The story behind the look

Pale pink and white stripes encircle the lower navy top and run down the sides of its matching skirt. The relaxed sleeves and compact skirt make a sharply coordinated set. The source shows a side and rear angle; the reconstructed front neckline is approximate.

Kournikova made her senior Grand Slam debut at the 1996 US Open. The 15-year-old came through qualifying and reached the fourth round, where defending champion Steffi Graf ended her run.
