All eyes were not only on the court during this year’s Wimbledon, Avneet Kaur’s outfit was what caused a frenzy on social media. The popular social media influencer and budding actress wore a white low-rise mini skirt matched with a body-hugging top, heels, and a teeny Hermes Birkin bag for her first Wimbledon appearance. While her dress made heads turn, it did not agree with most netizens who thought it was inappropriate and too revealing for Wimbledon’s historically graceful and modest dress code.
On social media, particularly on Reddit, users condemned Avneet’s appearance as “inappropriate” and “too revealing” for an occasion synonymous with class and formality. Some wondered how she even managed to get into such a high-profile place dressed like that, particularly within the royal box. Some attempted to come to her defense, noting that tennis players themselves wear skirts on the court, but the general opinion was against her, with most people commenting that her dress appeared more appropriate for a party than a world-renowned tennis tournament.
Even on the same day, Bollywood star couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma also graced the event. Their outfit selection, Anushka in a white pantsuit and Virat in a brown suit, also got a positive response online. While many fans commented that the couple was a perfect example of the elegance and poise that the tennis event demands and was the perfect opposite of Avneet’s colorful attire.
At the same time, actress Amy Jackson was also present and won rave reviews for her stylish outfit. Wearing a sleek midi skirt, top, and a white blazer with understated accessories, Amy’s attire deftly embodied Wimbledon’s classic fashion flair. Followers liked the way her look honored the occasion’s heritage yet stood out for its poise and sophistication.
This made everyone talk about celebrity style, particularly when going to classical affairs such as Wimbledon. While self-expression and individuality are integral aspects of current fashion, these sorts of events tend to require a balance of the two with regard to the environment. For a lot of people, Amy Jackson got the balance just right. And as for Avneet Kaur, people are still debating whether her style was too modern or simply misplaced.
