Marta Kostyuk, the Ukrainian tennis superstar, has once again made the headlines, this time due to her outfit. She is currently competing at Wimbledon and wore a brand new outfit designed for the tournament which proved to be a showstopper.
Her Wimbledon outfit was a white dress with a deep V-neck and a back cut, making her one of the most sought after dressed women in this tournament. This exquisite dress was masterfully designed by Wilson, who also had designed her stunning wedding gown, expertly incorporating similar elements to the Wimbledon attire as well.
Kostyuk got married in November 2023 and wore a traditional wedding dress which had the same deep V and a back cut as her current Wimbledon outfit. Although her wedding outfit extended to the gown, the same was just cut to the skirt length for the tournament.
I want someone to see this dress and be like, Wow, I can actually get married in this dress that she’s playing in. And I think it will be cool if someone really thinks that.Marta Kostyuk revealed while speaking about the dress via Vogue
She was delighted with the outfit and the choice of including Wilson as her wedding gown designer. The sporting company is not known to design wedding gowns, but they have outdone themselves to use a normal tennis dress to create a full-fledged wedding outfit.

Marta Kostyuk faces second-round scare against Daria Saville at SW19
19th seed Marta Kostyuk was up against Daria Saville in the second round of SW19. It was an interesting matchup, and the fans expected it to go to the third set. What they did not expect was for the match to cross the iconic three-hour mark and turn into a nail-biter.
The Ukrainian was just left questioning her opponent’s game in the first game and by the time she figured it out; she was facing a match point. Two sets in, and Saville had a match point on her opponent. However, Kostyuk saved the point and fought from that position to convert it to her win.
She won the match with a set and a double breakdown to seal her place into the next round (4-6, 7-6, 6-4). She will take on the 12th seed Madison Keys next.
