Fans React
While many fans loved the Balenciaga ambassador’s polished Wimbledon look, others couldn’t get past one detail: how warm it looked for a scorching summer day in London.
“How isn’t she melting in the heat in that suit? I don’t know how they can stand it,” one person commented on . Another wrote, “She looks uncomfortable in it.” A third added, “This weather is something else—I don’t know how they can even stand to get dressed like that if they don’t have to!”
Others pointed out that temperatures climbed above 30°C (86°F) during the tournament. “I know she’s an Aussie, but it was over 30° in London yesterday, and Centre Court is like a cauldron where it’s even hotter. Why would she wear so many layers? I’ll bet she looked bedraggled and sweaty on her way home after the match. If not, she truly is a goddess,” one fan joked.
Another commenter wrote, “No one can withstand that kind of heat wearing clothes that aren’t designed for it.” Someone else added, “Lots of celebs were dressed similarly. I was getting sweaty just looking at all of them.” Others praised the tailoring but still questioned the practicality, with one writing, “Perfection. Though it seems a little warm for the actual event,” while another simply said, “She must have been so uncomfortably hot.”
