‘Bridesmaids' Star Unrecognizable While Attending Wimbledon in Quirky-But-Classy Blazer, Shorts and Boots Combo

A familiar face from the big screen generated a significant buzz at Wimbledon this week, but for an unexpected O'Dowd, the beloved Bridesmaids star, appeared almost unrecognizable, sporting a distinctively quirky-but-classy ensemble that stood out from the crowd at the prestigious tennis tournament. O'Dowd's standout look at the event perfectly blended unconventional elements with a touch of sophistication. He sported a crisp mint green blazer, offering a fresh, summery hue. This vibrant jacket contrasted playfully with navy shorts, creating a relaxed yet unexpectedly chic silhouette. Grounding the unique outfit, O'Dowd opted for khaki Chelsea boots, adding an earthy, rugged edge to the otherwise light attire. His bright and bold choice for a top, a bright blue shirt which looked to be adorned with a lemon print, injected a whimsical and very summery motif, ensuring his look was far from traditional Wimbledon fashion. Unlike the strict dress code mandated for the Royal Box, which requires attendees to dress smartly, Wimbledon's general spectator areas do not enforce a formal dress code. However, a tradition of smart-casual attire, often leaning towards summer elegance, subtly prevails among attendees. O'Dowd's full ensemble, particularly the unique combination of a blazer and Chelsea boots with shorts, offered a distinctive and fashion-forward take on the unwritten style norms of the prestigious event. This particular style choice might come as a delightful surprise to audiences most familiar with O'Dowd's extensive acting career, often characterized by his charming and affable roles. The Irish actor gained widespread recognition as Officer Rhodes in the hit 2011 comedy Bridesmaids, a role that cemented his status as a beloved comedic talent. O'Dowd captivated audiences as Roy Trenneman in the British cult fave The IT Crowd and showcased his dramatic range in critically acclaimed series like Girls and Get Shorty. His film roles also include appearances in This Is 40, St. Vincent, Molly's Game, and Slumberland. Chris O'Dowd attended the event with his wife, British author, television presenter, and fashion designer Dawn O'Porter. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved
