Bec Judd has firmly established her position as the reigning queen of the WAGs, thanks to her consistently glamorous appearances throughout the past week at the Australian Open in Melbourne. The wife of celebrated AFL star Chris Judd has been a prominent fixture at the prestigious tennis tournament, and her prime courtside location comes with a staggering price tag that reflects her elite status.
The Extravagant Cost of Courtside Privilege
The 43-year-old fashion designer and influencer has been spotted occupying the highly coveted on-court seats at Rod Laver Arena during multiple matches. These exclusive spots, which offer an unparalleled and unrestricted view of the action, can command prices as high as $20,000, equivalent to approximately £16,000. Notably, these premium seats were sold out well in advance, underscoring their desirability among the affluent and famous.
A-List Company and Lavish Perks
Bec Judd is keeping illustrious company in her exclusive section, rubbing shoulders with fellow celebrities such as Scottish actor Gerard Butler and Michele Greene, the co-founder of the activewear brand Jaggad. The exorbitant ticket price encompasses far more than just a premium vantage point. Guests are treated to a gourmet meal crafted by top chef Shimpei Raikuni from Brisbane's renowned Sushi Room, served within a private dining area. The luxury experience is further enhanced by the serving of Piper Heidsieck champagne and the provision of a personal chauffeur to transport attendees to and from the venue.
Bec herself shared a glimpse of this opulent experience on her Instagram Stories, posting a photo with the caption: 'Literally sitting on the court. Thank you Piper Heidsieck!'
High-End Events and Fashion Statements
Beyond the tennis, Bec Judd has been a fixture at a series of high-profile events surrounding the Australian Open. Last week, she and her husband Chris attended an exclusive Piper-Heidsieck party before taking in a match. For the occasion, Bec turned heads in a stunning ombré two-piece ensemble, featuring a one-shoulder top paired with a matching maxi skirt in shades of white and burnt orange. The skirt's thigh-high split showcased her slender legs, and she accessorised with a pair of blue, fluffy Hermès sandals, cat's-eye sunglasses, and a designer crossbody bag.
Chris Judd, aged 42, complemented her style with his own chic attire, donning a pale blue dress shirt and white trousers, finished with cream leather loafers. The couple shared affectionate moments and posed for photographs while enjoying a drink in the stands.
A Sparkling Update: The New Engagement Ring
Adding to the glamour, Bec Judd also chose this high-profile week to reveal her newly reset diamond engagement ring. She showcased the updated sparkler in an Instagram post, enthusiastically exclaiming, 'How good does it look?!' and sharing multiple photos of the fresh design. This marks another alteration to the ring; in 2019, she added a diamond halo to the original plain white gold band. She has since removed that halo and reset the band with a prominent pear-shaped diamond.
The original ring was a 1.62-carat diamond sparkler with which Chris Judd proposed back in 2009. This latest reset further cements Bec's status as a fashion and lifestyle icon, seamlessly blending high-stakes sporting events with personal luxury and style evolution.
