Melbourne Park has once again played host to a glittering array of celebrities during the 2026 Australian Open. While tennis stars like Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic battled on court, the stands were filled with A-listers including 'Sex and the City' actor Evan Handler and billionaire Bill Gates.
Over the years, the tournament has attracted a host of famous faces. In 2024, Australian model Elle Macpherson attended with her partner Doyle Bramhall, while actress Ana de Armas presented the trophy at the men's singles final. Action star Jackie Chan was spotted front row at Rod Laver Arena during the 2025 finals weekend.
Past celebrity attendees include Will Smith in 2018, Charlize Theron in 2006, and Chris Hemsworth with his wife Elsa Pataky in 2018. Elizabeth Hurley attended with cricketer Shane Warne in 2013, and Gordon Ramsay watched Rafael Nadal's match in 2018. Australian stars Kylie Minogue, Olivia Newton-John, and Rebel Wilson have also been seen in the crowd over the years.
