Marta Kostyuk's Wimbledon Kit Inspired by Wedding Dress
Marta Kostyuk's Wimbledon wardrobe has come full circle, drawing inspiration from her wedding attire. Last year, the Ukrainian tennis star married in two Wilson-designed dresses, and now, she's collaborating with the brand to create her 2024 Wimbledon kit.
The new kit features a sleeveless, deep-V-neck dress with an open back, reminiscent of a bridal gown. However, it also incorporates elements from Kostyuk's wedding dress, such as a button-up top layer. The overdress is shorter for Wimbledon, but retains similar button fixtures.
"We added an underlayer component and raised the neckline a little bit," said Joelle Michaeloff, Wilson's head of design. "We don't want any mistakes in Wimbledon."
Kostyuk debuted the dress on Monday, winning her first-round match in straight sets. Fans can purchase "The Marta Dress" as a two-piece for $298 or a one-piece for $198.
Kostyuk's sartorial choices have garnered attention in the past. She and Wilson have consistently made tennis' best-dressed lists. Their collaboration for the Wimbledon kit is a testament to their shared commitment to style and performance.
