For her return to the Grand Slam, Maria Sharapova won in the first round of the US Open, defeating world number two Simona Halep (6-4, 4-6, 6-3). A performance that did not go unnoticed, just like the outfit she wore during the meeting. Its equipment supplier Nike designed a special outfit for the event. Lace, leather… and crystals were there.
Simply elegance. For her big comeback in the Grand Slam, at the US Open, Maria Sharapova did not take half measures. On the Arthur Ashe Stadium court, the Russian dominated Simona Halep, 2nd in the WTA rankings.
Lace, leather… and crystals!
Maria Sharapova therefore won over the American public with her level of play, but also with her outfit. Its equipment supplier Nike and designer Riccardo Tisci, former artistic director of Givenchy, imagined a unique outfit: completely black (in reference to his victory in 2006), with lace and leather details at the collar. Swarovski crystals have also been designed at the skirt level. “I discussed what I wanted with Riccardo, according to my inspiration. It was an incredible experience,” the Russian player told Tennis Actu.
