Dressed elegantly in black, Sharapova showcased her unmistakable fashion sense in a sophisticated black jacket, harmoniously paired with a sheer top, elegantly tailored flare pants, stilettos, and a stylish handbag. The 36-year-old former tennis player shared moments from the night on her Instagram account to her 4.6 million followers, highlighting her impressive figure and her natural talent for elegantly capturing the camera.
Sharapova, who reached the world number 1 position in tennis in August 2005, at the age of 18, and held the title four times throughout her career, expressed her excitement for the event in her post: “Spent Sunday night in awe watching the incredible Oscar-nominated performances and today getting a glimpse of Annette Bening in her latest role in ‘Apples Never Falls’.”
In addition to her successful tennis career, Sharapova was recognized by Maxim for four consecutive years, starting in 2006, as the world’s most attractive athlete. Upon retiring from the sport in 2020, she had already amassed $39 million in prize money, putting her in third place on the all-time WTA Tour list, in addition to earning over $300 million (pre-tax) off the court.
The premiere event of ‘Apples Never Fall’ not only highlighted the series but also served as a stage for Sharapova to shine off the court, reaffirming her status as a fashion and beauty icon in the world of sports and entertainment.
