Wimbledon

The royal box at Wimbledon's finals in England yesterday was full of famous faces. Kate Middleton, in a white look by Joseph, and her sister Pippa, in Project D, sat together in the stands as they watched Roger Federer take on Andy Murray. Both sisters attended matches earlier in the tournament, with Prince William joining Kate on Wednesday and James Middleton appearing at Pippa's side last week. Also on hand were David and Victoria Beckham, who stuck close together during the event. They shared a special moment with Kate when she stopped to greet them before taking her own seat. David and Victoria are in London with their four children ahead of daughter Harper's first birthday tomorrow.

The 2012 Wimbledon Championship finals are this weekend, and if you're planning a viewing party, then there are a few classic Wimbledon drinks and dainty dishes to prepare to keep you in line with the event's Victorian heritage. Still recovering from Fourth of July festivities? Don't worry: these Wimbledon-inspired recipes are all simple and require very little cooking. Think smoked salmon crostini, strawberries and cream, and Champagne.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were in the stands at Wimbledon today. The royals watched Roger Federer's victory over Mikhail Youzhny — which will move him on to the semifinals — and stayed for the Andy Murray and David Ferrer match afterward. Kate, who is a big tennis fan, sported a knit Alexander McQueen dress that she also wore during her trip to Canada with Prince William last year. She leaned in close to chat with her husband and cheered and clapped during the action.

It's been 15 months since Kate married Prince William, and since then, the pair have been busy traveling the world and focusing on philanthropic efforts close to home. The whirlwind year led to Kate winning this year's PopSugar 100, beating out stars from Beyoncé Knowles to Angelina Jolie for the top spot.

The stands at the Wimbledon tennis championships in London this week have been filled with famous faces despite the rain. Yesterday, Brooklyn Decker cheered on her husband, Andy Roddick, as he beat Jamie Baker. During a rain delay, Brooklyn headed indoors to hang out with doubles player Bob Bryan's baby daughter Micaela. The royal box at Wimbledon has also been full with Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, watching Roger Federer take on Italy's Fabio Fognini. Today, though, Pippa Middleton had the privilege of sitting in the royal seats with her brother James. Pippa wore a navy Orla Kiely dress and jacket to check out multiple matches on Center Court. Last year, Pippa brought boyfriend Alex Loudon to the tennis event, but this time it was all about family since Carole Middleton was also on hand. Kate attended in 2011 as well, and we're hoping the winner of PopSugar 100 makes an appearance this year!

Wimbledon, the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, began yesterday. Whether or not you're a fan of the sport, there are some fine international players to ogle on the courts. Athletes from around the world are grunting their way through the London games, and we've got our eyes on five in particular. Learn a little about these racket-wielding hotties now.

With Wimbledon kicking off today, we're admittedly preoccupied with the sport-chic style of tennis pros past and present. So, even if you're idea of "playing the game" is more of a spectator sport, we're helping you channel the vibe with our favorite selection of preppy polos, classic knits, and crisp pleats. Even if we won't be sitting front row at the matches, we can at least look the part — especially since any of these pieces would also look just as sweet any other day of Summer. Just click on to shop all the pieces we're loving just in time for Wimbledon.

The first week of Summer has come and gone, and it was a busy seven days! There was something for everyone, with Wimbledon drama, a muddy Glastonbury music festival, Susan Lucci's last Daytime Emmy Awards, a drug-friendly Miss USA pageant, and even a Lolita-filled anime convention. On top of that, we learned more about Bristol Palin's love life, Princess Diana's John Travolta connection, Michelle Obama's family dynamics, and the kissing couple at the Vancouver riots. See all the excitement from the week — including an adorable Harry Potter star being smooched by a fan — now!

Over the long weekend to celebrate our most patriotic of holidays, the international sports scene was booming with cycling, tennis, and soccer. Catch up with some of the world's sports news when you start the slideshow.
