Aravane Rezaï · 2010

Gold rush on clay

Black panels and metallic gold turned the clay court into a very different kind of stage.

The story behind the look

Rezaï played her home Grand Slam in a black-and-gold outfit with metallic shoulder panels, fine red piping and a glossy short skirt edged in black lace. The contrast between the dark bodice and reflective skirt gave the compact competition silhouette the presence of eveningwear.

She arrived in Paris after a breakthrough title in Madrid, where she beat Justine Henin, Jelena Janković and Venus Williams. The archive records the dress worn at Roland-Garros; its designer has not been established by the sources used here. The rear view is inferred.
