Swiss star joined by wife for the famously fashionable event in New York City

When you’re invited to the gala known around the globe for hosting the biggest names in fashion, movies, music and modeling, what do you wear?

For Roger Federer, it was a Gucci tuxedo… with a crystal cobra on the back.

The 35-year-old World No. 4 and his wife, Mirka, looked stunning as they attended the ‘Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between’ Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday night. Among those in attendance at the hottest ticket in New York City were Alex Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez, Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian West and Tom Ford, and the 91-time ATP World Tour titlist looked to have enjoyed sartorially schmoozing with Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.

Federer also managed to grab a photobomb by actor Hugh Jackman.

The Swiss star is no stranger to style. At the end of 2016, he was crowned 2016’s Most Stylish Man by GQ after fans voted him king. In April, Federer opened up to the men’s style magazine as he fashionably posed in the Swiss mountains.
