David Beckham, looking dapper in a BOSS suit, attends Wimbledon with his mother, Sandra. The event also sees Katherine Jenkins, Myleene Klass, Kirsty Gallacher, and more celebrities in attendance.
Bollywood Fever: David Beckham looked as dapper as ever as he arrived at Wimbledon for the first day of tennis.
The iconic annual event at SW19 is underway once again today (Monday, July 1), attracting an array of celebrities who will watch as the world’s best take to Centre Court.
David, a regular at the tournament, looked smart in a stunning BOSS suit for a date with his mum, Sandra. He looked sleek in the bespoke beige two-piece, paired with a blue cotton shirt and golden tie. The suit choice comes just days after he signed a mega deal to be the luxury brand’s global ambassador. To accessorize, he opted for a pair of smart sunglasses from his own DB Eyewear range.
However, he faced a potentially awkward meeting with Katherine Jenkins after he previously refused to apologize for his strong words regarding her OBE. David, who himself was awarded the honour in 2023 for his services to football, spoke out after Katherine’s accolade was awarded in 2018.
The former England football captain, 49, was reportedly less than impressed that he hadn’t received a further honour and name-dropped the Welsh singer, 44, in an angry email which was later leaked online. David’s alleged words to an advisor read: “Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops plus taking coke. F***ing joke.”
Katherine later said his apparent words were hurtful, but claimed she hadn’t reached out to him for clarity or received an apology. Katherine, who was spotted sitting a row behind him as they took in the opening day’s action, previously said David’s comments “didn’t matter.” She later insisted her focus was on “my kids, my family, my singing, my charities,” calling everything else “just white noise in the background”.
Speaking to The Sun, Katherine said: “It’s obviously disappointing. I’ve never heard anything from them about it. You just think, ‘Aw, I wasn’t doing anything.’ To get caught up in that wasn’t pleasant. I don’t know why, again, that was aimed at me. I also don’t feel the need to defend this, by the way. I know what I’ve done and when I got the OBE it was given to me for music, and for charity.”
The pair had previously been accused of having an affair, with Katherine taking to social media to quickly shut down such claims. In August 2012, when the speculation reached fever pitch, Katherine took to Twitter to say: “Dear Twitter friends, I’ve read some horrible rumours on here & want u 2 know I absolutely deny I’ve had an affair with David Beckham. The rumours are very hurtful, untrue & my lawyers tell me actionable.”
At Wimbledon today, Katherine sported an elegant white gown and chunky black-framed sunglasses as she sat alongside Andrew Levitas. The pair had earlier strolled hand-in-hand to the event.
David was also seen having a chat with veteran TV broadcaster and biologist Sir David Attenborough. The 98-year-old looked amazing as he was all smiles while wearing a navy suit and white shirt combo, paired with a multi-coloured patterned tie.
Following in Katherine’s footsteps to don the all-white attire usually worn on the courts were Myleene Klass and Kirsty Gallacher, both of whom opted for crisp summer outfits. Both looked amazing in stylish trouser suits.
Elsewhere, Sir Cliff Richard gave the thumbs up to photographers as he arrived at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Steph McGovern and Lorraine Kelly were also present, posing for pictures alongside Myleene with Champagne Lanson at The Championships.
