Maria Sharapova is indeed one beautiful lady. One look at her, and you forget that the blonde stunner is a professional tennis player. Her features, slim frame, and height are enough to pass her off as a Nordic runway model.

Although we mostly see her in tennis gear, the Russian beauty was spotted looking all glammed up while attending the WTA Tour Pre-Wimbledon Party in June 2011.
Channeling minimalist chic, Sharapova graced the event in a stark Alexander McQueen dress—the clean lines paired perfectly with a satin clutch from the same designer, creating a cohesive statement.
Black booties added an edgy touch, while a Lara Bohinc collar and cuff provided subtle, sculptural accents. A Tom McEwan ring and DDP earrings at Talisman completed the look with a touch of understated shimmer.

Her striking red mini dress with cut-out details on the shoulders highlighted her look, which was complemented by amazingly gorgeous gold accessories, the centerpiece of which was a gold statement necklace.
Below is an enlarged photo of that necklace. The gold piece is from Slovenian-born, London-based designer Lara Bohinc.

If you’re wondering whether this lovely choker is made of real gold, the answer is no. The metal composition is brass, and the one on Maria is simply gold-plated, like the copper version below, which is plated with rose gold.
