Steffi Graf · 1999

One last Paris gold

Navy, gold and three stripes for a final Grand Slam triumph.

The story behind the look

Gold shoulder and sleeve panels frame a navy V-neck top, with three dark stripes at the sleeves and white inserts curving down the sides. The matching navy skirt keeps the focus on the shirt’s bold, almost football-jersey geometry.

Graf wore the outfit in the 1999 Roland-Garros final against Martina Hingis. Coming back from a set down, she won her sixth Paris title and her twenty-second major singles title. It would be her last Grand Slam victory before retirement later that year.
