Considering the way they have been depicted by the media, you might already be aware of how many stereotypes there are about athletes. They already have to contend with the dumb jock misconception, but female athletes are generally thought to be less feminine as well.

On the red carpet, you will soon find out that these ladies are just as womanly as all the others out there. We want you to see just how lovely they look when they dress up for some fancy event. You will see that a woman can have beauty, brawn, and brains all at the same time! Trust us, some of these photos will blow you away.
Maria Sharapova
Even though it has been nearly a decade since the 2011 ESPY Awards, we simply cannot move on from how gorgeous Maria Sharapova was on that specific night. The tennis icon looked memorable in her avant-garde gown on that night. She sported a casual yet sophisticated skirt with frills and gold embellishments. We love the fact that it was classy but still showed off her toned legs. What has she been up to lately? Well, the sports queen has actually been busy running a candy company of her own. It is called Sugarpova!
