Sabalenka Stuns in Custom Off-White Jacket at Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix

Aryna Sabalenka, the world's second-ranked tennis player, made a stylish pit stop at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix on Sunday, turning heads with a custom Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh jacket. The eye-catching piece featured a roaring tiger on the back, Sabalenka's signature animal, along with a tennis ball and her nickname, "Saby."

Sabalenka's outfit, which included a black-and-white tank, a black skirt, and matching flats, was accessorized by the jacket's gray and white accents. The fashion house's insignia and a note reading "Exclusively made for Aryna Sabalenka" adorned the front.

Sabalenka is not the first tennis player to collaborate with Off-White. Before his passing in 2021, Virgil Abloh worked with Serena and Venus Williams on several projects, including their match kits for the 2018 US Open and Roland Garros. He also designed Elina Svitolina's wedding dress.

However, Sabalenka's custom jacket was not intended for the tennis court. She wore it during a pre-race tour of the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, courtesy of the MoneyGram Haas F1 team.

Sabalenka met Danish driver Kevin Magnussen, who finished 12th in the race, and got up close to the cars trackside. "From the court to the track," she wrote on social media. "Thanks for the tour!"

Sabalenka's off-court style will soon be replaced by another head-turning on-court look. She recently helped Nike unveil its 2024 tournament collection for Roland Garros. After winning her second Australian Open title in an exclusive red colorway of Nike's Melbourne line, Sabalenka hopes to replicate her success in a clay-court-inspired Parisian rust.
