Her tennis skills are what put her on the map and she is known as the second best female player in the world.
But it seems Maria Sharapova doesn't want that to be her only trademark, as evidenced by a glitzy appearance on Tuesday.
Displaying her dashing flair off the court, the Russian born beauty accentuated her athletic figure in a flirty teal blue mini dress featuring a black PVC overlay and a ruffled hem by designer David Koma.
The 26-year-old celebrated the one year anniversary of her candy collection Sugarpova at Henri Bendel in New York City.
She teamed the sleeveless frock with a pair of black, pointed-toe pumps and completing her look, the sports star wore her blonde locks in loose waves and added a feminine pop of colour with a bright pink pout.
Her
accessories line which she also launched at the event, extended her
brand with pieces such as pendants and purses branded with the company's
lips logo.
Making her day of work fun, Maria got playful as she posed with her products, smiling and showcasing a variety of goods from her premium line of gummy candies and chewing gum.
A marketing guru at heart, Maria - who earned an estimate $29 million from June 2012 to June 2013 - had wanted to temporarily change her name to Maria Sugarpova for the upcoming U.S. Open, according to a report by The Times Of London.
Yet, her agent Max Eisenbud told ESPN on Tuesday that they 'ultimately decided against it.'
Instead, he added: 'Maria has pushed her team to do fun, out-of-the-box-type things to get the word out about Sugarpova.
'In Miami, we're going to fill a glass truck full of candy and drive it around town. This was an idea that fell along those lines.
'But, at the end of the day, we would have to change all her identification, she has to travel to Japan and China right after the tournament and it was going to be very difficult.'
