Just a few days into the 2025 Wimbledon tournament in London, a number of celebrity tennis enthusiasts were already sitting courtside in their VIP seats while taking in the matches—including Cate Blanchett, David Beckham, Priyanka Chopra, and Nick Jonas, to name a few. A-list couple Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge were also spotted at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
While the American singer and English actor typically have a grungier style sensibility, they both played into the signature preppy Wimbledon aesthetic for the outing. (For attendees, dressing up in a country club vibe is half the fun, after all.) Rodrigo traded in her love of mini lace and slip dresses—which she loves pairing with combat boots—in favor of a buttoned-up gingham shirt dress. She added itty-bitty shades. Partridge, meanwhile—who can often be spotted off-duty in baggy trousers or athleisure—went the snazzy route in a navy blazer, khaki trousers, and striped shirt-and-tie combo.
While there is no official Wimbledon dress code that is enforced, it goes without saying that attendees are encouraged to wear smart-casual pieces—including elegant dresses and smart tailoringTailoringThe craft of cutting, shaping, and sewing structured garments such as suits, blazers, and trousers to fit the body precisely.

While it proved to be a total style-180 for them, their complementary preppy outfits totally work for them. Should this be their new summer fashion mood? Something tells us they will be going back to their downtown-cool wardrobes very soon. But, for now, it’s fun to see them cosplay as posh tennis lovers.
