​The 2026 Championships continued on day two as a star-studded crowd, including royals and celebrities, gathered at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club for one of the summer’s biggest social events. After defending men’s champion Jannik Sinner kicked off his title defense on Centre Court on Monday, British favorite Katie Boulter was due to start her Wimbledon campaign, though Jack Draper faced a notable withdrawal from the tournament. Adding to the excitement, Serena Williams announced a highly anticipated return to grass, set to face Maya Joint in the day’s third match, marking her first singles appearance in 1,396 days.
Beside the on-course drama, attention remained firmly on the stylish arrivals in the Royal Box and VIP hospitality areas. HELLO! hosted guests in partnership with Emirates, the Official Airline Partner of The Championships, again drawing a flotilla of A-listers. Among the notable attendees were heiress Nicky Hilton, actress Vanessa Williams, actor Will Peltz, and television star Maura Higgins, all bringing their signature summer style to the exclusive suites.
Nicky Hilton looked picture-perfect in a blue-and-white striped midi dress with an asymmetric hem, paired with a powder-blue handbag, glamorous sunglasses, and nude court shoes. Vanessa Williams stood out in a black-and-white abstract-printed jumpsuit with a crossover halter neckline and wide-leg trousers, blending comfort with court-side glamour. Will Peltz and Kenya Kinski-Jones arrived together in a stylish, sporty-chic ensemble: Kenya sported a crisp polo and tailored shorts with a black belt and matching block-heel mules, while Will wore an oversized chocolate-brown suit over a classic white shirt for a contemporary, relaxed look.
