DUBAI: Swedish-born Somali model Ikram Abdi was spotted at Wimbledon on Monday and was photographed at the Ralph Lauren Suite before she took in a game on day eight of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
Abdi showed off classic summer stripes in the form of a pant suit from the brand’s Polo Ralph Lauren line. She sat alongside entertainment industry insiders including British actress Jodie Turner-Smith and British Netflix star Yasmin Finney.

Tony Award-winning British actress Sophie Okoneda was also photographed at the Ralph Lauren Suite, where she showed off a cream-and-white tailored look.
Wimbledon has had no shortage of celebrity attendees, with the coveted Royal Box playing host to a number of A-list stars.
Situated in the prime-viewing slot at Centre Court, the Royal Box has been a hot ticket since 1922 and it has 74 exclusive seats. Invitations are sent by the Chairman of the All England Club, but members of The Championships’ Organising Committee and The Lawn Tennis Association can make suggestions, according to the Independent.
Monday’s guest list included Lenny Henry, Cliff Richard, Nicole Scherzinger and Prince Albert of Monaco.
Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault, David Beckham, Dave Grohl and Dustin Hoffman are just a few of the other celebrities who have been spotted in the crowd at Wimbledon this year.
It is the second time Abdi may have crossed paths with US Mexican actress Hayek, who was also spotted at an event in London in June.
Qatar’s Fashion Trust Arabia held a party at Claridge’s Hotel in London on June 17 to celebrate its cohort of winners for 2023.
Abdi attended the event alongside Hayek and the prize-winning designers.
Abdi made her catwalk debut in 2018 during London Modest Fashion Week. She would go on to walk for the likes of Iceberg and Charles Jeffrey, as well as front campaigns for major international brands, including Burberry and Nike.
