On June 20th, London's Kensington Rooftop Gardens were once again home to a fabulous party to mark the 127th edition of Wimbledon. WTA's leading ladies dressed up for a night to remember, a night dedicated to fashion, beauty and tennis. Burberry was the star brand of the gala, with top names such as Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Laura Robson, all wearing signature gowns. I liked Serena's dress, but I was even more impressed by her styling, as the American tops my best dressed list. It was a close call though, as Brit Anne Keothawong almost stole the show with her stunning white colourblocker Antonio Berardi gown. That dress is drop dead gorgeous, but overall, I liked Serena's look more.
Although some played it safe, going with the regular lbd, the young generation showed courage and class, with both Heather Watson and American Sloane Stephens looking stunning in vibrant yellow mini frocks.
Sara Errani and Angelique Kerber provided two sad examples of how not to dress on such a glamorous occasion. They wore boring and uninspired outfits.
 |
| SERENA WILLIAMS stole the show in a stunning white Burberry London dress to which she accessorised a turquoise clutch. The American is my pick for the 'Best Dressed' award. |
 |
| ANNE KEOTHAVONG gave Serena a run for her money wearing a stunning white colourblocker Antonio Berardi gown. Anne took a risk and it paid off. I totally loved the dress. It was the highlight of the night. |
 |
| MARIA SHARAPOVA rocked the red carpet in a Burberry Prorsum pre-fall 2013 dress with Charlotte Olympia accessories. |
 |
| ANA IVANOVIC remained faithful to designer Matthew Williamson. |
 |
| Always edgy, VICTORIA AZARENKA opted for a lbd which she spiced up with a golden belt and a spiky pair of shoes. |
 |
| A much too blonde AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA also relied on the famous lbd. I love the accessories, the multicoloured shoes and the nude pink clutch. |
 |
| ANASTASIA PAVLYUCHENKOVA looked rather scary in this oddly shaped lbd. The transparency is really not helping her, as her breasts seem mutilated. The make-up didn't work either, as it was ageing her tremendously. |
 |
| Fashionista wannabe, JELENA JANKOVIC, pulled together a winning look, opting for a long coral gown. The Serbian resembled a Greek goddess. |
 |
| DANIELA HANTUCHOVA wore a mini little white dress that showed off her gorgeous legs. |
 |
| LAURA ROBSON looked sophisticated and chic in a emerald green Burberry Prorsum dress. |
 |
| HEATHER WATSON was all smiles in this yellow Forever Unique lace dress. |
 |
| Teen sensation, SLOANE STEPHENS, continued to show exquisite taste, opting for a courageous short yellow frock that perfectly complements her skin tone. |
 |
| EUGENIE BOUCHARD turned heads in a sexy electric blue frock that showed off her great body. |
 |
| BETHANIE MATTEK-SANDS always knows how to make an entrace. The American wore a completely crazy green&blue hairdo, plus the latest technology from Google, Google Glass, that had everyone talking. At least she kept it simple with her clothing, opting for a simple white long gown. |
