SLIDESHOW – Eccentric, elegant, quirky, sometimes mocked but always iconic, certain players’ outfits have remained etched in the legend of Roland-Garros.
Unlike Wimbledon, which is attached to tradition, the Roland-Garros tournament does not impose a strict dress code on the courts. The organizers had however banged their fists on the table in 2018 after the controversy Serena Williams and her full suit, recalling that certain stylistic drifts no longer had their place in Paris.
“ I think we have sometimes gone too far. Serena’s jumpsuit this year, for example, will no longer be accepted. You have to respect the game and the place. Everyone wants to take advantage of this setting. If I convey an emotion with something that is beautiful in a place that is beautiful, the emotion is magnified“, reacted the former president of the French Tennis Federation Bernard Giudicelli.
But the freedom of choice in the fashion capital has allowed athletes to shine for decades with original and sometimes even very eccentric outfits. Back in pictures on the styles that have marked the history of the Parisian tournament.
