Maria Sharapova, the former tennis superstar and French Open champion, looks remarkably different five years after retiring from the sport. Known for her blonde hair and fierce on-court presence, she now sports a striking brunette look.
The 2004 Wimbledon champion and two-time French Open winner once topped Forbes’ list of highest-paid female athletes. With a career spanning Grand Slam titles and major endorsements, she became a global icon far beyond the tennis world.
Since retirement in 2020, Sharapova has shifted focus to family life and business. She welcomed a son, Theodore, in 2022 with fiancé Alexander Gilkes, and frequently appears at events representing her luxury brand partnerships.
Sharapova’s transformation has surprised fans, but her legacy remains intact. From dominating the court to thriving in motherhood and business, she continues to evolve—cementing her place as one of sport’s most successful figures.
