The four-time Grand Slam champion stunned onlookers in a figure-hugging blue and black dress, by David Koma, that fully displayed her toned and tanned legs, the Daily Express reported.

Sharapova teamed up the dress with a pair of pointy court shoes and minimal jewellery.

The blonde beauty left her tresses in loose curls and kept her make-up to a minimum except for a sweep of pink lipstick.

Sharapova also launched an accessory line at the event that featured pieces such as pendants and purses.

But there was disappointment for her legion of fans as she pulled out of next week's US Open due to a shoulder injury.

Last week, Sharapova, who  triumphed at Flushing Meadows in 2006, fired coach Jimmy Connors after just a match together!

Sharapova wanted to legally change her surname to 'Sugarpova' before the fortnight of the US Open.

She had approached the Supreme Court of Florida to get it changed, in line with the brand of lollies she launched.

However, the shrewd businesswoman's agent, Max Eisenbud, said they ultimately decided against it, adding that the tennis star had pushed her team to do fun, out-of-the-box-type things to get the word out about Sugarpova.
