The 5-time Grand Slam champion and tennis icon, Maria Sharapova, is a superstar in the fashion industry. Maria was and is known widely for her fashion sense. She only wears the classiest and elegant looking outfits. Anything short of it gets a straight-up rejection. Her decision about what she wears is a very non-negotiable topic. So much so that even Nike, her design company had to give in to her demands.
Maria Sharapova had a long-standing apparel deal with Nike, which began in 2010 and lasted until her retirement in 2020. As part of the deal, Nike designed and produced her on-court outfits. However, many of their designs did not fit her style and Maria took them seriously.

She began to work with Nike and mapped out her dresses for every major tournament. The design process often began months in advance and sometimes a complete year. As soon as the tournament kicks off, Nike launches the design commercially. The costumes came as a part of the “Nike Maria” collections, which featured dresses, skirts, and other clothing items designed for both performance and style.
Maria Sharapova’s glamorous fashion sense
Sharapova’s fashion style can be described as elegant, chic, and sophisticated. She often wears form-fitting dresses, tailored suits, and high heels. Sharapova is also known for her love of classic pieces and clean lines. She frequently wears black, white, and neutral tones, but she also experiments with bold colors and patterns from time to time.
In fact, Maria has launched her very own collection called The Maria Sharapova Collection which exemplifies her signature style. The collection is known for its attention to detail, with each piece carefully crafted and tailored to fit with perfection. It also includes a range of accessories, including bags and shoes to complement the clothing designs.
