Ananya Panday Attends Wimbledon 2026, Showcases Chic Look In Red Dress. See Pics
Ananya Panday turned heads at Wimbledon 2026, ditching traditional courtside neutrals for a striking red Ralph Lauren dress and chic accessories.
The historic grass courts of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) in London are globally renowned for their strict traditions, pristine green turf, and an unwritten rule of sophisticated spectator style that usually leans toward crisp whites, beige layers, and soft pastel hues. However, Bollywood’s reigning fashion IT-girl, Ananya Panday, completely threw out the conventional style playbook at the 2026 Wimbledon Men’s Singles Semi-Finals. Making a striking debut at the tennis tournament, the actress proved that courtside elegance extends far beyond the usual muted tones, turning every single head in a vibrant red ensemble.
Stepping out into the London sunshine, Ananya Panday opted for a statement piece from a brand synonymous with classic courtside style: Ralph Lauren. She wore the label’s highly coveted Marigot cotton-blend poplin day dress.

The midi-length crimson number beautifully exuded effortless daytime sophistication. The dress featured a classic, flattering sweetheart neckline held up by delicate spaghetti straps, paired with a structured, fitted bodice that showcased subtle seam detailing to sharply accentuate her waistline. The true showstopper of the outfit, however, was the flowy, lightweight A-line midi skirt that caught the breeze and moved with absolute grace as she navigated the star-studded venue.
Rather than over-accessorising the vibrant outfit, Ananya leaned heavily into a refined, "less is more" approach that radiated distinct Parisian-chic charm. She layered a minimal gold jewellery stack, consisting of a slim gold bracelet and a few dainty rings. To protect against the midday glare, she added oversized sunglasses that lent a relaxed, off-duty celebrity touch to the luxurious ensemble. For footwear, she slipped into a pair of sleek, tan strappy heeled sandals that elegantly elongated her frame. The piece de resistance of her accessories was a vibrant Chanel Tweed Flap Bag, which served as a gorgeous, high-fashion structural contrast to the dress.

She left her hair down, cascading past her shoulders in loose, soft locks with a gentle wavy touch. Her makeup featured a radiant, glowing base, immaculately defined eyebrows, kohl-rimmed eyes with a sharp winged eyeliner touch, and a dark-red lip colour that perfectly matched the crimson hue of her outfit.
Her appearance at Wimbledon comes on the heels of a massive global fashion milestone. Just days prior, Ananya was spotted making waves at the Paris Haute Couture Week, where she attended Chanel’s latest high-profile presentation. The spotting solidified her skyrocketing global status, as the actress holds the title of being Chanel's first-ever brand ambassador from India.
Ananya was far from the only major Indian star soaking in the tennis action this summer. A large contingent of prominent Indian film industry personalities have been spotted courtside throughout the Wimbledon 2026 tournament, including Lara Dutta, Sreeleela, Ayesha Khan, and Kalyani Priyadarshan. Her high-fashion appearance also closely followed that of global sensation Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who made a glamorous appearance at the Wimbledon women's singles semi-final match between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova.
Beyond the world of international fashion weeks and elite sports boxes, Ananya has been focused on her cinematic journey. She was last seen on the silver screen in Dharma Productions’ ‘Chand Mera Dil’, co-starring Lakshya. Released in theatres on May 22, 2026, ‘Chand Mera Dil’ unfortunately earned mixed-to-negative reviews from film critics.
