Maria Sharapova · 2017

Lace under the lights

Technical lace, scattered crystals and a little black dress made for New York nights.

The story behind the look

Sharapova and Riccardo Tisci revisited the elegance of her 2006 US Open wardrobe in a black Nike dress with technical lace, leather details and Swarovski crystals. The sculpted sleeveless silhouette combined sheer insets with an eyelet-detailed skirt.

She wore it for night matches during her 2017 return to the tournament, beginning with a three-set win over Simona Halep. The reconstruction shows the competition dress alone; the reference photograph captures the same look during her third-round match against Sofia Kenin.
