Celebs enjoyed portions of strawberries and cream before heading to their seats to watch Britain’s Harriet Dart in action during her first round match against France’s Diane Parry.
Rochelle, 34, arrived at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club dressed in a taupe suit and sunglasses, which she teamed with gold jewellery and a clutch bag while posing with husband Marvin Humes.
Mollie, 36, looked equally stylish wearing a plunging cream and black A line dress which she coordinated with her shoes and bag.
Frozen actress Idina, 52, was also spotted mingling in the crowds with her Wicked co-star Simon Adkins, and she dressed for the occasion in a pretty beige straw hat.
Turning up the heat at the tournament was Australian model Shanina Shaik, who went brales in a see-through top.
Strictly star Oti Mabuse, 32, looked sensational in a purple summer dress and yellow heels, stopping to smile for the cameras.
She walked arm-in-arm with her dapper husband Marius Iepure who matched a light linen jacket with suede loafers at the big event.
The catwalk beauty matched it with a cropped denim jacket and flares as she clutched her VIP pass.
Wimbledon legend Novak Djokovic was seen walking through the grounds in his kit and signed a giant tennis ball for a fan.
British tennis star Emma Raducanu smiled for the cameras in the evian VIP Suite dressed in sports attire, but she will not play at this year’s Wimbledon due to procedures on her hands and ankle back in May.
The 2021 US Open champion will miss the whole grass court season as she recovers from surgery.
Raducanu posted a photo smiling in a hospital bed and said in a hand-written note to her 2.5million Instagram followers: “It is safe to say the last ten months have been difficult as I dealt with a recurring injury on a bone of both hands.

“I tried my best to manage the pain and play through it for most of this year and end of last year by reducing practice load dramatically, missing weeks of training as well as cutting last season short to try (to) heal it. Unfortunately, it’s not enough.
“I’m having a minor procedure done on both hands to resolve the issues.
“I’m disappointed to share that I will be out for the next few months and while I am at it will have another minor procedure that is due on my ankle.
“It pains me that I will miss the summer events and I tried to downplay the issues so I thank all my fans who continued to support me when you did not know the facts.
“Looking forward to seeing you all back out there.”
Raducanu hopes to be training on the tennis court again by the end of the summer but her team are refusing to predict an exact return date to competition.
Wimbledon 2023 gets underway today (Monday, July 3) – one week later than usual before concluding with the Men’s Singles final on Sunday, July 16.
