In Stella We Trust

July 17th, 2010 • 1 comment caro the danish cutie, tennis players are fashionists too

It took Stella a while.

There were missteps, there were ‘oh gosh, you have seen who you’re designing to, right???’ moments, there was incredibility that Caro was still wearing the same dress — but, it seems like it has finally worked. Stella McCartney has designed a proper outfit for Caroline Wozniacki.

Caro’s US Open outfits were posted on WTA Tennis Blog. From what it looks like, she will have two different dresses: one for her day matches and one for the night sessions.

I’ll have to wait to see proper pictures of Caro wearing the dress but up until this point I’m loving it. I like how they are fancier than the regular Stella stuff she has been wearing and yet it doesn’t approach the Sharapova 2006 US Open sequin disaster. There are other clear signs of improvement, like the waist. This dress will be much fitting to Caro‘s body — it will accentuate her curves instead of making her look like a balloon in a skirt. We’re not all Maria Kirilenkos.

Basically: Stella, this is your chance to show the tennis world why you’re one of my favourite designers. Get on it.

Let’s play a guessing game

What. On. Earth. Is. That?

Cute though. Her mom, her gay and some “OH GOD MY EYES MY EYES” outfit.

Ay caramba.

I think of all times I’ve made of fun Rafa‘s outfits, this one is the most deserving. He participated in this fan event in Shanghai before his win over Blake (three sets, if you care). Went there, said a few words, made a few kids happy and wore a t-shirt that said “Nadal” in pink.

A t-shirt. With his name on it. In pink. (I actually like the plaid shorts.)

I’m not saying that I don’t like the tee, I do. I’d even buy it and proudly wear it as the Rafatard I am. But he wearing the shirt? It’s like the same level of monogram ridiculousness. Except it’s Rafa, so he was probably all “Free t-shirt! Cool! It even has my name on it! Me gusta mucho”. Bless that kid.

Can “Suck It” become WTA’s new slogan?

Serena spent the bigger part of the season snarking about the number one position. “She can have it”, “I have the Slams” and such.  Now, what happens when she finally claims the top of the rankings? She falls to Nadia 6-4 3-6 7-6(5).

Oh, WTA, is Karma really that complicated to comprehend?

P.S.

Dear Nadia,

Sweetie, your dress is too short, keep in mind tights are not pants.

Love,

Fierce Tennis.

Rafa‘s new green outfit has been criticized left and right by the tennis fans fangirls. So I thought I’d help the Spaniard regain the love from his oversexualized female fans. Here, Rafa, two options to fix your ensemble.

Number one option:

Add a bit of yellow and make the outfit a way to show your support for the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Number two option:

.

Strip.

But it’s okay, ladies, the V is for Victory jacket is looking goooood.

Glow in the dark stick

If we forget the actual tennis for a second, we can focus on the really important stuff: Sharapova‘s day dress.

First, according to TheDailyForehand twitter (I have no desire in fact checking that), the “last time Sharapova debuted a new daytime dress in the 3rd round after night matches in a different outfit, she lost to Radwanska“. Amusing.

Now, let’s talk about the outfit. It’s explained why Sharapova had shoes that didn’t match her silver night dress at all. They were for this lovely ensemble. The bright yellow detail on her white shoes matched… the stripes on her dress… that also matched… the contour of the visor… that also matched the… wait for it… TENNIS BALL. Why yes, I do love it, how can you tell? I just have a couple of questions about the outfit:

1. Does it glow in the dark?
2. Can I get a “tennis ball” yellow headband with that?

And it’s possible the “Headband Curse” that is going on has the opposite effect on Sharapova. Ever since Vika started wearing the HoS (Headband of Sex), her slump started. But when Sharapova plays without one, she loses. Coincidence? I think not. Discuss.

On the next FierceTennis post, I’ll teach you guys how to make your own Sharapova U.S. Open 2009 day outfit. All you’ll need is a Wimbledon dress, a pink and a yellow highlighter.

Stay tuned.

Hoodies = Badassery

From Hypebeast:

Seven of Nike’s most exciting athletes, including Maria Sharapova, Sofia Boutella, Alexandre Pato, Rafael Nadal, Manny Pacquiao, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James bring a fresh new look to fans in a photographic series created to showcase the “AW77” hoodie on October 1st. The photography, created in partnership with the creative team of David Sims and Karl Templer presents Nike Sportswear’s in it’s true essence: off-court and on athletes.

Pictures from the hot Spaniard during the photoshoot from Slamxhype.

And the outcome + silver headband girl being a thug/gansta/playa/tomboy.

Sharapova’s making of pics can be found here. I lol’d.

Continuing the discussion on the outfits of the USO that are worth mentioning, I’ll start with my favourite one: Sharapova‘s.

For those that don’t know me, I love to hate Sharapova. She’s my personal punching bag I use to mock: awkward running, lolzy net skills, doubtful fashion taste, doubtful sexual orientation. It’s all good hearted and, well, fun. So for her to win the “Best Outfit of the US Open Award”, it’s a great achievement. Gurl probably knows winning Wimbledon at 17 is nothing comparing to my fashion approval. Let’s see the outfit then, yeah?

First, the chavvy part in me thinks this would look even more badass if it was in black+gold. But as pointed out by loltennis, I’m sure Nike has rules where it states that only The Monogram can wear gold. I feel your pain, Masha. But still, the silver headband is GAWJUZ. It’s a nice improvement to see her wearing a tight dress — let’s not forget her last outfit was the spiderwoman‘s and it made her hips look huge. You know it’s a NIKE FASHION FAIL when you’ve made a 6’2″ skinny woman look fat. Part of me is interested to see how the day dress looks… the other part just wants her to lose in the next round so she doesn’t play Lena. Oh, mixed feelings, how I love thee.

From yesterday’s biggest upset, Ana Ivanovic‘s pretty purple dress:

As much as I was loudly cheering for the Baby Bondarenko, shame we won’t get to see the day version of the ensemble. It was pretty.

And the most expected fashion happening in tennis this year (for me), Caro Wozniacki in Stella McCartney.

One word: disappointment. It just looks like a less colourful, less detailed version of number two here with some extra ruffs. I think it’s time for Adidas to start considering some other designers for their high fashion collection. If you guys could pick, who would it be? I’d want Karl Lagerfeld.

Today’s Outfits: The Best Of

I’ll start with Fierce Tennis‘ official girlcrush, Vika.

Same Wimbledon outfit but in different colours.  The headband is still sexy and — if possible — even sexier in bright yellow but the top is still unflattering as hell. She should have stuck with the black long-sleeved shirt worn during warmup. THAT was looking good.

The conclusive proof headbands are soooo in.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands has one! (and lol @ the socks, I guess it could always be worse with Beth)

Fila tried to do this “old school” look for Kim Clijsters. I like the bag, the rest is… *yawn*.

Serena‘s dress is equally plain but SHOES! I love them.

And on Kiri‘s first tournament as a non-Stella girl… she still looks hot. Shocker.

Good looks: always helps when you don’t have a designer outfit.

One of my favourites: Kutuzova‘s green dress that was supposed to be worn by Sharapova at the Australian Open. Gawjuz.

Bepa Zvonareva kept it clean and simple. Very pretty as well.

I would have preferred if she wore this though. Maybe on her next match?

And to finish this, rumors say this is what Urszula Radwanska will wear on her match tomorrow:

I see.

I’d comment on Men’s fashion but everything is dull and the only thing worth mentioning is this ridiculous Adidas t-shirt worn by Mathieu. EPIC FAIL, three stripes.
