What Sharpova wears is watched as closely as how she plays. The beauty gears to unveil a sexy new outfit to liven up the Australian Open 2007.
The biggest draw in women's tennis, Russian beauty Maria Sharapova, has promised to reveal a sexy new outfit to liven up the Australian Open when it gets underway on Monday.
The 19-year-old world number two earned an estimated $22 million in endorsements last year, including the promotion of fashion products, and is a regular magazine covergirl, contracted to IMG Models since 2003
What she wears is watched as closely as how she plays.
Last year she set the Open on fire with her power blue baby doll nightie look, which became a must-have fashion accessory, and she said more was in store this week.
"Fashion-wise, I'm not doing baby doll any more. Baby doll has gone out the window," she said.
Asked what she had planned, she said: "It's a pretty classy dress. It's like a lemon chiffon colour.
"Bottom of the dress, it's like a little high waisted. I tend to pay a lot of attention to detail.
"There's a little corset detail in the back, there's a bow.
