London was sizzling in more ways than one on Monday—not just because of the heatwave, but because the stars came out in full glam for the opening day of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships.
From power couples to single stunners, the first day was a fashionable frenzy before a single match even began.
Rochelle and Marvin Humes Serve Couple Goals
Among the first to turn heads were Rochelle and Marvin Humes, who looked totally smitten during their sun-soaked outing.
Rochelle, 36, absolutely nailed the tennis-chic look in a tailored cream suit with cropped trousers and a structured blazer.
She accessorised with a light scarf, a stylish hat, and oversized Louis Vuitton sunglasses, exuding effortless glam.
Marvin, 40, matched his wife’s vibe in a sleek pinstriped suit and sunglasses.
The couple looked every bit the power duo as they posed hand-in-hand for the cameras.
Eddie Redmayne Adds a Splash of Colour
Hollywood actor Eddie Redmayne, 42, was another standout in the crowd.
Always the style icon, he kept it sharp in a classic suit but spiced things up with a bold green tie.
His wife, Hannah Bagshawe, 43, wowed in a berry-toned tea dress, cinched perfectly at the waist with a double leather belt—giving major Wimbledon elegance with a fashionable twist.
Cliff Richard and Isla Fisher Keep the Glamour Going
No Wimbledon would be complete without Sir Cliff Richard, and the 84-year-old didn’t disappoint.
Staying true to his signature flair, he rocked a vibrant, multicoloured blazer that made sure he didn’t go unnoticed in the crowd.
Meanwhile, Australian actress Isla Fisher, 49, made quite the entrance in a plunging floral maxi dress.
Her confident, summery look turned heads as she made her way to her seat—proving that even with temperatures soaring, fashion doesn’t take a day off.
Sam Thompson Shows Up With a Smile Post-Breakup
Newly single Sam Thompson, 32, showed up looking upbeat despite his recent split from influencer Samie Elishi, 25.
Dressed smartly and full of energy, he seemed more than ready to enjoy the matches and mingle with fellow attendees.
Huge Crowds, Hot Weather and One Big Letdown
While the celebrities soaked up the spotlight, tennis fans were having a very different experience outside the gates.
Thousands turned up early, with many queuing from the break of dawn to grab a spot on Day One.
Unfortunately, many were left disappointed.
By 9am, officials announced that the grounds were already at full capacity.
A loudspeaker message broke the bad news: no more fans would be allowed in unless they already had a ticket in hand.
For many who had travelled from across the UK and even abroad, it was a harsh start to the tournament.
Earl’s Court Overflows as Queue Fever Takes Over
Earl’s Court station, a key hub for Wimbledon-bound fans, was bursting at the seams with hopeful spectators.
Fans from around the world were caught in the chaos as security and staff tried to manage the crowd.
Adding to the pressure, the Met Office confirmed that this was the hottest start to Wimbledon ever recorded, with temperatures set to climb even higher.
The All England Club had to issue online warnings urging fans not to travel without tickets, citing “very busy” conditions in the queue and multiple-hour waits in the scorching heat.
