Novak Djokovic’s Spectacular Triumph Against Roger Federer Was Once Missed by F1 Titan Lewis Hamilton After Wimbledon Faux Pas

Lewis Hamilton is not just one of the biggest racing pilots of all time, he is also an influential fashionista. The Mercedes man has had several endeavors with multiple fashion giants like Tommy Hilfiger, Valentino, and more. However, there was an instance when the Mercedes driver suffered a rather embarrassing moment with his outfit during the 2015 Wimbledon final between Tennis titans Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.

The 7-time champion was denied entry into the Royal box of the event after he failed to meet the Lawn Tennis Club’s strict Royal Box dress code. It was a rather humiliating moment for the Formula 1 legend.

What is the Royal Box dress code and what did Hamilton wear?

Everyone invited to the Royal Box has to follow its strict dress code, no matter how big a personality you might be. Lewis could have avoided the awkward public confrontation had he just read the dress code better.

The Royal dress code asks men to wear a jacket with a tie in order to look respectable and value the long-lasting traditions of one of Tennis’ oldest tournaments. Wimbledon is not just strict towards the fans but also puts players under the microscope to make sure the code is being followed.

However, Hamilton wore a Fedora along with a floral shirt tucked in. Additionally, he styled it with tasseled loafers and a large diamond earring.
