Tennis players are international icons, and Aryna Sabalenka and Lorenzo Musetti proved that to be true in a big way at the recent Vogue World Milano fashion show.
Sabalenka, the 28-year-old Belarusian, went solo down the runway while Musetti, the 24-year-old Italian, accompanied the one and only Jennifer Lopez.
Both did not look like being professional tennis players was their first profession. They fit the part of the glitzy, glamorous modeling scene. This is yet another example of this generation’s tennis stars developing interests and side careers outside of tennis while they are still active players.

Sabalenka shines
WTA World No. 2 Sabalenka did not look like her angry and frustrated self we last saw at the US Open final.
She looked divine in a turtleneck sequined dress. Perhaps she is doing double duty, modeling and gathering fashion ideas for her wedding scheduled to happen in September 2027 after the US Open.

Musetti was pure perfection with JLo
Musetti was the suave Italian who maneuvered JLo down the runway with polished perfection.
It was truly a sight to behold.
Sabalenka will soon be back on the tennis court competing at the WTA 1000 2026 China Open beginning September 30.
Musetti will be at the 2026 Japan Open, an ATP 500 tournament, also beginning September 30.
