Roger Federer and Anna Wintour go a long way back. The Vogue stalwart has always adored the Swiss Maestro, with the former often being spotted at his matches. Co-hosting this year’s Met Gala has only brought them closer. This time, however, it is Aryna Sabalenka whose day has been made by Federer’s friend and collaborator.

The British fashion magazine invited Aryna Sabalenka to the London show of Vogue World. Adorning a body-fitting shimmery tank top with a matching slit skirt, Sabalenka glittered at the event. Wearing similar shiny earrings and flaunting silver sandals, Sabalenka seemed to be in high spirits. Posing alongside her designer, Marco Capaldo, Sabalenka thanked them for a break. She stated, “Had the best time at Vogue World: London tonight! Thank you, Marco Capaldo and 16arlington for the most beautiful look.”
