Thanks to DtL reader Maja for sending over images of Maria Sharapova's US Open Nike dresses I saw at the Nike event earlier today.
As I mentioned, the day dress comes in a dusty-rose colorway with fluorescent green shoulder straps and piping. She'll be wearing this bomber style warm-up jacket as she enters the stadiums for her matches.
This razor back tank dress is the choice for her night matches and comes in navy blue, almost midnight, with silver color blocks and piping. It's a bit more dramatic in it's design but should sparkle under the New York lights.
Shrieka will be working this warm-up jacket which features an over-sized hoodie for those cold evenings. Right. Also, in person, you can see the fabricaton of this jacket was heavy on the sparkle.
Okay so between the two dresses I'd have to pick the night dress as my fave. I don't think the dusty-pink color will compliment her skin tone and could wash her out a bit. The night dress is a good contrast in its deep tones and looks like it could really shine.
In any case, it seems the zig-zagging yet flowy theme found in her Frank Gehry earrings carried over to her dresses too.

I love the night dress!! I hope we'll get the chance her often in that dress!!
ReplyDeleteThe night dress is quite fetching. But omigod that image of that headless hoodie creeps me the hell out. It's like Death but fashionable. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI like the night dress, but I'm not so sure about the day dress. I don't like the combination of colors and I agree that it could wash her out. We'll see how it looks on her. To me, Shrieka's fashion style is always hit or miss.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the colours of the day dress. The night dress seems nice.
ReplyDeleteI love both! Thanks for the update!
ReplyDeleteI loved the pink and green one. And the evening dress was great, too. Too bad we won't get to see more of them since she's out.
ReplyDeleteAgree with another poster that the "headless" hoodie photo is a bit scary!
