Nicole looked glamorous at the tennis in a chic suit that featured pocket detailing and three buttons. 

She completed her look with a tailored white jacket and cream loafers, and kept her accessories to a minimum with a simple wrist watch.

The Moulin Rouge! star wore her strawberry blonde tresses in a low-maintenance side ponytail for the outing, and kept her makeup palette understated for the hottest ticket in town.

It comes after Schumer recently slammed celebrities for losing weight but not admitting to using Ozempic.

The actress told stars to ‘just stop hiding’ taking the diabetes drug during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in June.

The star also revealed her experiences on Ozempic, which made her ‘skinny’ and ‘sick’ – stopping her playing with son Gene, three.

She said: ‘You are on Ozempic or one of those things or you got work done. Just stop’ [hiding their use of the Type II diabetes drug.]

‘Be real with the people. When I got lipo, I said I got lipo.’ Schumer underwent liposuction in January 2022 and dropped to 170lbs.

The star revealed she took Ozempic ‘like a year ago’ and while she saw immediate results, semaglutude was not ‘livable’ as a weight loss option.

She said: ‘I was one of those people that felt so sick and couldn’t play with my son.

‘I was so skinny, and he’s throwing a ball at me, and [I couldn’t].’
