Rock legend Dave Grohl looked unrecognisable as he stepped out in a sophisticated suit ensemble for Wimbledon – worlds away from his usual style.

The Foo Fighters drummer, 55, looked almost unrecognisable as he opted for a manicured look for day 2 of the tennis tournament

His long hair that’s usually left straggly and loose was combed with his hair tied back into a chic ponytail. Similarly, his greying beard was trimmed and neat.

Instead of his shirt and jeans combo in a dark palette, Grohl wore a tailored wide lapel suit, complete with a crisp white shirt, golden yellow tie, and Dolce and Gabbana brown loafers.

The former Nirvana band member was joined by his wife Jordyn Blum, for this event, who wore a stunning pale blue ensemble with her white-blond hair tied into a neat style. 

They both wore sunglasses on the rather miserable day in London, but were still recognisable to eagle-eyed fans.

David Beckham and Katherine Jenkins were also spotted at Wimbledon, attending day one on Monday.

The pair had an awkward encounter – sitting only inches away from each other at a match following years of awkward clashes and a rumoured affair.

The football legend, 49, and the singer, 44, share a checkered past after he criticised her receiving an OBE in 2018.

In a leaked e-mail to his advisor, the former England captain is said to have complained: ‘Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops plus taking coke.’

Classical singer Katherine was presented an OBE at Buckingham Palace that year for her contributions to music and charity – including supporting the troops on the front lines.

Things have remained frosty between the pair in the years which followed, with David reportedly offering no apology for his remarks.

Fast-forward to now, the pair found themselves seated close together in the royal box at Wimbledon, where David is a regular attendee of the tournament.

David’s cruel words came six years after rumours of an affair between the two – hotly denied by Katherine, who took to X (then Twitter) to refute the allegations.

In August 2012, Katherine wrote: ‘Dear Twitter friends, I’ve read some horrible rumours on here & want u 2 know I absolutely deny I’ve had an affair with David Beckham.

‘The rumours are very hurtful, untrue & my lawyers tell me actionable,’ she said.

David also denied the affair. His PR released a statement at the time, telling Glamour UK that there was ‘not one jot of truth’ to the rumours.

If things are still chilly between Katherine and footballer David, that’s because he never issued any further comment on his remarks.

Katherine told The Sun at the time: ‘It’s obviously disappointing. I’ve never heard anything from them about it.

‘You just think, “Aw, I wasn’t doing anything.” To get caught up in that wasn’t pleasant. I don’t know why again, that was aimed at me.

‘I also don’t feel the need to defend this, by the way. I know what I’ve done and when I got the OBE it was given to me for music, and for charity,’ she finished.

The diva has previously admitted to using the drug, but turned her life around when she signed her first record deal aged 23.

David attended today’s Wimbledon match with mum Sandra, 75, where they were then sitting – just in front of Katherine, who was with her husband Andrew Levitas, 46.

As the tournament got underway, Katherine could be seen chatting to Pointless host Alexander Armstrong, 54, who was seated on her other side.

David, meanwhile, rubbed shoulders with national treasure and fellow David Sir David Attenborough, 98.

The day one event was also attended by the likes of Myleene Klass, Kirsty Gallacher and Sir Cliff Richard.

Other stars spotted at Wimbledon day two included Rebel Wilson, Duran Duran frontman, Simon Le Bon, and former tennis player, Laura Robson.

Plenty more A-listers and even royals are expected to descend upon the tennis tournament as the week continues.
