This is a good outfit! I like the stripes. The purple shoes don't tie in as much, from what I can tell in pictures, but as a separate unit I like them. I just hope her sponsors continue to stand by her.

Serena's outfit looked slightly more neon on Instagram to me than it does here, and I wonder if that's just a function of the lighting on the night court (not to be confused with Night Court). So I don't think it reads as interestingly in this photo as it did in person. But I like it! I'm into the color! I don't think she does lime very much and she totally should.

... but I actually think she's ALSO wearing this, and the lighting is just wonky so you can't see the contrast. I don't hate it but the color-blocking seems very arbitrary? It's also mesh on top, stripes in the middle, and solid on the bottom, and the stripes alone would have been perfectly cute.

Venus! She went out in the first round. I'm concerned that wearing all white to the French says, "This is my Wimbledon kit, and I'm just using it at the French because I assume I won't be around there long enough to ruin it."

This is neat. New Balance needs to get her some coordinated accessories, though -- or at least the shoes. I mean, obviously that's not hugely important, but Coco is someone they're clearly designing FOR, as opposed to giving her whatever, so let's give her some kicked-up kicks.
