Eddie Redmayne Officially Becomes the Man of the Year at Wimbledon 2021

The two-week long cavalcade of high society and the incredible backhand hitting The Championships – better known as Wimbledon – is finally over.

The oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon is one of the most exciting sporting events of the year and unlike any other. It is full of ancient traditions and glamour, and regularly attracts who’s from international celebrities and jet sets.

Perhaps the most famous Wimbledon tradition is the strict all-white dress code for competitors and royalty in attendance. Beyond that, there is a general expectation that you dress up for Wimbledon. These days, it’s a much more casual affair – but the rich still love to carry their A-game fashion.

Our vote for the best-dressed men at Wimbledon 2021? British Actor and Officer of the Order of the British Empire Mr Eddie Redmayne. The dapper man might not be royalty, but he definitely dressed the part, showing up to Wednesday’s tournament in beige wool. Ralph Lauren a suit, brown loafers, and a blue OMEGA Globemaster perched on his wrist.

It’s a bold and summery look that stands out even among the many stylish men and women in attendance… And makes for some style slackers, like Live Saturday Night comedian Pete Davidson, looks a bit rough in comparison.

Some of the other men who looked really good at the tournament included Tom Cruise, who looked dashing in a three-piece suit during the women’s singles final; Benedict Cumberbatch, who wore a large Panama hat and blue linen number on Wednesday; and Daniel Ricciardo, who were all smiling (predictably) in navy Prince of Wales suits.

Wimbledon 2021 is an excellent tournament for Australian tennis fans, with Ash Barty winning against Karolína Plíšková in the truly magnificent women’s singles final and Dylan Allcot beating Sam Schröder in straight sets to take home the wheelchair four singles. In the men’s singles, Novak Djokovic beat Matteo Berrettini in a tight four-set game.
