The fortnight of Indian Wells was the perfect opportunity for the hottest women on tour to showcase their latest outfits. There were three major headlines that retained my attention.
First of all, I was shocked to see Maria Sharapova, the ultimate Nike Diva, wearing the same clothing as Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli. The Russian always benefited from special treatment when it came to her on court looks. Moreover, her interest for fashion is no secret to anyone, as reportedly she's engaged in designing her dresses. As I don't think Marion's fashion status was upgraded, I am left wondering if Maria's uniqueness is threatened. Could this mark the end of her great collaboration with Nike, as it happened to Maria Kirilenko and her Stella McCarthy deal? As usual, time will tell.
Secondly, Caroline Wozniacki, the one who ended Kirilenko's Adidas reign, introduced to us her latest Stella McCarthy 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 wear it on court. I really don't get the Hawaiian lei as for me they lack taste.Furthermore, the overall designs seems utterly improper for tennis and I don't think it does her any favour. I am a genuine Adidas by Stella McCarthy fan, but this looks likes a fashion faux pas to me.
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 showcased her new outfit which generated mixed reviews. The positive news is that, luckily, her hideous 'golden' era is now 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!
