SUMMARY
- Roger Federer was dressed up like a true fashion icon during the 2024 Academy Awards.
- Roger Federer showed off his Rolex and Oliver Peoples collection in Los Angeles.
The 96th Academy Awards saw the stars from Hollywood light up the podium. Celebrities across all fields attended the award function. While Oppenheimer stole the show on stage, some celebrities did the same off-stage. One of the sporting icons who led the fashion party off stage in Los Angeles was Roger Federer and his wife, Mirka Federer.
Federer was dressed even better than his friends from Hollywood. The former world No.1 was wearing an all-white tuxedo and black pants by Prada. However, the style that was the center of attention was his watch and sunglasses. Federer wore the Rolex Daytona 100th Anniversary of Le Mans edition. He also wore black Oliver Peoples Wayfarer sunglasses.
Federer has been the global ambassador for Rolex since 2006. Since then, he has worn numerous collections of Rolex matches on the court and continues to do so. He announced a partnership agreement with Oliver Peoples last year. Oliver Peoples launched the Roger Federer collection a few days ago as his legacy continues to be cemented in his sponsors.
The 42-year-old has been spending time with his family and traveling to places with them since retirement. He was asked about his plan for the Oscars night, Federer said, “I was invited, and usually I had many things to do around that date, so I told myself, why not spend the night at the Oscars with my wife and see the stars?.” In the past, Federer would have been busy during this time at Indian Wells, but now things have changed.
Roger Federer reveals his favorites at 2024 Indian Wells
Federer had made his Indian Wells debut in 2001 and made his final appearance in 2019. He failed to play in the 2016 edition but has played in every other season after making his debut. The former world No.1 has picked three of his favorites to win the title this season. Federer was at San Franciso to talk about the Laver Cup and mentioned his predictions for Indian Wells.
Federer first picked Novak Djokovic to win the title. Djokovic is aiming to be the first player to win six titles at Indian Wells. Federer then went on to choose Jannik Sinner as a possible winner, as he has been undefeated so far this season. Sinner is currently on a 15-match winning streak and looks to extend his form at Indian Wells. Federer’s third choice was Carlos Alcaraz, who is the defending champion.

Alcaraz has yet to reach a final this season and hopes to win at Indian Wells. He has not won a title in the past eight months. Meanwhile, Djokovic too has won a title since November last season. Only Sinner has been leading the charge amongst Federer’s choices for Indian Wells. The championship match at Indian Wells will be held on 18th March.
