The story behind the look

Turquoise panels cross the shoulders and sleeve ends of this white polo, then reappear at the sides of its matching skirt. The angular inserts give the loose shirt and moving pleats a coordinated graphic pattern.

Navratilova wore the outfit against Chris Evert in the 1984 Roland-Garros final. Victory gave her four consecutive major singles titles, a run that had begun at Wimbledon the previous year. The photographed backhand also shows the Puma mark on her skirt.
