Between Tommy Hilfiger hosting Rafael Nadal in Bryant Park and **Grigor Dimitrov’**s Meatpacking District match on Monday, tennis fever has fully swept New York. Last night, Maria Sharapovatook to the streets of New York en route to promote her latest releases for Sugarpova at Bloomingdale’s, sporting the summer’s favorite sartorial staple: the little white dress.
Sharapova’s lace Chloé dress acts as an elevated version of the player’s typical tennis whites, replete with wide seventies collar and patch-pocketed pleated front, while the demure, fitted silhouette highlights her lithe, tournament-ready physique. Rather than pairing the seasonal staple with gladiator sandals or cool kicks, the world’s second-ranked player slipped into a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood nude stilettos with a sporting twist: distinctive neon accents at the heel for a subtle nod to tennis style. Game, set, and match.
