After shining on the red carpet of Cannes in May, it was time for global celebrities to gather again at the prestigious Roland Garros tennis tournament in June. While the competition is one of the most esteemed in the world, it’s evident that the real spectacle often occurs in the stands just as much as it does on the clay courts.
On June 6th, after the women’s singles semi-finals—where the rising French star Loïs Boisson unfortunately faced defeat—attention shifted to the men’s matches. The court Philippe-Chatrier hosted exciting duels, featuring top players like Jannik Sinner versus Novak Djokovic and Lorenzo Musetti against Carlos Alcaraz. Not only were the matches the main event, but the stars, often attending with their partners, added to the allure of the occasion.
Tender Couples in the Stands
Among the notable couples present were the world-renowned actor Eddie Redmayne and his wife, Hannah Bagshawe. Nearby, Anne-Sophie Lapix momentarily put aside her recent demise from the evening news to enjoy the matches with Arthur Sadoun. Following the game closely were Vianney and his girlfriend Catherine Robert, along with former French team goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, who attended with his wife, Marion.
Without his brothers but with his partner, Vassili Schneider made an appearance in the stands. Similarly, Nicolas Duvauchelle was there with his wife Chloé Roy. Observers noted the affectionate gestures between Benjamin Lavernhe and Rebecca Marder, while Romeo Beckham was spotted making his first public appearance since his breakup with Kim Turnbull.
Stars Solo or Accompanied
Despite the romantic atmosphere reminiscent of a candlelit evening on June 6, some stars opted to enjoy the event solo. These included Patrick Bruel, Pierre Niney, Pierre Richard, and Anne Parillaud. After showcasing her affection for Frédéric Suant during the initial week, Laeticia Hallyday was seen watching the semi-finals alone. She had the opportunity to cross paths with former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry as well as Basile Boli and Benoît Paire, who opted for a night out with friends instead.
As expected, the glitz and glamor of the occasion drew attention not only to the players on the court but also to the celebrities who brightened the stands. While the tennis world saw intense matches and thrilling rallies, the stars offered a different kind of entertainment, showcasing their relationships—whether simmering romance or simple friendships—creating a captivating atmosphere that was almost as exciting as the matches themselves.
