The story behind the look

A sunshine-yellow sleeveless top sits above black athletic shorts, with three yellow stripes down the outer legs. The simple high neckline and strong colour contrast make the two-piece outfit immediately recognisable.

Kournikova said she helped design this Australian Open outfit and chose its yellow color, working closely with Adidas. The simple sleeveless top and black shorts accompanied her best singles run in Melbourne: a quarterfinal appearance in 2001.
