“I love wearing cool watches and beautiful jewelry,” Aryna Sabalenka declared ahead of her Australian Open return this year in a conversation with Vogue. Like most of the WTA stars, Sabalenka has a deep appreciation for fashion and statement pieces. The Belarusian’s love for jewelry has been making headlines ever since her beloved Georgios Frangulis entered her life in April 2024. Recently, in a Q&A session, the world’s best tennis player paid tribute to her beloved, crediting him as the inspiration behind her apparel collection!

Time and again, Sabalenka has turned heads with her dazzling accessories, and her 2024 U.S. Open semifinal was no exception. During the match, the World No. 1 sported a pair of exquisite Cartier earrings that quickly went viral. Valued at $11,400, these earrings are part of Cartier’s iconic “Juste un Clou collection,” crafted from 18K white gold and encrusted with diamonds, available across Cartier’s U.S. boutiques and online platforms. But that wasn’t all!

Sabalenka also made waves with her Cartier bracelet, further cementing her reputation as a fashion icon in the tennis world. And now we know who is the inspiration behind her ever-growing jewelry collection.

The two-time Australian Open champion recently held a Q&A session on her Instagram, where she playfully invited fans to ask her anything, writing, “Any questions? 🙈😂” in her IG story. While fans were curious about various aspects of her personal life, like how many languages she speaks or what she does with her team after a loss, one question stood out among them: “Where do you buy most of your jewelry? It’s gorgeous!!”  Sabalenka’s response was cheeky: “Thanks to this man @georgiosfrangulis ❤️❤️❤️ We should ask him 💜.”

Sabalenka’s passion for fine jewelry was no secret, even before Georgios Frangulis entered her life. After her Wimbledon 2023 semifinal exit against Ons Jabeur, she turned to Hermès, which is known for its luxurious accessories. “😂😂😂🙈 #shoppingtherapy,” she wrote in her Instagram story back then. And who could forget her stunning ‘Carlton Gardens photoshoot after winning the 2024 Australian Open? The Belarusian dazzled in the “Cartier’s Panthère” collection, wearing yellow gold necklaces valued at whopping $8,450 and $11,000 each.

Recently, in a photo shoot with Flaunt Magazine, Sabalenka again shared her passion for fashion and jewelry, stating, “I’ve always been into fashion. I like to wear cool watches and beautiful jewelry pieces. I follow a lot of fashion influencers and brands, and I like to see what’s coming next. Basically, I like to buy stuff. A lot of stuff.”

Apart from jewelry, there is something else as well which fascinates Sabalenka. What’s that?

Aryna Sabalenka’s love for modeling and photoshoots continues

Remember when Sabalenka won her second AO title in 2024 beating Chinese ace Zheng Qinwen in 76 minutes? Well, that was a fast and furious match, which created a bit of a legacy for Sabalenka. However, apart from her performance, what stood out was her honest expression after the match when she confessed her love for modeling.

“I actually love doing photoshoots. Right now, with the professionals, I feel like I’m doing a terrible job. I think I need to do some classes and learn some stuff about how to pose,” Sabalenka said right after reaching the hotel room for a digital cover shoot with Vogue Australia.

She had previously talked about her modeling dream just after posing in a Dior Bralette in October 2022. “Modelling would be my dream work if no tennis. But tennis is my love forever,” she remarked while replying in an Instagram Q&A.

Even during that photoshoot with Flaunt Magazine, she shared her love for modeling. “When you go for photo shoots you have makeup, you have your hair done, you try different styles. You see yourself from different perspectives. I love it. You forget about your normal life,” she added.

Sabalenka, who recently faced a R16 loss at the Dubai Tennis Championships, is currently going through a bit of a slump in form. Do you think she will be able to bounce back at the Indian Wells?
