The 2025 WTA Finals photoshoot brought together the year’s top-performing athletes for a stylish group portrait ahead of the prestigious tournament, now held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Let’s take a closer look at what the Elite 8 chose to wear for this occasion at the Bab AlSaad Resort.
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka exuded confidence and power in a red, figure-hugging Alberta Ferretti dress with a dramatic cape overlay. The Belarusian completed the look with burgundy pointed heels and minimal jewelry, aside from her statement Audemars Piguet watch, allowing the bold silhouette to speak for itself. Her sleek pulled-back bun perfectly complemented the strong, modern aesthetic.
Iga Swiatek opted for a satin copper Lurline ensemble featuring fluid draping and a soft scarf detail at the neckline. The custom sleeveless design by Saudi sister duo and asymmetrical hemline were complemented by a tied belt made from the same material. Her chocolate-colored stilettos matched her chunky bracelet, ring, and earrings.
Defending champion Coco Gauff looked radiant in a deep purple satin Miu Miu gown with a bow-tied back and her curly hair tied in a high ponytail. Silver jewelry and metallic heels added sparkle to her custom look.
Timeless glamour defined Jessica Pegula’s appearance — a rust-colored velvet Talbot Runhof gown with an off-shoulder neckline and a floor-sweeping hem. Her Manolo Blahnik heels peeked subtly from beneath the dress. The luxurious texture and warm tone were beautifully complemented by the American’s Hollywood-glam waves. This is my favorite look of the photoshoot!
Madison Keys dazzled in a lime-green sequined column gown by Lela Rose. The sleeveless, high-neck silhouette balanced shimmer with sophistication, flattering her athletic frame, while her sleek straight hair and soft, neutral makeup allowed the vibrant dress to take center stage.
Ethereal and minimalist, Elena Rybakina exuded princess vibes in a light brown sleeveless dress adorned with delicate buttons along the torso. The ankle-length A-line silhouette felt both sophisticated and graceful, perfectly complemented by her neatly waved, side-parted hair tucked behind her ears.
Dressed in Brunello Cucinelli from head to toe, Jasmine Paolini sparkled in a champagne-gold sequined gown with long sleeves and a body-skimming silhouette. The all-over shimmer catched the light beautifully. Her soft updo, with two sculpted waves framing her face, highlights her natural beauty.
Amanda Anisimova wore a light-beige one-shoulder gown that flowed gracefully to her ankles. The soft fabric and draped silhouette accentuated her natural poise, while her straight, understated hairstyle, nude heels, and statement gold hoops completed the modern siren look.
