‘Stunning’: Marta Kostyuk’s Wimbledon wedding dress stuns tennis world

World No. 18 Marta Kostyuk has the Wimbledon “best dressed” award in the bag with an incredible story behind her All-England Club outfit.

Marta Kostyuk is hoping to make this a special fortnight at Wimbledon – with a classy reference to her special day.

The Ukrainian tennis star, 22, married her husband Hryhoriy last November.

And in her first appearance at the All England Club since tying the knot, she hopes memories of her wedding can inspire her to glory on the famous lawns of SW19.

That is because Kostyuk has taken inspiration from her wedding dress – also made by Wilson – to design her bold outfit for the 2024 Championships.

Of course, kits at Wimbledon must be all white – just like the traditional colour for wedding dresses.

So Kostyuk teamed up with her sponsors and suppliers Wilson to create the unique number, a stunning piece which features a cut-out back and beautiful dress.

And the gorgeous kit went down a storm with tennis fans on social media.

One said: “Stunning.”

Another wrote: “So cute.”

A third added: “Elegance and style on display along with top-tier tennis.”

A fourth typed: “This is actually so cool.”

A fifth posted: “I’m obsessed. The buttons!!”

A sixth replied: “So happy with the work Wilson is putting into kits. Especially when it feels like the larger names have been lacking in making special custom pieces!”

And a final user commented: “Best kit of Wimbledon.”

At the time of her wedding, Kostyuk paid tribute to Wilson for her wedding dress.

“Wilson has always supported my dreams on the court, but my relationship with the brand goes far beyond tennis,” she wrote.

“A big shout out and huge thank you to the talented team there that worked around my demanding tour schedule to make another dream come true; a custom, one-of-a-kind wedding dress that turned out even more amazing than I could have imagined.”

Marta Kostyuk poses for Vogue Ukraine.

Kostyuk is no stranger to a bold outfit – both on and off the court.

Her Wilson kit for 2023 went down a storm with fans and her green 2024 French Open number was crowned the winner of the Roland Garros fashion game.

And ahead of this year’s Championships, she even modelled topless in a Vogue photo shoot.

Now after finding her perfect match off the court in Hryhoriy, she will be desperate to produce her perfect game, set and match at Wimbledon 2024.
