Shrieka arrives in Paris, teases with top-secret Nike dress

Thanks to DtL reader Kim for tipping me off to Maria Sharapova's latest Weekly Doodle!

The Russian glamazon arrived in the City of Lights from Warsaw where she made the quarterfinals. Shrieka discusses her time in the Polish capital and also teases us about her top-secret Roland Garros dress from Nike:

We arrived to Paris last night, and it still amazes me how beautiful it is here every single time I arrive.

I am really happy with the way things went last week in Warsaw. Obviously I would like to win every single tournament I play, but to be able to finally compete in a tournament after so many months was just amazing.

The food was fantastic and who would have thought Warsaw is the new Beverly Hills in the paparazzi department!

Anyways I just wanted to send you a quick a hello....

I cannot wait to wear my new dress on court here...it is one of my all time faves! And of course the Tiffany earings...so beautiful! Only hint I can give, is that the color theme is different shades of blue.

I took a day off today, but currently doing my shoulder exercises! Shouldn't really be typing this right now haha.

Take Care!!

Color me SO curious.

FASHION FIX: Incredible, edible Rafa now comes in sorbet

Rafael Nadal will be working the pink option of the Nike Summer Bold Open Polo that I previewed and the grey + pink Air Max Courtballistec 1.3 as he goes for a record fifth consecutive Roland Garros crown.

And the Mallorcan Matador loves this pink moment so much he opted for a pink backdrop on his website:


Wow - first we get a giant, chocolate Rafa and now we get RafaSorbet. Yums.

*licks chops*

FASHION FIX: ANTA reveals Roland Garros dress for JJ + Lefty

Here's the ANTA dress Jelena Jankovic + Lefty will be wearing as they go for their first major at Roland Garros.

It's hard to see the detailing here but the blue color is really striking and should pop nicely against the backdrop of red clay.

But, why do JJ + Lefty look like they're becoming more Chinese here? Do you think that was part of the sponsorship agreement??

SIGHTING: RoKa attend Lenny Kravitz concert in Madrid, Mirka mammies (almost) overrunneth

Roger Federer, who grabbed some much needed confidence and momentum after upsetting Rafael Nadal for the Madrid title yesterday, wife Mirka, and unborn Mango were spotted in the Spanish capital attending a Lenny Kravitz concert during their free time.


Some observations if I may:

1. Fed needs to get new jeans. Stat.

2. Ditto on the sneakers. Double stat.

3. Mirka's mammies already look primed for a Mango feeding. Dayum.

4. Does Fed always have to wear that RF hat? They know who you are. At least he's hoping they do but is prepared if they don't I guess.

5. Crackberry is conspicuously inconspicuous.

4. I'm wondering (more like completely having inappropriate fantasies) if Lenny showed up in THIS outfit for the show. (nsfw)
