The Worst-Dressed Celebrities At Wimbledon 2025
As spectators, celebrities aren't expected to dust off their best duds for Wimbledon, but some of them seem to really struggle with looking tasteful and polished at the posh sporting event. Unfortunately, there isn't a strict dress code for attendees to guide them in the right direction — just a few banned clothing items, including jeans with holes in them. This increases the likelihood that celebs will rack up a few sartorial penalties while watching balls whiz back and forth on the court, as has been the case this year.
It's always fascinating to see which celebrities are fans of tennis — or who is willing to feign an interest in it for reasons only fathomable to themselves. Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes made an awkward appearance at Wimbledon 2024, where the latter very predictably rocked a tennis skirt. Meanwhile, a few royals classed the event up a bit more by gracing it with their presence. Clad in a purple dress that was perfect for the occasion, Kate Middleton also wore a smile that should have set off alarm bells for Prince William (she looked much too happy to be there without him).
Some of the most famous spectators at Wimbledon 2025 could benefit from studying Kate's courtside style, as there were few fashion grand slams and a lot of clothing code violations.
If only we couldn't see John Cena's sleazy car salesman ensemble
John Cena's catchphrase might be "you can't see me," but he was impossible to miss at Wimbledon, where the "Peacemaker" star looked ready to make a sale in his overloaded ensemble. But there's no way you'd want to buy his wares, as his powder blue plaid blazer, mismatched striped tie, collared shirt in a different blue hue, and wrinkled khaki pants belong in the closet of a used car salesman whose fashion sense reflects his integrity. Meanwhile, his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh, nailed the assignment in her adorable seersucker dress.
A Rebel without a closet mirror
When some celebs attend events that attract the hoitier-toitier members of society, they seem to think that they need to dress to impress the geriatric set. However, when Rebel Wilson looked at this pink floral lace fiasco in the mirror, she should have immediately realized that the frumpy frock resembled something a well-meaning grandmother might make for a granddaughter's Barbie. But, of course, no doll will ever wear poor granny's repurposed doily — proving that an 8-year-old's fashion sense is more pitch-perfect than that of the "Senior Year" star.
Did Nick Jonas get dressed in the dark on his yacht?
Priyanka Chopra was perfection in her white Ralph Lauren day dress with a collared halter neck, but her husband looked like he was about to get laughed out of the yacht club in his outfit from the same label. He turned the volume up a little too high on loud luxury in his navy coat and clashing sky blue shirt layered over a white collared button-up. And while those chunky black oxfords might add a few inches to his height, they don't fit with the preppy aesthetic he was clearly going for — they belong in Wednesday Addams' wardrobe, not at Wimbledon.
Maria Sharapova was ready for the first day of middle school circa 1998
While Maria Sharapova was worth a pretty penny when she retired from playing professional tennis, the Wimbledon champ could have purchased this ensemble on a teen's Abercrombie & Fitch salary at any mall in America in the late '90s. Her tucked-in blue polo shirt, denim midi skirt, brown mules with stacked heels, and metallic purse were a too-on-the-nose take on first day of school 'fits from that era. But no self-respecting middle schooler would have left the house without clipping those messy tresses up with half a dozen butterfly clips.
Russell Crowe and Britney Theriot needed something to tie their looks together
As a member of the cast of the "Highlander" reboot, Russell Crowe is going to have to get used to hearing the phrase "there can be only one" constantly. It's just a shame he and his fiancee, Britney Theriot, don't apply this concept to prints. His rainbow-hued tartan tie and Theriot's dusky pink floral dress with polka dot ruffles and a pussy bow were from entirely different sartorial dimensions. While Crowe explained on X that the tie was a nod to his familial ties to Clan Fraser of Lovat, some users informed the star with Scottish roots that it was the wrong tartan. Whoopsies!
Did Chris O'Dowd just make a mad dash from the beach?
"The IT Crowd" star Chris O'Dowd looked like he was braving the crowds at a beach somewhere when he suddenly remembered that he had Wimbledon tickets. His shirt had a tropical vibe, with what appeared to be a summery lemon print. He threw a bluish-green-greige blazer on over it and put on a pair of burnt-orange boots, which would have looked at least acceptable with a pair of slacks. The problem is, he was wearing a pair of dark blue shorts that looked suspiciously like swimming trunks, and his visible socks made his outfit even more of a mess. But at least he was keeping cool.
Jade Holland Cooper was ready to join Batman's rogues gallery
Designer Jade Holland Cooper served some sartorial chaos by pairing a printed tie with two different stripe patterns, one of which was a bold pinstripe with gangster vibes. The combo of her blazer and sunglasses with round, dark lenses made her look ready to wreak havoc in Gotham as a baddie from the fashion industry — one whose villain origin story is either noticing the nipples on George Clooney's batsuit or landing on a worst-dressed list.
