Maria Sharapova goes Victoria Beckham route, takes Paris Fashion Week spotlight with rival Serena Williams

Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams could not be more different on and off the court, but both embody excellence in their own unique ways. Starting with tennis style, they are now showing up at Paris Fashion Week 2024 with different options. The Russian tennis star took a different route from his American counterpart in attending the event, making his presence felt in a unique way.

While the 23-time Grand Slam champion caused a stir with her appearance a few weeks ago, Sharapova was also spotted attending the same event, but alongside Victoria Beckham. Let’s take a look at how the pair garnered attention for their different choices at Paris Fashion Week.

Maria Sharapova appears at Paris Fashion Week

Many stars appeared at Paris Fashion Week to watch the 2024 autumn and winter fashion shows. One of them is former Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova, who is very passionate about fashion. She was seen attending the Victoria Beckham 2024 fashion show alongside other hotshots like Alessandra Ambrosio.

Photos from the five-time Grand Slam champion’s match were circulated on social media, and she showed off her style in a denim suit. While Williams and she have been attending such events for a long time, Sharapova took a different approach to fashion shows to mark her presence. Then, arguably, she took a different route to steal the show at Paris Fashion Week with rival Williams.

Williams, on the other hand, went all out to show off her fashion sense, and the 42-year-old American tennis legend definitely stood out in a black dress that left many popular faces behind. Let’s take a look at how Serena Williams shows off her stylish avatar.

Serena Williams turns heads with her stylish looks

The legendary American tennis player recently attended the 2024 Paris Fashion Week Balmain and Off-White shows. She wore a black dress with a white rose pattern on the front to the Balmain show. She chose a black dress at the Off-White conference, but it had cut-out patterns on the sleeves, which matched well with the black and white jacket.

Additionally, the 42-year-old American tennis legend dedicated his fashion picks with an emotional statement three years after the death of Virgil Abloh. She shared a glimpse of herself at the event on her Instagram account, writing; “Thank you for having me @off____white. #forevervirgil.”

This isn’t the first time she’s appeared at an off-white event, but this time there may have been a greater purpose, honoring her late friend in her own way. What do you think of Sharapova and Williams’ fashion choices, though? Let us know in the comments section below.
