Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer is no stranger to the world of fashion. He has been a brand ambassador for several luxury brands and has graced numerous magazine covers with his impeccable sense of style. However, his latest appearance at the 2023 Met Gala has garnered some negative attention from fans on social media.
Federer attended the event in a classic black tuxedo with a white shirt and black bow tie, which some Redditors described as “boring” and “predictable.” They were quick to compare his outfit to other celebrities who took more risks and made bold fashion statements on the red carpet. Met Gala is an event where celebrities tend to experiment with their outfit and Federer not doing that didn’t go well with fans.
Despite the criticism, there were still some fans who defended Federer’s outfit choice, pointing out that the Met Gala is a formal event and a classic tuxedo is always a safe and elegant choice. Federer himself has not responded to the criticism, but he did post a photo of himself in his Met Gala outfit on his social media accounts. On the contrary, fans gave it to Roger’s wife, Mirka for at least trying something unique.
Here are some fans’ reactions on Reddit:

Federer’s outfit may have been conservative compared to some of the other outfits on the red carpet, but it was still a stylish and sophisticated choice. Ultimately, fashion is subjective, and everyone has their own opinions and preferences.
While some Redditors may have slammed Federer for his “boring” outfit, it’s important to remember that fashion is not the most important aspect of a person’s life or career. Federer is widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time, and his contributions to the sport will always be more important than his fashion choices.
Federer is a 20 Grand Slam champion and has set the benchmark for others. He also held the World No. 1 ranking for a total of 310 weeks. Known for his precision and elegance on the court, Federer’s style of play is highly respected. His aggressive forehand and single-handed backhand make him a fierce competitor on all surfaces – grass, clay, and hard court – and he is the first player to win eight Wimbledon titles.
Off the court, Federer is known for his philanthropic work. He has also been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2006 and has been involved in various charitable causes, including relief efforts for victims of natural disasters.
