🎾 Emma Raducanu got a bit of a telling-off from Wimbledon for her fashion choices! As we gear up for the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, Emma’s smashing it on the court, but she’s looking to avoid any more wardrobe woes.
It all kicked off last March when Emma turned up at Wimbledon wearing a pink outfit for a practice session, and let’s just say, some of the club members were not amused. Wimbledon is famous for its strict all-white dress code that dates back to the 1880s, and they weren’t thrilled with Emma’s colourful twist. Apparently, some saw it as a bit of a cheeky move, with one saying, “It’s so unfair.”
But it’s all good now! Emma quickly got the message and was later seen training in a classic all-white ensemble. 👏
Fun fact: Wimbledon’s dress code isn’t just about tradition; it originally aimed to hide sweat, which was considered unsightly in the Victorian era. While they’ve made some updates, like allowing a little coloured trim and dark undershorts for women, the white rule largely stands firm.
Emma’s not the only tennis star to have had a run-in with the dress code, though. Remember when Nick Kyrgios sported red Jordans in 2022 and faced a hefty fine? Even legends like Roger Federer have had to rethink their outfits before stepping on the court.
Despite the wardrobe fiasco, Emma’s form has been top-notch lately, eyeing a great run at SW19 this year. Whether she’s in pink or white, we’re rooting for you, Emma! 🌟
