Sports and fashion appear to go hand-in-hand rather well as the two industries certainly appear to complement each other rather well.
A number of sports stars from both the male and female disciplines have gone into fashion at some point during and/or after their careers, with many having gone on to make a splash in both worlds by being as fashionable as they were effective in their sport.
There have been a number of fashionable sportswomen throughout history, with women from a wide array of different sports having been seen as some of the biggest fashionistas around.
Serena Williams
No argument could ever be made to suggest that Serena Williams is not one of the most fashionable sportswomen to have ever graced the planet. Whilst her family have been blessed in both departments with her sister, Venus, also fashionable and talented, Serena is arguably the greatest female tennis player to have ever played the sport.
Despite being a fierce competitor on the court, she also takes time out of her hectic playing schedule to focus on a number of things, including fashion as it is a huge passion of hers. Whether it be wearing some gorgeous outfits when competing at events, such as the upcoming Wimbledon tournament where she is considered one of the favorites to win the title according to the odds provided by Sports Betting Sites NJ, or when she is at events away from tennis, there is no doubt that she will be wearing something that catches the eyes.
She has been appointed to the board of directors at fashion retailers, Poshmark, whilst she also became the first African-American female athlete to grace the cover of Vogue magazine in 2015.
Maria Sharapova
Tennis has always seen a number of sportswomen combine their love of fashion with the sport that they love, with Maria Sharapova just another example as a sportswoman who has become an icon in both spheres. The blonde Russian bombshell has been lauded for her abilities on the court, whilst also for her fashion sense for years.
Sharapova has been a model for many fashion brands, with many having had her walk down the catwalk for them in their biggest pieces, whilst she regularly features in commercials for fashion pieces, as well as for sports brands; thus, showing her appeal around the world.
Aly Raisman
Perhaps a little more unknown, Aly Raisman is another sportswoman who has been recognized as an individual that has some of the best fashion sense going.
For those unaware as to who she is, Raisman is a gymnast who represented and captained the US Women’s gymnastics team that won back-to-back Olympic competitions in 2012 and 2016. She was the leader of the ‘Fierce Five’ as well as the ‘Final Five’, with her achievements with the latter having been widely talked about throughout the sport as she won a silver for her individual performance before guiding the team to gold.
In regards to fashion, Raisman has been a model for companies such as Sports Illustrated, as she has appeared on the cover of their Swimsuit editions in 2017 and 2018, and it would not be a surprise if the 26-year-old were to model more in the future because of how fashionable she is.
Danica Patrick
Danica Patrick may have often been seen in racing jumpsuits and a helmet, however when she was not being a highly successful NASCAR driver, she was spotted being incredibly fashionable with the outfit choices that she could be seen in.
She would often swap out the racing attire for a number of different dress numbers and some statement-making jewelry that would be hard to go unnoticed.
