Venus Williams and her playsuit in action at Wimbledon. Photos: PA
The playsuit appeared to be perfectly suited to sports, allowing Venus to move freely around the court and win her opening match. The star herself referred to the romper as a 'jumper' - "Jumpers are very 'now', as is lace."
It's great to see something a little different on the courts, but we would argue that the budding designer needs to put a little more thought into how underwear works with the outfit - perhaps this would have been a good time to swap those gold hotpants back for those flesh-coloured ones she wore at the 2010 French Open!
