All eyes were on Kate Middleton as she graced Wimbledon with her presence over the weekend. And I can see why. Pictures showed the Princess of Wales looking stunning while rocking a purple dress, after all. However, while eagle-eyed fans, including myself, were busy admiring her, we may have missed the stars that were sitting behind her.

Seated just two rows behind Middleton in the royal box was none other than Julia Roberts. Yes, that Julia Roberts. The Academy Award-winning A-list actress was present in the royal box on Sunday, July 14 at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London.

Roberts also looked lovely in an all-white number with red detail. Her blonde hair was worn down and she accessorized with an orange bag and black sunglasses.

The Pretty Woman actress wasn’t the only face that was spotted. She was sat next to Benedict Cumberbatch, who is respected in his own right. The award-winning English actor, who notably portrays Doctor Strange in the Marvel films, was sat right next to Roberts. He also looked stylish wearing a light blue suit, white shirt and black tie.

And the star-power doesn’t stop there.

Sat on the other side of Roberts was her husband, cinematographer Daniel Moder. He’s worked on films such as Secret in Their Eyes and Fireflies in the Garden—both of which boast ensemble casts. He’s also worked on the hit Netflix drama Dead to Me.

Moder also sported a suit for the event, opting for navy blue, and accessories with a pair of black shades.

2024 Wimbledon was, no doubt, a star-studded event and only the second public appearance for Middleton since announcing her cancer diagnosis.

Her first was at Trooping the Colour earlier this year with Prince William and their three adorable kids.
