If Maria Sharapova's nearly two decades in professional tennis could be summed up in a T-shirt, it might read: "Shriek, But Make It Fashion."

From front rows at runway shows to painting lines inside tennis courts, her interests have spanned the globe. And more so than other players before or since, her style game has nearly matched her elite levels of on-court prowess and determination.

Brands and designers who Sharapova has collaborated with over time make for an exhaustive roster: Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren, Valentino, Chloe, Cole Haan, Zac Posen, and a litany of others.

The 32-year-old Russian certainly made a habit of winning, and she also seemingly made a habit of not wearing the same outfit twice.

Perhaps she saluted her soon-to-end tennis career in early February, taking a wardrobe note from Lizzo and sporting a tennis ball–colored Valentino dress to Vanity Fair's legendary Oscars afterparty. In tribute to Sharapova's status as the sport's No. 1 clotheshorse, here's a countdown of her 10 best off-court looks, in no particular order:
