Image credits: PHOTOS DU JOUR: SHARAPOVA & THE TROPHY and 'Now for Wimbledon': Maria Sharapova sets her sights on more glory as she poses in Paris.
In her 13-year pro career so far, Maria Sharapova has proven herself to be a determined, accomplished athlete on the tennis court. Only 27 years old, she has nailed down 32 WTA titles, including five Grand Slams: Wimbledon (2004), US Open (2006), Australian Open (2008), and French Open (2012, 2014). She has had to battle injury in recent years, but amazingly she rose to the challenge of coming back and grabbed 10 titles in three years.
A very tall (6-feet, 2-inches), very attractive and fit lady, she bombs, however, as a fashion plate in this recent post-French Open photo shoot. That dress is not stunning; it's terrible for her body. Yes, it shows off her amazing legs, but that short skirt literally makes her hips flare. I love how the black motif angles down her side, but while the top looks very athletic and sporty from the back, it's an awkward, unflattering cut in the front. The colors are wonderfully understated glamour, especially for a daytime event. But on the whole I give it a B-.
Sharapova is not exactly consistently fashionable in front of the paparazzi.

| Uhm, no |

| Oh, God, spare me |

| Yes, geometric and elegant |
There is of course no telling Sharapova what she ought to wear. She is a successful, confident and wealthy lady, who can do a lot of whatever she wants. I imagine, though I may be wrong, some of her fashion decisions have to do with endorsement deals. Perhaps other decisions are based off her own quirky sense, which I imagine, too, few in her inner circle are willing to question or criticize.
Thank you for reading, and let me know what you think!
