Netizens responded to the post in a variety of ways.

Speaking of Wimbledon, the Royal Box is a special seating section that is only available to VIPs, including celebrities, elite athletes, and royals. Based on suggestions from the Lawn Tennis Association and other tennis insiders, the chairwoman of the All England Club extends invitations only. Pre-match lunches and post-match tea are provided to guests, making it an extremely esteemed occasion. At Wimbledon 2025, several Bollywood stars were given access to the esteemed Royal Box.
A look at Wimbledon 2025 by Sonam Kapoor
At Wimbledon 2025, Sonam Kapoor attracted attention with one of the season’s most elegant and avant-garde ensembles. She was dressed in a cream pinstriped Ralph Lauren outfit with a double-breasted blazer that cost Rs 2.8 lakh and flared trousers that cost Rs 92,000. She added a playful twist to her smart ensemble by accessorising it with vintage Manolo Blahnik heels that were ingeniously embellished with little tennis balls.
She accessorised herself with Jessica McCormack jewellery, and two whimsical brooches from her own collection—shaped like a strawberry and a little tennis racquet—provided the ideal Wimbledon touch.
