The story behind the look

Sharapova’s 2012 Roland-Garros dress paired black with muted army-green accents. Narrow straps, a structured bust panel and a simple skirt kept the silhouette close to the body.

Contemporary coverage singled out the restrained palette and slim cut. The reference supports those details rather than the fuller pleats described in some later summaries.
