Roger Federer returned to the Met Gala on Monday for the first time since 2017, when he intrigued fans worldwide in a crystal cobra on his tuxedo.
Federer wore a less adventurous outfit on Monday evening, but the GQ’s Most Stylish Man of the Decade was in his element in at The Metropolitan Museum Of Art.
Earlier in the day, the Swiss legend joined friend and Editor in Chief of Vogue Anna Wintour for a look at The Costume Institute’s exhibition — Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.

Federer enjoyed his time in New York ahead of the Met Gala. The Swiss visited the Cary Leeds Center to speak with local junior players. He also caught up with comedian Trevor Noah.

Plenty of fans were also intrigued by a post Federer made at a local restaurant. The 41-year-old, who retired at last year’s Laver Cup, indulged in a burger and fries.
Federer was not the only tennis star in attendance at the Met Gala. Former World No. 1 Andy Roddick and his wife, Brooklyn Decker, were also there.
