From Red Carpet to Your Closet: Venus Williams at the ESPY Awards

Posted Jul 22nd 2008 at 8:50AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look


Venus Williams has made a lot of fashion statements throughout her tennis career, and often, we're not the biggest fans. However, we couldn't be more in love with her look from this year's ESPY Awards -- game, set, match, she was the big winner in our book.

Not only was it event appropriate, but it was perfect for her body, which is really important for athletic girls. We know she has a rock hard body, but this dress showed it in a way that was feminine and sexy, and we hope to see more ensembles like this on her in the future. But, for now, we'll all have to be content with using this dress for inspiration -- to see how you can score this look, click through the gallery.

Wimbledon girls' singles winner Laura Robson ditches white for the Champion's Ball

She might have had to wear all-white for Wimbledon, but 14-year-old girls' singles winner Laura Robson went with a totally different look at the Champion's Ball, choosing a short black dress and fun pink shoes.

Lacoste is outfitting the Australian Open

Posted Jul 2nd 2008 at 6:22PM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Celebrities with Style

If you've ever thought that Lacoste seemed like a stuck-up country club brand that only appeals to tennis players -- that's because it was actually founded by legendary tennis champ René "the alligator" Lacoste. Don't worry, we didn't know that either. Here's another piece of trivia: Lacoste won 7 Grand Slams in the US, England and France, but he never made the trek to the Australian Open.

Now that we know the facts, it's all the more special that Lacoste has teamed up with the Australian Open to deck out all the ball-boys and girls with sharp-looking outfits. According to the article, Lacoste will be providing over 1000 uniforms for linesmen and officials in return for the ability to advertise to one of the most concentrated pockets of influential people on the planet (tennis fans). It's a win-win really. Maybe Lacoste could give Maria Sharapova a little help -- that tuxedo shirt didn't do her any favors.

Wimbledon is fashion central, at least for tennis

Posted Jun 27th 2008 at 9:17AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style



Maria promised to change up her Wimbledon outfit, and and she came through. Her "menswear-inspired" Nike outfit is a decidedly sexy, sheer top with a tudexo "dickie" embellishing the front. With the matching white jacket and white shorts, she could as easily be on her way to lunch as to a championship match.

Players frequently blend in at Wimbledon, where everyone is required to wear white from head to toe. A few, like Sharapova, manage to stand out despite this restriction.

Five-time champion Roger Federer, also sponsored by Nike, does it with a surprise look each year. Others, like Rafa Nadal and his manpris, have their own unique and consistent look that they bring to every match. Not to mention regular fashion notables Serena and Venus Williams, who are almost as well known for their fashion off the court as they are for winning on the court.

Check out the fashion high points of Wimbledon Week One in the gallery.

Maria Sharapova changes it up at Wimbledon

Posted Jun 24th 2008 at 1:11PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style


The Wimbledon grand slam tournament started on Monday, with top seeded trendsetter Maria Sharapova surprising everyone by wearing shorts this year.

The Nike -clad Sharapova going butch is a big surprise. Usually Maria is the girliest of girls on the court, with long blond hair, long earrings and short, flirty skirts. Last year her white Wimbledon dress was inspired by Swan Lake. One year she even wore diamond encrusted shoes.

Join us for a spin down memory lane as we check out Maria's past Wimbledon fashion choices in the gallery.

Anna Wintour is a cougar

Posted Apr 11th 2008 at 6:58AM by Kyle Hepp

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


Who's hotter -- Andy Roddick or Roger Federer? We're going to go with Roddick on this one because we've been secretly in love with him ever since he started dating Mandy Moore. But, Anna Wintour would beg to differ. The cougar in her has been set free and it looks like she's still trying to get her paws on Federer.

La Wintour had made plans to fly to Florida and watch the Sony Ericsson Open last week. But, then when Federer was knocked out of play earlier than expected, she mysteriously canceled her trip.

Wimbledon officials oddly preoccupied with ladies' underwear

Posted Jun 30th 2007 at 6:16PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie

In the grand tradition of all things British, officials at Wimbledon -- the world-famous tennis tournament at the height of sartorial pretension -- recently spent an inordinate amount of time fretting over the decency of a player's outfit.

But it's not like someone was trying to wear an offensive t-shirt, or advertise for their sponsor by plastering logos all over their tennis gear. In fact, you could say the problem is a case of a few stodgy old people getting their undies in a bunch.

Tatiana Golovin wanted to wear red underwear -- she felt it would make her "strong and confident." Normally people get to wear whatever undies they want and no one is the wiser -- but since it's tennis, and all that running around makes the players' miniskirts fairly pointless, their skivies are usually on public display.

Golovin knew that the Wimbledon dress code stipulates that players wear "predominately white" outfits, so she asked in advance if her deviant knickers would get her trouble. After much deliberation, judges finally ruled that because the garment stopped "above the hemline," that they are "underwear and not shorts," which means they can't be officially regulated by the tournament (presumably because it'd be inappropriate for stodgy old English people to even think about, let alone regulate a lady's nether-garments).

Phew. For a moment there, I thought hundreds of years of tradition was about to come crashing down. Good save, Wimbledon. Good save.

Maria Sharapova: tennis goddess/fashion icon

Posted Jun 29th 2007 at 4:25PM by Anne Metz

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Clothing, Celebrities with Style

For better or for worse, women's tennis these days is as much about a player's looks as it is about her backhand.

At the moment, my favorite "fashionable" tennis player is Maria Sharapova. The blond Russian, who also moonlights as a spokesperson for Canon, showed up to her match against Severine Bremond of France on Thursday wearing an incredible white dress by Nike. The tiered skirt with distinctive ruffled angel wings along the back made the high performance outfit seem as street-worthy as it was court-worthy.

While the feminist in me hates to reduce talented female athletes to their looks, the fashionista in me says Maria's dress was a definite tennis DO!

US Open brings a new fashion aspect to tennis

Posted Aug 31st 2006 at 1:48PM by Nic Lloyd

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing

The US Open of tennis has begun and has brought quite an array of style to the courts -- Capri pants, cutoff shirts, bedazzled shorts, and downright sexy skirts.

This NY Times article outlines just what exactly the celebs of the tennis world are wearing. And it seems like people actually care, as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer participated in a friendly match on East 54th Street in New York just to preview their outfits for the tournament.

Tennis isn't new to fashion statements -- Bjorn Borg and Jimmy Connors both made brave clothing decisions in the 70's. A few years ago, Serena Williams wore quite a provocative outfit, which was equipped with "bedazzling" on her rear-end. And Anna Kournikova opened up the sex-appeal aspect of tennis fashion.

According to the article, Americans spend about $534 million a year on specialty tennis clothes. That's certainly a lot of money to look good getting sweaty. But hey, what's wrong with lookin' good?
