Martina Navratilova · 2006

Orange at the farewell

Orange-red shorts and a fitted tank in her final professional tournament.

The story behind the look

Orange-red shoulder panels and neckline binding trace an ivory sleeveless top, with fine curved piping at its sides. Bright shorts carry the colour through the lower half of the outfit.

The reference photograph shows Navratilova in the women’s doubles quarterfinal with Nadia Petrova at the 2006 US Open. It was her final professional tournament; later that week she ended her career with the mixed doubles title alongside Bob Bryan. The photographed look is not assigned to that mixed final.
