With British summers known for being anything but predictable, the sun finally decided to make a generous appearance over south-west London on Tuesday—just in time for another star-studded day at Wimbledon.

After a weekend that swung between showers and glimpses of sun, the skies cleared, giving celebrity guests a perfect backdrop for some Centre Court action.

Sienna Miller Steals the Show in Vibrant Summer Style

Among the first to arrive was actress Sienna Miller, 43, who looked radiant in a floral minidress that turned heads immediately.

Strolling into the venue hand-in-hand with her partner, Oli Green, she flashed a big smile, clearly soaking in the sunny vibes.

Oli complemented her cheerful outfit with a sharp navy blue suit, making them one of the most stylish couples of the day.

Katherine Jenkins Brings Elegance with a Soft Summer Look

Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins, 45, brought her signature grace to the event in a flowing pastel pink dress.

With a cinched waist and a delicate floral print, her gown was both sophisticated and summery.

She arrived with her husband, filmmaker Andrew Levitas, 47, who kept things classic in a single-breasted three-piece suit and polished black shoes.

John Terry and Wife Toni Keep Things Chic Yet Relaxed

Former England and Chelsea footballer John Terry, 44, took a more relaxed route, wearing a tailored blazer and jeans.

But it was his wife Toni, also 44, who grabbed attention in a stunning white lace dress with a daring neckline.

Together, they made a glamorous entrance, effortlessly balancing comfort and style.

Mark Rylance Adds Flair with a Touch of Vintage

Veteran actor Mark Rylance, 65, stood out in an olive green suit paired with a beige waistcoat and oxblood leather shoes. A stylish hat topped off his look, giving it a vintage twist. He was seen sharing laughs and posing for photos with Lisa Barnard, a well-known artist and documentary photographer.

Richard E. Grant Shares a Special Moment with His Daughter

Beloved actor Richard E. Grant, 68, made an appearance in the prestigious Royal Box, joined by his daughter Olivia.

A regular face at Wimbledon, this visit was especially meaningful, as his late wife Joan Washington had often accompanied him in the past.

Their final visit together was in 2019 before she passed away in 2021 after a battle with cancer.

More Famous Faces Turn Heads at SW19

Other notable guests included Formula One star Lewis Hamilton, who made it to Wimbledon shortly after competing in the British Grand Prix.

Footballer Bukayo Saka, a rising star with Arsenal and the England team, was also spotted in the crowd, as well as actor Tom Felton, best known for his role in the Harry Potter films.

Heatwave Alert Issued as Temperatures Continue to Climb

While the sun brought joy to spectators on Tuesday, health officials are urging caution as a yellow heat health alert has been issued across the southern half of England.

According to the UK Health Security Agency, the alert will be active for seven days starting 10:00am on July 8, with high temperatures expected across London, the Midlands, East of England, South East, and South West.

Health Services Braced for Impact from Rising Heat

The warning comes with serious concern for health and social care systems, as the Met Office expects some areas to officially reach heatwave status, with temperatures potentially hitting the low 30s Celsius by the weekend.

This latest alert follows two amber warnings issued in late June during back-to-back heatwaves.

Wimbledon Begins with Record Heat as June Breaks Records

The heat isn’t just affecting daily life—it’s also rewriting the weather books.

On July 1, London experienced its hottest day of the year so far with 34.7°C recorded at St James’s Park.

It also marked the warmest start to Wimbledon on record.

Even June itself went down in history as England’s warmest June ever, according to provisional data from the Met Office.

What Comes Next?

With the heat showing no signs of letting up, fans and players alike should brace for more sweltering days ahead.

Whether it’s courtside or couchside, the action at Wimbledon continues to heat up—both literally and figuratively.
