Maria Sharapova, the former World No.1, has been a fashion icon both on and off-court. Her iconic outfits revolutionized women's tennis style, inspiring future generations of players and fans alike.
She recently participated as a panelist in the 'Future of Business through Women's Sports Leadership' discussion at the prestigious CNBC's World Economic Forum 2025, held in Davos, Switzerland.
The tennis icon showcased her stylish 'fits' on Instagram, sharing a series of images of her 'business chic' attires worn during her panel appearances.
Sharapova has been an entrepreneur and has engaged in multiple collaborations and business ventures. While talking about her collaboration with Nike and her first investment in Supergoop at the event, she said:
"Sport is very much like a business- right? the resilience aspect, the ownership, the teamwork. And that's how I look at business now."
The star has made investments in multiple successful brands and has also been a part of the famous business show 'Shark Tank' in 2020, as a guest judge.
Maria Sharapova's iconic look recreated at the Australian Open 2025
During the ongoing Australian Open, Australian player Destanee Aiava drew attention by wearing outfits that were reminiscent of those previously worn by Maria Sharapova on the court.
Aiava, 24, made a lot of heads turn when she sported a dress strikingly similar to Sharapova's iconic Nike pink dress during one of her qualifier matches. Later, in her second-round match, she appeared in a yellow dress reminiscent of the one Sharapova wore during her 2011 French Open campaign.
Destanee Aiava expressed her dissatisfaction with the current state of tennis fashion, describing it as 'ugly.' Inspired by past generations of players, she decided to curate her own wardrobe for the Australian Open 2025. Without a clothing sponsor, Aiava opted to shop online for outfits similar to those worn by her favorite players.
