World’s sexiest tennis star looks unrecognisable in elegant outfit as fans gush ‘you are the definition of beautiful’
TENNIS legend Maria Sharapova had fans gushing over her stylish look at Paris Fashion Week.
Her talent on the court landed five Grand Slam titles, including triumphing at The Australian Open in 2008 aged just 21.
But since retirement she has become an extraordinary mentor for women business owners and a style icon.
Sharapova stunned in the French capital as she rocked up in an all black outfit for a Valentino event.
And one fan said: “You are the definition of beautiful.”
Another reacted: “Almost unrecognizable.”
One hailed: “Pure class, pure style, pure strength and pure beauty.”
Sharapova is no stranger to glam cover photoshoots with fashion magazines as it made her the definitive face off the court.
But at the age of 32 she hung up her racket, after serving a 15-month drug ban.
Although her sweet company Sugarpova, which she invested around £400,000 11 years ago, is now worth a staggering £150million.
It rakes in £16million every year – selling sweets and premium chocolate in over 22 countries, clearing £16m annually.
So some could argue the journey from world’s sexiest tennis star to global business innovator is complete.
