Anna Kournikova Revives Sport-Glam in 2002 Editorial Moment

In a sleek black dress and windswept hair, Anna Kournikova fused athletic poise with pop sensuality—like tennis royalty moonlighting as a Bond girl.

Before Instagram made every athlete a brand, Anna Kournikova was already rewriting the rules. In this 2002 editorial photoshoot—likely part of her official calendar campaign shot by Bill Ling in Acapulco, Mexico—Kournikova trades her tennis whites for a sleeveless black dress with a plunging neckline and side detailing that hints at eveningwear with a sporty twist.

The fabric appears to be a stretch jersey or satin blend, hugging her frame with the precision of a tailored serve. The V-neckline and side embellishment add just enough drama, while the simplicity of the silhouette keeps the focus on her posture—upright, confident, and camera-aware.
