This! Although I think it would look better without the sleeve.

It has that Golden Age of Hollywood charm. She looked great in both dresses, though. Her hair looked amazing!

Maria Sharapova shines at Vanity Fair Oscar Party, “steals” an Oscar, roots for Jennifer Lawrence

February 26, 2013 By Tennis Grandstand


No stranger to the glitzy Hollywood scene, Maria Sharapova graced the Vanity Fair Oscar After Party with her glowing presence following Sunday night’s Academy Awards.

In her arrival interview, Sharapova talked about her love of Jennifer Lawrence, whether she gets starstruck and speaks to the glamour of attending the Oscars.

On her thoughts about Oscar night: “It’s certainly the most glamorous. It’s nice to be able to mingle with also some athletes — I’ve seen a few already. To be able to watch the Oscars and get ready for a glamorous event is always fun for me. It’s very unusual to be part of something like this.”

On who she was rooting for: “I personally love Jennifer Lawrence. I think she’s had such a great attitude. She’s an amazing actress, but so young and fresh and youthful. Doesn’t take everything so seriously. I love that type of attitude in an actress. I’m happy to see her win.”

On whether she gets starstruck: “It’s nice to see people being celebrated for what they do. Obviously, tonight is Oscar night so it’s nice to be able to walk by an Oscar nominee or an Oscar winner. It’s such a different business to what I am usually a part of. But I think we all know how hard it takes to get to a certain position in our careers.”

She looked stunning in a contemporary, floor-length silhouette by Amanda Wakeley which emphasized her athletic physique with relaxed and flowing tailoring and a deep-cut back. Shoes were Manolo Blahniks and the edgy yet chic clutch was an Alexander McQueen accessory. Earrings also by Isharaya and matching golden cuffs by Katherine Sultan.

A critique of Maria's outfit from the Vanity Fair Oscar's party from one of my favourite websites:

http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.c...ty-fair-party/

"When you have a toned, athletic body like Maria Sharapova, you look good in just about anything.

The tennis star looked radiant while taking to the red carpet at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood, California for the 2013 Vanity Fair party on Sunday evening.

Continuing her love affair with British designers, she wore an Amanda Wakeley Fall 2013 Demi Couture navy gown with a Cleopatra-esque beaded bib which draped over her open back.

Her sleek, modern look was styled with Katherine Sultan cuffs, an Alexander McQueen clutch, Isharya earrings and Manolo Blahnik shoes.

A simple centre-parted ‘do with flawless makeup completed her stunning look".

Maria Sharapova Gives La Quinta Some Sugar
- See more at: http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/20....lqPY2H6H.dpuf

Here's the latest happening in the luxury hotel world as told by JustLuxe's own Lena Katz. Got a question about luxury hotels, the travel biz, and where to stay? Send it in and we'll have Lena answer it.

You know when models go, “Oh, I eat tons of junk food and I just have this body naturally…” and you want to say “Yeah, RIGHT” and smack them?? Well, hottie tennis star Maria Sharapova is out to one-up all of them. She launched her own candy line, Sugarpova, to coincide with last year’s US Open, and is appearing at La Quinta Resort & Club on March 6th to introduce her goodies in person to Palm Springs crowds.

Sugarpova’s full line will be sold in the tennis pro shop and the candy shop Lollipops from here on out, with La Quinta being the first California resort and first Palm Springs retail outlet to carry the brand. “Sporty” tennis ball-shaped gum is anticipated to be the big seller, but we’re more curious about the Flirty Sours (tag line “Lips like sugar…”) and Chic gummies shaped like tiny handbags, shoes and such.

In terms of why exactly La Quinta is getting Sugarpova first and also getting tennis’ golden girl to do an in-person appearance… well, you can chalk it up to the tennis connection. With 23 tennis courts and former Davis Cup coach Tom Gorman leading up the resort tennis program, the resort is home-away-from-home for many tennis stars when they’re playing in the area, which they all will be March 4-17, for the PNR Paribas Open.
La Quinta has definitely had Sharapova on-property before, and it just made sense, according to a La Quinta rep, for her to do a little in-person PR for her brand while in the neighborhood. She’ll be signing autographs and giving out free samples starting at 5:20 PM in the Main Plaza.

Honestly, Sharapova’s pretty awesome at her day job, which is incredibly physically grueling, and we give her credit for that. She’s currently ranked No. 3 in the world among professional female tennis players, so obviously she’s not turning into another Anna Kournikova – and if she wants to have a side gig, then fine. She even, according to USA Today, put $500,000 of her own toward startup money for the candy line. Which makes us even less able to hate her, because she’s obviously not just another celeb using her name to endorse a product in exchange for a piece of the profits. Apparently, we must take what she says as the truth: Girl loves her candy. Really.

So to anyone who was thinking of getting a little Palm Springs pool time in early March, you’d better start the juice fast now. You’ll be putting your body out there for comparison with She Who Eats Candy As a Second Job and Looks Like THAT. And also, her associates Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, and so on.

Actually, given that there are 41 pools on the La Quinta grounds, you can probably find one that isn’t inhabited by pinup-superhumans, their trainers and groupies. But where’s the fun in that?

If I understand correctly, Kiefer is staying on the team as assistant coach, right?

I think Co-Trainer is not the same as Assistant Coach, but I have no idea

Hopefully, she indeed had some input into the designing. Maria has always voiced her architectural aspirations and it would be nice to see her explore this side of hers. She is such an INTP.

"Interiors Designed by Maria Sharapova"
Didn't I say it much before?

This one of the Trevi fountain is one of those like "Oh, check out how I'm interested in architecture and desing. Oh, I even studied to be a interiors designer. This gives me a sense of aesthetics that will be seen in every product that I endorse or design."
