The 2011 Spring Fashion Scoop

The Premier events in Indian Wells and Miami provided the perfect opportunity for the hottest women on tour to showcase their latest outfits. There were three major headlines that retained my attention.

Marion Bartoli

Maria Sharapova @ Indian Wells


Maria Sharapova @Miami
First of all, I was shocked to see Maria Sharapova, the ultimate Nike Diva, wearing the same apparel as Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli. The Russian always benefited from special treatment when it came to her on-court look, so this came as a surprise. Maria quickly turned things around though in her next outing in Miami where she wore a nice light blue garment, which contained an exquisite gold detailing in the top part.


Caroline Wozniacki
Secondly, Caroline Wozniacki, the one who ended Kirilenko's reign, showcased the latest Stella McCartney outfit. I saw it before in the new Turkish Airlines commercial, as the Dane was recently chosen to become the new face of their Business Class brand, but I never thought she would ever wear it on court. I really don't get the raffles that resemble the Hawaiian lei. To me, this lacks taste. Furthermore, the overall design seems utterly inappropriate for tennis, plus it just doesn't do her body justice. I am a genuine Adidas by Stella McCartney fan, but this looks likes a fashion faux pas to me.

Aravane Rezai
Thirdly, Aravane Rezai made a long-awaited return to the game. In her short time on court (i.e. she lost in her second round match), she proudly displayed her new outfit, which generated mixed reviews. The positive news is that, luckily, her hideous 'golden' era is now officially behind her. On the other hand, the negatives are that Rezai appears to have deeply fallen in love with this design as she replicates it time and time again. On this instance, she decided to change colours and thus, she replaced the golden lame with pink satin. Although this is strong proof that Aravane's style credentials are forever compromised, at least she's improving. To be honest, there's nothing that can match her grotesque golden dress, so brighter times are ahead of us as far as this player's evolution is concerned. Best of luck and smarter fashion choices!
