Dressed in the chic ensemble, she was seen enjoying the matches and mingling with fellow celebrities.

The actress took to her Instagram Story to share why she decided to recycle the season two dress.

She wrote, “The @evianwater suite at Wimbledon asked us to dress sustainably so I wore my old @reformation dress from The Good Place.”

Jamil will next appear on screen in Pixar's upcoming animation Elio, alongside Barbie's America Ferrera, Single Parents star Brad Garrett and Yonas Kibreab.

The animation will be written and directed by Coco's Adrian Molina, and is slated for a release in 2025.
