Fancy Pants

Women's tennis star Maria Sharapova will be rocking a unique look at this year's Wimbeldon in London town.

She's ditching her famous figure hugging tennis dresses for 'tuxedo' ensembles of shorts and sleeveless tops.

The new look will reflect London's 'history in bespoke tailoring'. Maria's shorts will feature gold stitching and a subtle pin stripe.

Bucking tradition in style.

We like!

"I've never worn shorts at a Grand Slam," says Maria. "I'm going to be debuting that. Call it menswear, obviously. It's kind of like a tuxedo look, very simple lines, classic."

Do U like Sharapova's new look?

That's kinda cheesyyyy… part of the appeal of tennis and watching the games are the outfits… I played tennis for a few years and that was one of my favorite parts… dressing up.

maria sharapova is classy, unlike whats her name ana
court says – reply to this

13

whatev! she is not doing anything new-she just looks stupid. roger federer already came out with an actual men's tuxedo look at last year's u.s. open, in all black with a white collar. maria's just ripping that off and making it in white and more retarded looking.
it would be HILARIOUS to see some maria camel-toe though! hahah. she'll have to pick her wedges just like Nadal does!!

another point, roger federer also has a white blazer he's been wearing at wimbledon for 4 years! she's totally just stealing his idea.

Sharapova is one uptight woman… Thank God tennis got a new superstar, and her name is Ana Ivanovic!!!!!!

kms says – reply to this

48

hideous.
Style says – reply to this

49

No …I don't like it by the pic of the outfit….doesn't look classic at all…kinda reminds me of little kids pajamas.
PinkY says – reply to this

50

The shirt is super sytlin but the bottoms look like those rayon shorts that Football Coaches from the 70's wear.
Larry says – reply to this

51

This outfit looks like ass, plus maria ain't all that hot. Check out Ana Ivanovic, number 1 seed and a total hottie.
Lala says – reply to this

52

I despises her as a player, mean little bitch, but the ensemble is interesting. A nice off-set to the trashiness that the Williams sisters often come up with, although Venus has been doing better these past tournaments.
Thari says – reply to this

53

I saw her playing today and her top was like seethrough or something like that..
Linds says – reply to this

54

Cheeeezy!! She sucks. Ana Ivanovic is much better and far more stylish.
gimle says – reply to this

55

looks like a 70's polyester leisure suit…..
ashle says – reply to this

56

her thighs look meaty, muscular
still, she's pretty! and i like whole
the gender-bender/Androgyny
Tenni says – reply to this

57

About a year to late.. Venus wore shorts last year and also WON Wimbledon.
The D says – reply to this

58

Yeah, I dig. It's way more attractive to try and be innovative than to try and be sexy. Actually, it's sexy to be innovative.

I don't think she's that attractive though. I mean she's cute but she's no great beauty. Natalie, Sienna and Keira have miles on her.
Pat says – reply to this

59

She should worry about actually WINNING at tennis and less about the outfit.
Romme says – reply to this

60

LOVE IT!
Johnn says – reply to this

61

No.
nCYbY says – reply to this

62

I can't stand the pickled looking bitch! She thinks she's all that and lots of female tennis players are better looking, especially Hanchukova. If I were a dyke I'd hit it. Anyhoo, GO VENU$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
venus says – reply to this

63

I think her "you know what" belongs to Daddy if you know what I'm sayin.'
cass says – reply to this

64

eh…whatever…its okay
Jessi says – reply to this

65

Wow…I love it! It's really sharp. I'd wear that NOT playing tennis…
Way classier than the fugly things that they usually wear in tennis.
x says – reply to this

66

i like it, it's interesting but what's with the look on her face in the first pic?! that's just.. no just no..
NcYBy says – reply to this

67

Re: venus – OMG! Is it really you??? Haaaaaaaaay, girl!
PETA says – reply to this

68

It looks ugly. Even for her, she can hardly pull it off. If you are not 6 foot tall slim girl, don't even think about it. You will look like shit.
xtina says – reply to this

69

i think these outfits look stupid
tux says – reply to this

Yes! I love all the pin-tucking, gathering, folds and ruching that is getting popular in the last year.

NO. It's boring as hell…
JJ says – reply to this

79

Ugh, Sharapova is so overrated in the looks department.
In the top ten alone, Ana Ivanovic, Elena Dementieva and Daniela Hantuchova are more attractive.

Re: paul – westwood doesn't go out of her way to comment on all the shitty clothing other people make/model/wear. SATC dragged her name into their lame, mediocre movie, and she felt the need to set people straight, rather than
seem to endorse their tired film.
denis says – reply to this

81

shea gonna sweat her ass off in that thing
BryGu says – reply to this

82

Go back to USSR
ldftr says – reply to this

The designer should've put more of a camel toe or vag pattern on the front.
mav says – reply to this

She is a gorgeous blond, but that outfit does not do her justice. Next!
shebo says – reply to this

What is with the over photoshoped bottom photo - it looks like her head has been put on someone elses body - creepy
LadyXanax says – reply to this

weird.
Bob says – reply to this

90

Sharapova would look hot even in a H. Clinton pantsuit
Cass says – reply to this

91

i think its great that maria and nike is coming out with a more pratical outfit for women tennis players. Id much rather play in shorts and a top than to wear the normal skirt. maria is obviously bring a new game to womens tennis and why shouldnt her clothes reflect that. Nadal is doing the same for men so kudos to nike and sharapova.
miche says – reply to this

92

Nah, I don't think it'll catch on
racha says – reply to this

93

Yeah um, that outfit is NOT pretty or stylish, it just looks plain bad. Good luck Sharapova with losing to Venus.
Anita says – reply to this

94

the suit & the jacket look nice though the shorts are hideous! no one looks sexier in shorts playing tennis than dani. lol. but i like the tuxedo look, it looks alright on her.
Bill says – reply to this

I'd spew a full load over her hot ass…and by the way Obama Ovomit fucks goats on his ranch !!!
erika says – reply to this

97

What can I say…best birthday present ever! Except perhaps seeing Ana Ivanovic wearing the same in black and playing Maria at the Grand Slam. AWESOME! (thanks Pete)
D says – reply to this

98

What is she gonna "serve" drinks and park cars before the match?! Its a Sport not a fashion show!
Rach says – reply to this

Angelina Jolie Announces That Her Next Movie Will Be...

Maleficent!

At least, we think it is! Almost positive, actually!

Angelina Jolie was at the Berlin International Film Festival today, where she is screening her directorial debut, In The Land Of Blood and Honey out of competition, when she announced that the long-rumored project was next up for her - even though she didn't specifically call it by name!

She explains:

"I haven't acted in two years, and I haven't done anything else since this . The next thing I am looking at is a Disney movie. The best thing to find that balance is to do something that is just for children. You know, you find different ways to make things matter. When, for example, you do fun action movies, they are empowering for my daughters."

And since we've gotten word that the Luc Besson movie she had been eyeing seems to have stalled, and Maleficent recently got Robert Stromberg as a director, we think it's safe to say that the Linda Woolverton-written adaptation of the classic fairy tale is definitely where we'll see her next!

So, so cool!

Gurl is going to ROCK this! Don't U think?
