Wimbledon started two days ago and Maria Sharapova not only played well, but looked very chic while doing so.

The three-time Grand Slam champion sported Nike's "Lawn Rose" tennis dress that featured a crisscross bodice and a tiered skirt inspired by English rose petals. (For $120, it could be yours. I found the adorable all-white number for sale on their website.)

According to the Sunday Times, companies such as Nike have spent over $7 millionto dress female athletes during this tournament.

What do you think? Do you watch the game for the outfits, or the talent--or both?
