Remember how enthralled we were in this space with Venus Williams’ new dress for the first round of the Australian Open 2011 yesterday? Yeah, we’re pretty much over that, and it’s all thanks to what she wore in her second-round match:
Venus Williams’ Dress At The Australian Open 2011: Tell Us What You’ve Done Here
This is everything the blue dress is not, and the differences are striking. No clean lines. The bottom colors are too busy, and the yellow tone on the top is a little sickly. Bunches and bulges in odd places. If there’s any upside to this getup, it’s that the horror of the design may drown out any discussions of its length.
After the jump, SB Nation staffers react to the outfit:“No adjectives but “XANADU,” which is not an adjective at all.”
“JEM?“
“Just put in a bearded guitarist next to her and they’re an indie duo.”
“She’s a hostess at a space-age Captain D’s!”
“It’s like a moldy garden lattice was murdered by a bond villain called Silver Fish.”
Assuming she recovers well enough from her hip flexor injury to continue, Williams will face Sandra Zahlavova in the third round of the Australian Open 2011.
