Anna Kournikova · 2002

White, cut on a curve

An uneven hem makes Wimbledon white sculptural.

The story behind the look

Curved panels cross the fitted white top and continue into a low rounded front hem, leaving the midriff visible at the sides. A short skirt repeats the uneven line below. Compare the archive’s Carlsbad look from the same summer for a colour-panelled variation on this construction.

Kournikova’s 2002 Wimbledon outfit used curved seams and an uneven hem to make its white palette distinctive. A long curved front on the fitted Adidas top exposed the midriff at the sides, above a matching short skirt. She reached the women’s doubles semifinals with Chanda Rubin.
