Aryna Sabalenka made a bold fashion statement at the US Open in a naked dress and over 83 carats of statement diamond jewelry.
According to Fox News, Sabalenka was on the court with her mixed doubles partner Novak Djokovic taking on Kateřina Siniaková and Henry Patten.
She and Djokovic ended up losing the match. While dealing with the top-ranked in mixed doubles, the self-appointed fashion experts went on the attack. Who knew a little mesh would cause such a reaction?
"How about that - Sabalenka leading the parade of streetwalker chic at the US Open with fishnet over shorts and a sports bra," one of the critics wrote. "Why does New York bring out all the trashy-ness?"
"Sabalenka ’s maximalist jewellery with those multicoloured stones set in gold clashes badly with her US open kit. Looks a mess imo," said another.
One called it a "clown kit" and wrote in disbelief, "this sabalenka clown kit can’t be actually real."
These attacks on her fashion didn’t catch Aryna Sabalenka by surprise. She knew they were coming. She was prepared for it after rolling out the new Nike looks a few weeks ago.
"I love my outfit. If someone doesn't like it, it's okay. You cannot impress everyone with your outfits," she said earlier this month. "That's why I like fashion because there is room for whatever, basically."
She collaborated with the jewelry brand Material Good, which has bejeweled her for every Grand Slam moment since she competed during last year’s US Open, to create a collection that was inspired by the Big Apple’s reputation as a melting pot of different cultures.
