Fierce Fashin

September 2nd, 2009 • 2 comments bondarenkos, caro the danish cutie, demented, maria shutupova, roger failderer, squeaky shoes ivanovic, tennis players are fashionists too

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

August 31st, 2009 • 4 comments Kimilf Clijsters, bepa z., beth mattek the official wta fashionist, kiri is 2 hot 4 u, maria shutupova, tennis players are fashionists too, the radwanskas, vika azarenka, viktoriya kutuzova, williamses

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.

Lacoste fashion post

August 11th, 2009 • 2 comments ace ace andy, pretty boy chardy, tennis players are fashionists too

First, let’s discuss the tennis outfits.

My favourite one of the three is pretty French boy Chardy‘s. Not only because he is pretty and I love yellow but because I think just a tiny bit colour on a black-and-white design always looks good. And the black collar? V. sexy and elegant. Andy‘s shirts are not so bad either. I love the black one — looks very good with the green and white details. But the white shirt reminds me too much of this polo Chardy wore a few years ago in Roland Garros. So I’m sort of “meh” about that one. Couldn’t Lacoste have it done in a different colour? A very soft yellow maybe? It would look cool. Better than boring white.

Now, onto the very original stuff. Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana have designed a line for Lacoste called “CAMPANAS+LACOSTE”. They’ve come up with both amazing and scary stuff. Odd combination, I know.

I love the first one. I love when Lacoste changes their logo. Like when they did that special anniversay edition where the alligator was silver. So pretty. But the second one? I could never ever wear that. I would constantly feel like I’d have bugs or mini-alligators crawling on me. Do not want.

You can see the rest of the collection here.

More of the Adidas US Open collection…

August 11th, 2009 • 2 comments nole jokevic, tennis players are fashionists too

… in my dreams.

Novak, who as usual, decided to have some fun and, uh, strip in the players’ party in Montréal. From the ATP’s website:

However it was World No.3 Novak Djokovic who stole the show, as he strutted down the catwalk in an oriental-style jacket. The Serbian provocatively teased the crowd as he made his way around the stage, before dropping the jacket to pose in just his underwear, much to the enjoyment of the audience.

Oh, Nole. And of course there’s a video to make things better, to the sound of Destination Calabria:

Ladies, you now have someone to call when you need a little “help” at a bachelorette party.

You know, last time he wore boxers, now briefs… anyone can see a pattern here? Well, I’ll end this with almost-naked Nole touching almost-naked dude:

Three-stripes, US Open ’09

August 11th, 2009 • 3 comments ali tsonga, bb safina, nando "slut" verdasco, nole jokevic, tennis players are fashionists too

And the pictures of the Adidas US Open season collection have surfaced. The shock: I like them.

They’ve decided to stuck with the “locker room” look again. Relaxed (expect porn actor!Nando) players surrounded by sweaty towels and tennis balls — just the way the tennis gods intended. And even Dina looks quite lovely, doesn’t she? Delicate and strong at the same time.

Now, the outfits. Adidas wins a gold star for using pastel colours for this time of the season. Just as I love citric colours for the clay, I love pastel for the hardcourts. I think it gives a nice contrast with the bright blue/green. I’m hoping, this time, Dina’s shirt fits her. I love her but I don’t need to see her belly ever five seconds, thankyouverymuch.

The Danish Cutie update

August 6th, 2009 • 6 comments caro the danish cutie, maria shutupova, sorana banana, tennis players are fashionists too, the radwanskas, vika azarenka

As Vika and Sharapova battle out on LA, I post here. Why? Because there’s no frakkin’ stream. WOES doesn’t quite cover it. So, instead, I’m going to do a ¡CARO UPDATE! post. I don’t know if it’s because I’m truly biased and love the kid to death or because she really brings the lolz.

The following are pictures of Caro on the evening of her 19th birthday. After losing the Båstad final, she went to Copenhagen to celebrate, truly in style, at a Britney Spears concert.

According to the source, not only was there, but also the Radwanskas (link to pic of Happy!Caro hugging Happy!Aga). Rest of the pictures are here.

Can I just comment on Caro’s purse for a a second here? That’s either fake or the ugliest piece of clothing Karl Lagerfeld has ever designed. Seriously, what is that? It always baffles me how people with much money can dress so poorly. I will present someone with a cookie if they can find the collection that monstrosity belongs to. And if Caro wanted some over the top Chanel bag, this is what she should have bought. SILLY GIRL. Where’s Vika to teach you these things?

