Wimbledon 2010: Serena and Venus Williams take to grass-court catwalk
Serena Williams Basing your look, left, on strawberries and cream – so simple, so iconic Wimbledon. Makes you wonder why has no one thought of it before, no? Unexpectedly the 'food as fashion' idea totally works. It's a limited look, though – can't see her pulling off a jug of Pimms skirt by the semis. Ana Ivanovic Time was, the dress over leggings look was cutting edge. Alas no more. If the leggings were ankle length, Ivanovic might be bagging a little style kudos but these just-below-the knee versions have too much of the Saturday night-town-centre-CCTV about them. Bad call. Venus Williams Hula girls meets Twenties flapper. The flapper vibe works well for Venus but the grass skirt feels way too forced. Is it meant to represent the grass court? It's too tenuous. Wimbledon 2010 is all about literal, not lateral fashion. Game Serena. Maria Sharapova Nike have gone all out with their conceptual designs this year. This is apparently inspired by English rose petals. Whatevs. The layers work – fluttery but sort of sporty still. But the real triumph is the cropped white Zara-esque tux jacket. Shame she blew it by fastening the buttons. Dustin Brown Such a shame Brown is out. His debut look was a real hope- raiser: über-minimalism with only a last-minute, temporary sponsorship, Air Berlin patch to detract. The mismatched neon shoelaces are a clue as to Brown's suppressed inner-stylist. Here's hoping he makes a show court next year.
