American Alpine skier Lindsey Vonn recently extended her warm wishes to the legendary tennis player, Roger Federer.

The Swiss sensation recently collaborated with the American eye-wear brand "Oliver Peoples" to launch a new line of eyewear, a contract that was inked in April 2023, specifying the launch of Federer's collection at the beginning of 2024 spring. The Los Angeles-based brand is currently owned by EssilorLuxottica, an Italian-French corporation.

The inaugural exhibition of the frames was held on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, at the launch event dinner held at the Tower Bar in Los Angeles, California. The new collection of luxury eyewear was crafted to wear on any occasion.

Another intricate detail involves the number "8" on the side frames, highlighting the Swiss maestro's eight Wimbledon victories in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2017.

Vonn attended the launch event dinner and shared a few glimpses from the night with the fans. She was spotted in a red classy suit with a light blue shirt and opted for a golden long necklace and a watch. She also paired the look with a few rings. She completed the look with an elegant black bag and heels.

Federer was seen donning a regal grey suit and black shirt and shoes. Vonn shared a few pictures of her with Federer and Russian Tennis player Maria Sharapova and wrote:

"Congratulations on your new 🕶️ launch Rog! @rogerfederer," wrote Vonn.

"It was a wonderful evening celebrating this new expansion of your brand with some great friends. Cheers," she added.
