The big Federer show in New York

Mounted the sunglasses. The suit fits. And the brand new Rolex on the wrist should not be missing either. Everything fits like a glove. Federer once again shows how well he fits into the world of glamour, at the 2023 Met Gala.

This is not a new finding. Nor are comparisons to James Bond. They are not far-fetched tonight. Federer is elegant and classy, ​​has a plan for the evening like 007 would. Not a trace of stage fright next to fellow moderators Dua Lipa, Penélope Cruz and Michaela Coel.

New York is at his feet

Performing at the prestigious Met Gala is something like the media highlight of a trip to New York, which could also be a promotional tour. By stealing a Twitter post from friend and entertainment colleague Trevor Noah, he once again recalled the Switzerland Tourism ad campaign (see video below). “A piece of home in the Big Apple,” both post a selfie with appropriate advertising in Time Square – Federer being the fastest.

Four days ago, Federer announced a joint collection with brand eyewear manufacturer Oliver Peoples – and immediately donned the stylish sunglasses at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A homage to Karl Lagerfeld, but also cleverly staged self-marketing.

If you look closely, you can also see a Rolex on Federer’s arm. But not just any, but the latest model, which was announced just a month ago and is available from CHF 21,000. Speaking to men’s magazine “GQ,” which had named Federer “the most stylish man of the decade” in the 2010s, he said of the watch, “It brings timeless elegance to my take on this year’s Met Gala.” As timelessly elegant as his dark tuxedo. Unlike in 2017, when he caused a sensation with a cobra on his back on his first visit to the Met Gala. That also fits together.

Expert first, then moderator?

He didn’t have to prove it to anyone anymore, but he did: Federer shines on stage, in front of the camera – or simply in the center of attention. Even as a retired tennis player, he has remained an entertainer. Rumors of him returning to Wimbledon as a TV pundit have been circulating for some time. Every TV station should cry for him.

And an expert can quickly become a moderator. Gary Lineker, a former professional footballer and now the BBC’s star presenter, is just one example. Fortunately, BBC is also one of the channels where Federer could soon make his debut as a TV pundit. (dti)
