Charithra Chandran became the unexpected centre of attention at Wimbledon 2025 after cameras caught her seated just behind Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro during the Sonay Kartal vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova match on Sunday.
While much of the media focused on Garfield’s courtside presence, it was the Bridgerton star’s elegant look that captivated viewers and went viral across TikTok and Instagram.

Chandran, attending as a Ralph Lauren ambassador, wore a crisp white shirt paired with a green cashmere sweater, luxe lambskin shorts, and white bellies. She completed the look with a signature Bridgerton-inspired hairstyle that drew admiration online.
As her images started to circulate widely, internet users couldn't help but wonder who she is. Born in Scotland to Indian Tamil parents, she studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford before joining the National Youth Theatre.
Known primarily for playing Edwina Sharma in Bridgerton Season 2, Chandran has also been a part of Alex Rider, Star Wars: Visions, and Dune: Prophecy.
Her upcoming film Christmas Karma, a Bollywood-style reimagining of A Christmas Carol, features an ensemble cast including Eva Longoria and Billy Porter.
Addressing her newfound Wimbledon fame, Chandran humorously stated on TikTok that going viral was "not on my 2025 bingo card.”
