If there’s one thing Anna Wintour loves almost as much as fashion, it’s probably tennis. Vogue’s chief editor is a major tennis fan, even crushing on hot tennis player Roger Federer.

Anna Wintour’s fascination with Roger Federer is a topic often understated by the media. Her enthusiasm became evident when she first introduced Federer and his then-girlfriend (now wife) to the fashion scene, openly favoring him during their outings.

Despite being labeled a “cougar” by American tabloids, Wintour has made no secret of her attachment, frequently bringing Federer to high-profile events. This relationship has even permeated Vogue’s editorial content, with Federer often appearing in interviews among fashion articles.

The fashion diva attended Moët & Chandon’s 270th Anniversary to support a good friend (and boy toy), Federer, who was named the brand’s new global ambassador.

The 2009 documentary The September Issue highlighted Wintour’s adoration, showcasing her elation at Federer’s successes, which she follows passionately, even prioritizing his matches over significant fashion events.

Anna was clad in a floral number by Lanvin, which boasts a gorgeous silk fabric with a rose and leaf pattern. This is an exquisite take on the girly floral dress, and we love it — from the black and red color mix to the flirty silhouette. The only problem is that it will set you back a good $7,695!
