Dustin Hoffman and his wife Lisa looked in jovial spirits as they cheered on Carlos Alcaraz during his thrilling match against Frances Tiafoe during the fifth day of Wimbledon.
The five-time Golden Globe winner, 86, cosied up to the beauty mogul, 69, as they were spotted in the centre court's Royal Box at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south-west London.
The Papillon star looked suave in a black two-piece suit which he layered over a white Oxford shirt a jazzy tie, with smart patent leather shoes.
Meanwhile Lisa made a fashion statement in a tan orange linen suit co-ord, adding an open baby blue shirt underneath with a white top.
The Lisa Hoffman Beauty founder opted for chic black stiletto, and carried her essentials in a large black leather tote bag.
She added a touch of bling with a gold set of small hoop earrings and a necklace.
The couple seemed in very high spirits while enjoying the gruelling match between the Spanish and American talents.
Businesswoman Lisa later shield behind a pair of black oversized shades as she was seen giggling and chatting with the actor.
The duo - who have been happily married since 1980 - seemed joyful and showed their support to the players clapping throughout the game.
Earlier at the star-studded sport event, Dustin and Lisa put on a very loved-up display as they made a stylish entrance holding hands.
They beamed stepping out in their best tennis attire to watch an array of highly-anticipated matches.
Elsewhere on the fifth day of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, Mollie King was the epitome of chic as she led the best looks, despite the wet weather.
The radio presenter, 37, channelled her Julia Roberts' Pretty Woman character as she stepped out in a brown and white polka dot halter neck dress.
She showcased her quirky sense of style with a lamp-inspired marble ball bag as she slipped into retro squared heels.
The blonde beauty, who attended the event with her partner Stuart Broad, accessorised with some 90s-inspired brown sunglasses and a pair of gold chunky hoop earrings.
Plenty of A-listers were snapped making an appearance as they enjoy a spot of tennis, including the likes of Kelly Brook, Lucy Mecklenburgh, Ryan Thomas, and more.
The match saw Alcaraz rally back from two sets to one down to show every bit of his championship pedigree.
The Spaniard was up against a version of Frances Tiafoe that has been lesser spotted this year up to this point.
With Tiafoe in full flight this was an agonising experience for Alcaraz, champion in the men's singles here a year ago, and so for the Spaniard to come through 5-7, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2 spoke volumes.
Tiafoe has been dealing with a variety of knee issues and looked like he was limited in his movement at the start of the week on the practice courts.
All that made him taking the first set versus Alcaraz from 2-4 and 0-30 down all the more remarkable.
Alcaraz cleaned up his game immensely in the second set, which he won 6-2, by reducing his unforced errors, which were 13 in the first set, to just four in the second.
Yet this was a version of Tiafoe that looked reminiscent of the player that slugged it out over five sets with Alcaraz two years ago in their US Open epic and by the time we reached the end of this gruelling affair there was lots said at the net following a warm embrace.
'Obviously it's always a big challenge,' Alcaraz told the BBC afterwards.
'He's a really talented player, really tough to play and you saw it once again. He deserves to fight for big things and it was really, really difficult for me to adapt my game, find solutions and put him in trouble.
