How feminine outfits look on athletic bodies: 10 of the most striking looks of 2023

Sportswomen love to shine not only at the start, but also on the carpet. Both current and former figure skaters and tennis players, thanks to their trim figures, can afford even the most daring outfits. Minis, slits, fit! We’ve gathered the most feminine looks of 2023 and asked a stylist to analyze them from the point of view of fashion potential.

“All girls love to dress up. Sportswomen are no exception. Let’s break down which looks are worth repeating and which need to be refined.”

Alina Zagitova

Alina Zagitova (figure skating).

Quite a bold image that can cause ambiguous associations. On the one hand, any clothes look good on young and slender girls. On the other hand, this outfit has too much of everything and at the same time something is missing. There is a corset, and lace, and gloves, and plume, and cleavage …

The gloves and the train should have been removed. Add a long black or white jacket. It will make the image more strict and, accordingly, status.

Maria Sharapova

Maria is delightful in this image! The right silhouette emphasizes the athlete’s figure. We would like to note the orange-red color – the trend of 2024. It looks fresh on the tennis player and successfully shades her light skin tone.

If you look at the whole image, it is quite closed. At the same time, we see a rather frank neckline. So the image becomes complex and simple at the same time, because it is not overloaded with unnecessary details.

Victoria Sinitsina

First of all I would like to note Victoria’s figure, which looks like a porcelain statue with perfect proportions. This effect is created also thanks to the hypertrophied large shoulders of the jacket. On their background thin waist looks even smaller.

Black silhouette floor-length dress visually pulls out the growth. The color of the bag does not draw attention to itself. You could call the image boring, but the silver shoes add emphasis.

By the way, this image would look heavier on a brunette, but blonde hair refreshes it. This look can be described in two words – minimalism and grace.

Elena Rybakina

The dress is simple but elegant. The accent shoulders give it strictness, and the cutouts add boldness. Judging by the espadrilles, we can conclude that Elena wanted to create a beach look, but then it should have been complemented with a straw bag or a hat.

If we are starting from the Channel bag, then it is better to choose open sandals for such an image. They would continue the idea of open parts of the dress. Specifically in this case, the mixing of styles did not play to the hand. This is either a luxe or a relaxed outfit.

Anna Scherbakova

Anna Scherbakova (figure skating).

This look can be called “all the best at once”. Yes, we can mix gold and silver accessories, but in this case they only overloaded the image. Silver threads on the neck and jewelry on the shoes, gold-decorated Chanel bag – all this together does not combine and spoils the perception.

Decorative flowers on the neck – already an accent jewelry. Here it is also complemented with bright metal. I would advise to remove the flower and replace the bag with a silver one. Then the image would be more elegant.

Even a beige or nude bag would make it softer. At the same time, I would like to note that the dress is above all praise, it can be attributed to the now fashionable quiet luxury.

Simone Biles

Simone Biles (gymnastics)

Simone perfectly matched the color of the dress to her skin tone and hair color. The outfit itself is very fashionable and up-to-date: voluminous top, open shoulders, mini length. The result is a cool image, which not only complies with the rules of stylistics, but also leaves room for individuality.

I would like to note separately that if the color of the product was red or blue, the image would look vulgar.

Alexia Puteljas

Alexia Puteljas (soccer)

The first thing we see when looking at Alexia is the cleavage, lips and waist. It’s a good thing there are no accessories in the look, otherwise there would be too many points of attention.

The simple white outfit creates a fragile yet monumental silhouette due to the long train. The small neckline on the blouse is well played up. It adds a daring touch. The right shade of lipstick is also praiseworthy. It’s bright but not heavy.

Caroline Costner

Karoline Costner (figure skating).

It’s good that there are no accessories in this look. When choosing such a bright shiny dress, they are not necessary. Otherwise you can turn into a “Christmas tree”. The dress itself is already the main accent.

In general, the image turned out perfect – simple styling, minimalist earrings, calm makeup. The outfit perfectly emphasizes a slim athletic figure.

Tatiana Navka

Tatiana Navka (ice dancing).

Tatiana Navka has a perfect figure honed by many years of sporting activities. A velvet jumpsuit, classic loafers, simple hairstyle and accent jewelry emphasizing the neckline – all this makes the image luxurious.

The cape should have been removed. First of all, it overloaded the image. Secondly, it is most often worn to hide the hands. But sportswomen always have them in great shape. In general, the image is stylish and elegant.

Lindsey Vonn

Lindsey Vonn (alpine skiing).

The overall impression is that all the clothes seem to be small. And it’s not because we’re used to oversize. The pants are tight around the hips and groin area. The corset is too tight at the waist, and it makes the shoulders look wider. The black bow is superfluous against the floral print. Although the pattern itself blends well with the light skin tone.

You could have worn a slightly longer corset. Then it would not “cut” the figure. Remove the bow, and choose flowing pants or wear a skirt. Hair should also be combed upwards, since we choose a corset and open the shoulder line and neckline.
