Jennifer Lopez, the American singer and actress, attended the men's singles final at Wimbledon on Sunday, July 12, but faced criticism for one item of her outfit: a large woven sunhat. The accessory, which covered her head, face, and shoulders, was deemed by some spectators as obstructive and inappropriate for the setting.
The Outfit and the Backlash
Lopez wore a sophisticated sleeveless midi wrap dress in a beige and cream shade, paired with a Ralph Lauren Collection RL 888 bag, a Cartier Tortue watch, and strappy sandal heels. However, the hat drew the most attention. Fans took to social media to express their frustration, with one commenter stating, "That hat is ridiculous." Another added, "Why would anyone wear a hat like this to a match." A third person noted, "I will only accept critiques that address possible view-blocking for the folks behind her. Otherwise, the hat is perfect, she looks awesome." One user directly addressed Lopez, saying, "@JLo this type of hat is inappropriate for such events! You should do your homework lady!"
The Match and Other Celebrities
The final saw Jannik Sinner defeat Alexander Zverev in four sets to retain his Wimbledon title, overcoming a first-set loss. Among the celebrities in attendance were Princess Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte. Prince Louis did not attend. The royal family was seen smiling and laughing, and British Wimbledon semi-finalist Arthur Fery invited George and Charlotte to play tennis with him. Other stars included Tom Hiddleston, Andrew Garfield, Anna Wintour, Nicole Kidman, Rami Malek, Mel B, Cynthia Erivo, Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller, Liam Hemsworth, and Lily Collins.
