Since 1877, the Wimbledon Championships have been held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club — and for just as long, it's been the place to see and be seen. 

This year was no exception — and though the real prize is on the court, showing up in style has become its own kind of victory.

Here are the best celebrity looks from the final weekend of the Grand Slam — from the iconic sunglasses worn by Anna Wintour and Morgan Riddle, to the practical-chic hand fans held by royalty, to Savile Row-inspired looks sported by Cynthia Erivo, Nicole Kidman and Henry Cavill.

Channelling the tournament's signature treat — strawberries and cream — Nicole Kidman wore her red hair down and dressed head to toe in menswear-inspired Brunello Cucinelli, in soft shades of cream and white.

The New York Times called Morgan Riddle "the most famous woman in men's tennis," and style blogs chronicle her every outfit. Here, she wears her signature statement shades: the Papillon sunglasses by Otra Eyewear in gold.

Henry Cavill

As a new Superman debuted in theatres this weekend, former Man of Steel Henry Cavill leaned into classic tailoring in a double-breasted navy blazer, white trousers, a striped Winchester shirt and a straw hat.

Even after stepping down as the editor of Vogue, Anna Wintour remains iconic — and her signature bob and oversized Chanel sunglasses are proof. Seated beside friend and designer Tom Ford, she wears a Thom Browne dropwaist dress.

With temperatures in the low 30s throughout the Finals weekend, hand fans were a popular sight in the crowd. Here, Princess Charlotte and Catherine, Princess of Wales, try to beat the heat with official Wimbledon Logo hand fans.

Canadian model, UN Goodwill Ambassador and wife of Idris Elba, Sabrina Dhowre Elba took the players' all-white dress code to heart — accessorising with a small silver macramé crystal bag from Kurt Geiger. 

Cynthia Erivo

Contrast collars — also known as banker's collars — evoke power and formality. Cynthia Erivo nods to this Savile Row staple in a crisp shirtdress pulled from Ralph Lauren's Spring 2014 ready-to-wear collection.

Keira Knightly

In a look straight off the Ralph Lauren Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear runway, actress Sonam Kapoor added a playful touch with two perfect brooches: a tennis racquet and an English strawberry.

All of Us Strangers co-stars Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal got the memo on statement sunglasses for the men's final on Sunday. Scott accessorized with a beige suit, shirt and tie, while Mescal opted for a navy blazer and a horse-themed tie.

Couples dressing doesn't need to be identical (read: boring). Here, Matthew McConaughey takes inspiration from the Championship's iconic green lawn with a bold green necktie paired with his blue linen suit, while Camila Alves McConaughey tempers her wide-legged, three piece white suit with a desert-inspired brown topper.
