(Karwai Tang\/WireImage)<\/p>\n “This type of hat is inappropriate for such events! You should do your homework lady!” another critic commented.<\/p>\n “Just so you know, with that hat, guests that paid a lot of money to be right there, can\u2019t watch because you like to look good for Instagram,” one social media user added.<\/p>\n “Ridiculous hat,” another chimed in. “If I was sitting behind her words would be had.”<\/p>\n “Imagine being sat behind that hat. You couldn\u2019t see anything. Should be a rule against that,” one detractor wrote.<\/p>\n Lopez sat beside Tom Hiddleston in the Royal Box at the men’s singles finals on Sunday.

Maybe the Kentucky Derby because it’s a hat show. But tennis matches are conservative, crisp, & clean so the attire should match the sport. You have great hair. Work it.”<\/p>\n However, some fans defended “The Wedding Planner” star’s courtside look, with many noting that Lopez later removed the hat while enjoying the match with Hiddleston.<\/p>\n “She took the hat off. People leave this woman alone,” one fan wrote on social media.<\/p>\n While critics slammed the hat, others praised the star’s style and pointed out that Lopez later removed the hat.

(Karwai Tang\/WireImage)<\/p>\n While hats are not prohibited in Wimbledon’s invitation-only Royal Box, guests are generally expected to remove large or wide-brimmed hats while seated if they block others’ sightlines.<\/p>\n Per Wimbledon’s website, “Ladies are asked not to wear hats, as they tend to obscure the vision of those seated behind them.”<\/p>\n However, Wimbledon reportedly eased its usual hat etiquette amid soaring temperatures as the United Kingdom grapples with its third heatwave of the summer and even provided official fedoras to guests.<\/p>\n Kate Middleton was also spotted wearing a hat at Wimbledon over the weekend. (Karwai Tang\/WireImage)<\/p>\n Along with Lopez and Hiddleston, other celebrity guests seated in the Royal Box for the men’s final included Nicole Kidman<\/a>, Andrew Garfield, Cynthia Erivo, Anna Wintour and Ben Stiller. Royals in attendance included Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner of Italy, who is ranked No.1 in the world, defeated German player Alexander Zverev in four sets to capture his second straight Wimbledon title.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP<\/a><\/p>\n Middleton, 44, who serves as royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, presented trophies to both Sinner<\/a> and Linda Noskov\u00e1 of the Czech Republic, who won the women’s singles final on Saturday.<\/p>\n![\"Jennifer](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jlo-hat.jpg\")
