Tennis fans, brace yourselves because this year’s Wimbledon isn’t just serving up thrilling matches – it’s also delivering some seriously cute nail art.
Katie Boulter and Coco Gauff have both been spotted on the court with the most adorable Wimbledon-themed strawberry manicures, and we are totally here for it.
At Wimbledon, the tradition of enjoying strawberries and cream is almost as iconic as the tennis itself. Each year, approximately 27 tons of strawberries and 7,000 litres of cream are consumed by spectators during the tournament. The strawberries are picked fresh each day at 4am, primarily from farms in Kent, to ensure they are at their best for the day’s matches.
Their nail art isn’t just a nod to Wimbledon’s iconic snack, but also a celebration of their individuality. Both athletes have set a new standard for on-court style, proving that a little creativity can go a long way in circumventing the club’s strict all-white dress code.
