo Beckham showed how he does a suit: swapping out a tie, button-down shirt and leather shoes for sneakers and a T-shirt. Meanwhile, his girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, kept things simple in a white dress with matching heels and a butter-yellow bag.

Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann and their daughter Maude Apatow had a family day out, minus younger sister Iris, on day one of Wimbledon 2026.

Niall Horan paired chinos with a white shirt, which paired beautifully with girlfriend Amelia Woolley's ensemble.

The Good Place star Jameela Jamil stood out in a polka-dot, off-the-shoulder dress. White retro sunglasses and matching pumps popped nicely against the busy print.

Isla Fisher was another celebrity who opted for Wimbledon whites but completed her look with chunky brown heeled clogs rather than white pumps.
