The dress Aryna Sabalenka will wear at the upcoming big tournament in Australia is the Nike Women’s Spring Slam Dress. Inspired by iconic looks from tennis fashion icons Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, it has now become the Belarusian’s all-time favorite outfit. Let’s discuss all three versions of the design, including the main pink-and-orange one, along with her new custom jewelry.

The WTA world number one’s new dress is a figure-hugging, color-block design that resembles surfing gear, reimagined for the tennis court. While summer-inspired outfits are often the go-to choice for the Australian Open, Sabalenka’s inspiration was different this time. Nike revisited iconic looks worn by Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova—specifically the American’s 2021 Australian Open bodysuit, inspired by legendary Olympic sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner (Flo-Jo), and the Russian’s orange Nike racerback dress from the 2016 Australian Open.

The new Nike Spring Slam Dress is available in three color variants, with Sabalenka’s top choice being the combination of laser fuchsia, atomic orange, and black. The other two options pair light lemon twist with mean green, and sapphire with light thistle, both accented with black.
Not only is Sabalenka reviving the glamour of Serena and Masha, she’s also stepping up her jewelry game, just as the WTA fashion legends did back in the day. The two-time Australian Open champion has revealed that she will wear statement pieces by Material Good at this month’s Grand Slam, a brand she discovered in New York last year.

“Collaborating with them to design my set for this Slam has been a dream come true,” Sabalenka wrote about her earrings and necklace on Instagram. “For the AO this year, we wanted to incorporate my love for the beach with my true love – tennis.”
The 2026 Nike Melbourne collection is available at both Tennis Warehouse USA and Tennis Warehouse Europe.
