Who: Maria Sharapova
What: Jewel-adorned Alexander McQueen dress and heels, Hellmuth earrings
Wear: The 2011 ESPYS presented by ESPN at the Nokia theatre in L.A. last night

Tennis-playing phenom Maria Sharapova wore Alexander McQueen from head to dazzling toe at last night’s 2011 ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) Awards. The black minidress from McQueen’s pre-fall 2011 collection looked just as show-stopping on the red carpet as it did on stage, where she presented the award for Best Upset alongside NBA player Amar’e Stoudemire to Virginia Commonwealth University basketball coach Shaka Smart. The ultra-low back, sexy slit, and short skirt amped up Sharapova’s seductive appeal, and we love how the tennis great pulled off the luxe jewel-encrusted look with the same laid-back confidence she showcases every season on the court. As a final touch to her otherwise all-Alexander-McQueen look, the stunning athlete chose perfectly matching black-and-gold Hellmuth earrings. Maria Sharapova is currently the fifth ranked player by the Women’s Tennis Association and was seeded fifth at this year’s Wimbledon tournament.
