This may just be my opinion, although I have seen others posting on various forums and articles who seem to agree with me. This tennis outfit, along with the nude colored underwear worn by Venus Williams is totally out of line. Not only is it in bad taste, it is totally gross and disgusting. You may click on the image to enlarge it if you need to see the disgust in greater detail.
Williams may be a good tennis player, but her Australian Open tennis outfit leaves a lot to be desired, no pun intended. She is someone a lot of up-and-coming female tennis stars may look up to, but they don’t need to look up at this! It’s bad when after her first serve people are wondering if she forgot to put on her underwear. This outfit would have been out of line any female tennis player.
She claims she needed to wear nude colored underwear so the underwear didn’t show through the slits at the side of her skirt. Give me a break. A tennis skirt doesn’t need slits so high that you have to worry about your underwear showing. The underwear shows enough, and sometimes too much, already without the waist-high slits. She designed it, she wanted it that way, she wore it, and I think it looks gross.
My final opinion is that she should have been banned from the tournament until she changed her clothes. There must be some kind of dress code for tournaments, especially Grand Slam tournaments that get so much “exposure”. I was happy when she finally got beat out of the tournament so I didn’t have to look at “it” anymore. I know, I could have turned off my TV, but I had to watch to see if my hopes that she would lose would come true.
I’d be interested to see what others think. Gross? Or not gross?