But you know, whatever whatever. At least bitch is wurkin’ her purple nail polish. Onto the rest of the “LOL Caro, what ya doin’?”:

Caro practicing in LA. Clothes are so obviously overrated. And last, but not least, Caro meets David Beckham.

P.S. Vika, YOU IDIOT. I don’t need to watch the match to know you played like a moron. The number of Sharapova’s double faults already tells me that.

Headbands of WIN

August 4th, 2009 • 4 comments maria shutupova, tennis players are fashionists too, vika azarenka

I’m sort of excited for this. To be honest, I don’t expect much from Sharapova. I think the only chance she has in this is if Vika is rusty — this is her first match since Wimbledon. So an exciting match isn’t exactly the reason I’m looking forward to it.

Everyone has been comparing Vika to Sharapova left and right since her breakthrough at the Australian hardcourt season this year. Not only comparing the grunt but even the playing style, good looks, the lasso forehand, personality, attitude and all. Frankly, I think this isn’t even because I am not a Sharapova fan, but it bothers me. Ok, both shriek and both have forehands that hurt my eyes. But personality wise? Even though Vika is normally (sort of) a bitch on court, she has proven to be a sweetheart in interviews and very much liked by the other players. I think Vika will go on court desiring to not only win but also kick Maria’s ass — in the most sportive way, I’m sure. I don’t know about you guys, but I really want to watch that. Kill mode!Vika? Yes, pls. And we all know that if Sharapova’s going down… she’s going to go down fighting. So cheers to that.

The other reason (most important one) I’m excited for this is that Vika might wear a headband. I hope she does, I have a theory she even showers with that thing. So if she does indeed wear it, we’ll have a BATTLE OF HEADBANDS. This leads to, omg, poll time.
[polldaddy poll=1842136]

I don’t know about you guys, but I laughed at the ridiculous Butterfly poll theme.

P.S. Tomorrow’s OOP is out. It’s the first match of the night session. TV coverage starts on Friday. Explain to me again who are these idiots that run big tournaments without streams? Do they not understand tennis fans would love to watch Azarenka-Sharapova and Wozniacki-Cirstea? Idiots, bloody idiots.

Spider woman, spider woman… does whatever a spider can

July 28th, 2009 • 2 comments maria shutupova, tennis players are fashionists too, wags

Cue to No Doubt’s Spiderwebs.

And, since I don’t know if you guys follow tween gossip but, Camilla Belle (aka everyone’s favourite Tennis WAG) and her beard beau broke up. We asked Sharapova to comment on that and this is what she had to say:

Yeah, ok, Masha.

Random stuff — as usual

July 24th, 2009 • 2 comments caro the danish cutie, chaky, kiri is 2 hot 4 u, maria shutupova, tennis players are fashionists too, what do you mean baby animals aren't relevant to tennis?

First, I apologize for not posting much these days (and I don’t even have a decent excuse), so, here, have some puppy with tennis ball to make it all better:

Adorable, right? Ok. Now that you’re back to liking me, I bring you THE NEWS (aka stuff that I care about):

• New pictures of Caro‘s photoshoot of the Stella McCartney line released. I want that skirt and her stomach.
• Stanford draw is out. First round matches: Domi-Stosur, Hantuchova-Wozniak, Kiri-Chaky and Sorana-Aga (“!!!!!!!!!!!!” to the last two).
• Pictures of Sharapova on the WTT from thedoublebagel. She was wearing a headband and proving my fashion predictions are obvs always right.

Yeah. I think that’s it.

I bring fashion news!

July 20th, 2009 • 7 comments caro the danish cutie, tennis players are fashionists too

Look at this, we have NEWS. We have PICTURES. We have NEW OUTFITS. All we need now is a decent-sized tourney and we’re all good.

A few more pictures of the Adidas by Stella McCartney F/W ’10 collection have surfaced and I’m here to bring you teh pretty.

Lookit, pretty.

The skirt is high up and short. Two things I appreciate. And I wonder if the polo-sticked-inside look will be kept by Caro. Hopefully it will.

The US Open dress will apparently be this one:

Again I say this, not much different than the rest of the Stella stuff we’ve seen so far, but I like it. Unfortunately, I have a feeling this will make Caro look fat — oh boy. I liked the first outfit more.
