Social media influencer Alix Earle has drawn criticism from fans for her fashion choice at Wimbledon this week. Earle, 25, shared a TikTok video detailing her outfit for the tennis tournament, which consisted of a cream-colored, vintage-inspired ensemble featuring a tight corset-style top, a matching jacket with double-breasted buttons, and a lace skirt with pointy lace heels.
Fans took to social media to express their disapproval, with many deeming the outfit unsuitable for the event. Comments included suggestions that the ensemble was "not Wimbledon at all," and comparisons to the Netflix series "Bridgerton," which is set in the Regency era, or a "mother of the bride" outfit. One user directly commented, "Alix, Wimbledon is not Bridgerton."
Earle, accompanied by her younger sister Ashtin, 23, described their plans to "watch some tennis, have a drink, have some strawberries and cream" in the video. Her appearance at Wimbledon follows her participation in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show in Miami on May 30.
Details about Earle's preparation for the Sports Illustrated event, as reported by the Daily Mail, indicated significant personal investment in her appearance. A friend of the influencer stated that Earle spent over $10,000, undergoing treatments such as dyeing her hair blonde, peptide rinses, taking Pilates classes, using sunless tanning creams, and receiving facials to achieve a dewy complexion.
During the Miami event, Earle showcased a mermaid blue-and-green monokini and a cherry red bikini. For the Wimbledon event, she opted for a vintage-inspired cream ensemble.
