Christine “Chris” Marie Evert was only 16 when she made her Grand Slam tennis debut in 1971 at the US Open in New York City. With an impressive double-fisted backhand swing and an unbreakable focus, Evert quickly rose to fame. She also brought a fresh level of spirit and personal style to the game, making her an instant fashion icon. From her precise low-ponytail hairstyle to the babydoll dresses she would wear while delivering match points, Evert’s feminine, yet athletic style continues to influence sartorial trends.
