The ruffle necklace
A chain of pleated fabric fans turned the neckline into the dress’s main feature.
The story behind the look
Caroline Wozniacki wore this blue adidas by Stella McCartney dress at the 2011 French Open. Its defining feature was a ring of closely pleated ruffles around the scoop neckline, repeated up the shoulder straps. The collaboration used fabric decoration where a conventional tennis dress might have relied on a contrasting trim.
The fitted torso and very short skirt keep the rest of the silhouette quiet. Contemporary photographs show each ruffle curling like a small fan, creating volume around the face as the player moves. A white version followed for Wimbledon; this entry records the blue Roland-Garros look.