Dominic Cooper was prepared to sprint after his straining button
There was nothing wrong with "Mamma Mia!" star Dominic Cooper's Smurfy color palette, but his sky blue suit looked like it was designed to fit one of the diminutive creatures. You can tell by his stance in the photo above that his jacket was much too tight. It was also bunching up at the shoulders and puckering around the waist. The overstrained single button holding it closed looked like it could pop off at any moment, so at least he was wearing a pair of too-casual matching sneakers to chase it down.
Cat Deeley was ready for a dip in the commune kiddie pool
The ditsy print on Cat Deeley's sundress was straight out of a hippie's wardrobe. Even with the outmoded floral pattern, it could have been cute with the bishop or bell sleeves that were popular during the era of peace and love, but instead, her overinflated puff sleeves resembled a child's arm floaties. The garment's weird proportions also made it look like a little girl's homemade church gown circa the '80s, and those dark gladiator sandals were another visual blight on this odd outfit.
Maude Apatow was a Victorian bride
First comes the courtship, then comes the courtside wedding. A lot of Wimbledon spectators embrace the players' dress code, which calls for them to wear white. "Euphoria" star Maude Apatow was a member of this club in 2025, but her look didn't feel appropriate for a sporting event. Instead, she was dressed to play a bride in a historical drama in her collared lace gown with a layered skirt and ruffled cuffs on the sleeves.
Micaela Diamond's dress code contradiction
"Grotesquerie" star Michaela Diamond's rather unflattering jean shorts would have met the requirements of many high school dress codes, as they almost hit her knees. But when a certain duchess wore denim to Wimbledon, it had people feeling some type of way (it was definitely one of Meghan Markle's most controversial decisions). Diamond was also channeling a frazzled tourist dad with the rest of her messy ensemble: a brown belt, wrinkled button-up, gray tube socks, and blue sneakers.
Latto's Chanel ensemble didn't consist of a latto material
Latto served some logomania in her Chanel gaiters and cross-body bag, rebelling against the pressure to conform and play it safe in Ralph Lauren like so many other celebrity Wimbledon attendees. Unfortunately, many social media users agreed that her teeny sweatshorts, flip-flops, and tank top were just a tad too casual. Her shirt was also see-through in some photos, making it a downright inappropriate choice, seeing as how she decided not to wear a bra. And her gaiters looked like a drawstring bag full of sample-size items you might get free with a Chanel purchase.
Leomie Anderson's grab-bag garb was a confusing jumble of incohesive trends
Model Leomie Anderson definitely had one of the most adventurous looks at Wimbledon, but her eclectic mix of fabrics and patterns lacked an element to connect them all together. It's like she bought a bunch of mystery boxes from a thrift store and just wore three random items she found inside: a black leather jacket that was a head-scratching choice, considering the miserable heat; a sweater skirt with lace panels that looked like a '90s castoff; and a pair of cow-print boots Jessie from "Toy Story" might wear to a hootenanny.
Carole Middleton's drop-waist bedding disaster
Stripes are handy on fitted sheets because they help you put them on your bed in the correct direction. Speaking of which, Carole Middleton's brown and white striped shirt dress resembled a freshly opened package of bedding, creases and all. The drop-waist style also made her torso appear abnormally long while shortening her legs, diminishing the vertical stripes' figure-flattering effects. But at least she had some nice valance around her shins.
Nick Grimshaw's gimmicky shirt was just goofy
For his Wimbledon look, Nick Grimshaw answered the question: What would the four-armed, half-dragon warrior Goro from the "Mortal Kombat" franchise wear if he gave up blood sport for good and took an interest in tennis? But the extra arms on Grimmy's striped button-up just looked silly and sad dangling limply at his sides with no extra appendages to fill them. He could have at least tied them at the waist to add a few points to his preppiness score and level up his 'fit.
Kate Middleton's ill-advised Princess Diana homage
After eagle-eyed Instagrammers noticed that Princess Catherine's longtime stylist was following Meghan Markle and members of her inner circle, Catherine dodged further accusations that she was stealing Meghan's style at Wimbledon by channeling the late Princess Diana instead. Her belted Self Portrait dress was strikingly similar to a cream ensemble Diana wore during a solo Egypt visit shortly before her separation from King Charles III. He had skipped that particular trip to spend time with his mistress, Queen Camilla. It's an eyebrow-raising homage that will do nothing to dispel the rumors that Catherine and Prince William's marriage is in trouble.
