The long-awaited day for Roger Federer fans finally came when the tennis legend gracefully walked the red carpet with his wife, Mirka Federer. This year, he certainly stole the show as a co-chair and not as a guest for the multi-millionaire event. However, after witnessing the Swiss Maestro and her wife mesmerize the Met Gala, the tennis community expressed their disappointment, believing Mirka had outshined her husband.

The 20-time Grand Slam winner has attended the elite event as a guest in 2017 and demonstrated his distinctive sense of style. But this time he opted for a slightly more stable piece of tux, while his wife undoubtedly took a fashion risk by trying something that fit the event’s theme.

Tennis fans react to Roger Federer’s and Mirka’s appearance

The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted the year’s glitziest fundraising gala on Monday. This year, the Swiss ace co-chaired the event and walked the red carpet with his wife. Fans of the ‘Swiss Maestro’ on Twitter lauded the tennis legend’s wife for her stunning appearance, as some of the pictures started circulating online. On the other hand, it is fair to say that some of them were less than happy about the tennis legend’s uninspiring attire.

Unlike her husband, who went for a sleek and understated look, Mirka donned a long, pin-feathered dress with a pink bow as a belt that perfectly complemented the Met Gala’s ‘Karl Lagerfeld- A Line of Beauty’ theme for the year. Their contrasting appearances at the 2023 Met Gala appearance got a mixed reaction from the tennis world.

A fan looked back at the tennis star’s outfit choice in 2017 Met Gala and wrote, “The snake suit was better at least, he’s really brought this onto himself.”

Here are some similar reactions. This fan wasn’t happy about the criticism that was coming the way of Federer.

Another fan expressed his disappointment at the minimalistic look of the Swiss tennis legend.

Despite labelling him as a “boring suit man”, this fan stood by Federer.

Was Federer’s suit too ‘basic’? This fan certainly thinks so.

Can other players’ fans criticize the Swiss Maestro? Not according to this fan.

The 41-year-old tennis player’s wife was dressed elegantly and distinctively, and in some ways, she almost overshadowed him. But there’s nothing to worry about. Recently, the tennis legend hailed his wife as they slayed it together at the multi-millionaire event.
