Coco Gauff and Ben Shelton were among the big names in action on Day 2 of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. With first-round action coming to a close, several players in the singles draw have stepped onto the courts at the All England Club.
Thus, it is a good time to examine some of the latest tennis looks that the top stars and newcomers have brought to the sport’s most popular venue. Here, we have listed five best and worst looks from Day 2 of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships:
Worst: Marta Kostyuk
Trending
The Wilson dress she wore during her first-round encounter against Veronika Erjavec featured cutouts at the waist, but it did not make for a flattering silhouette. The criss-cross back and frilled hem also failed to inspire the usual magic that one has come to associate with the brand.
The fact that Kostyuk wore a dreamy dress inspired by her wedding outfit from Wilson at last year’s Wimbledon makes this year’s look an even bigger disappointment.
Best: Coco Gauff
Who says white turns monotonous fast, and there’s very little room for experimenting? Look at Coco Gauff’s New Balance outfit featuring a statement embroidered top.
The top, which was laden with motifs of strawberries and butterflies, honouring Wimbledon’s rich legacy, may not be everyone's cup of tea, given its busy nature. Gauff’s effervescent energy, however, helped her carry it look well. The youngster paired it wonderfully well with a belted skirt and a large bow.
Worst: Lorenzo Musetti
Nothing about Lorenzo Musetti’s Wimbledon look felt right. Starting from the fit and material of the Henley neck t-shirt to the white compression sleeve to the giant logos on the headband, it was all a big miss.
The worst of all, however, has to be the t-shirt, which, quite simply put, looked cheap and poorly-made very early in the match itself. The mesh design around the neck and the somewhat padded collar also seemed like an odd choice, as they only made the rest of the fabric feel even flimsier.
Worst: Ben Shelton
Talking of flimsy, Ben Shelton’s On ensemble added another line of Grand Slam clothing that the brand should seriously consider trashing without a second thought.
The tank and shorts combo has been the go-to formula for On, which (thankfully) could not experiment with any more gradients given Wimbledon’s strict guidelines on colour in clothing. That, however, could not save the look from feeling reminiscent of the 2023 US Open trash bag top.
Crumbling in ways only a trash bag does at the first whiff of slight humidity, the outfit was not doing Shelton any favors.
Best: Wimbledon lucky loser Victoria Mboko
Wilson may have jumped the gun with the cuts and designs for Marta Kostyuk’s Wimbledon look, but it did have a winner to boast in the form of teen sensation Victoria Mboko.
The Canadian is fast becoming the new fashion favorite, courtesy of her smart selection of Wilson attires. Here at Wimbledon, Mboko chose to wear the brand Winning Tennis Dress, which features a classic wide collar, a front zipper, perforated panels, and a keyhole cutout.
The dress also looks great in motion, courtesy of the pleated skirt, and pairs well with the Wilson visor. Overall, an all-out winner from the youngster, who will get to wear the look for more matches than planned after having made it into the main draw as a lucky loser.
