Belarusian tennis ace Aryna Sabalenka, known for showcasing stylish outfits on social media, took her glamour game to the next level when she strutted down the runway at Milan Fashion Week recently.
Sabalenka, 28, who signed with Italian fashion giant Gucci in January, wore a brown, turtleneck gown while taking part in the Vogue World: Milano event.
Interestingly, the women's World No. 2 picked up a few catwalk tips from model Irina Shayk, Cristiano Ronaldo's former girlfriend of five years, who walked the runway in a black-and-gold dress shortly after Sabalenka. The six-time Grand Slam champ, who lost the US Open final to Elena Rybakina last week, was seen chatting with Shayk, 40, backstage. "I'm learning from the best," Sabalenka said in a video later. Meanwhile, Shayk called Sabalenka, "My runway queen."
