    Marta Kostyuk’s bridal era continues at Wimbledon.

    For this year’s tournament, the Ukrainian tennis pro is wearing a Wilson look inspired by her wedding dress, which the label created for her November 2023 nuptials to her partner, Heorhii.

    The piece, which boasts a plunging V-neck and a cutout back, was first seen on Kostyuk, 22, at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Monday during her opening-round win against Slovakia’s
    Rebecca Šramková.

    Kostyuk, ranked No. 18 in the world, also wore the style Thursday during her second-round victory over Australia’s Daria Saville.

    “I think after Wimbledon is over, I will put this dress in a frame and hang it on the wall somewhere. It definitely will be one of the highlights of my life and my career. I mean what else can you ask for?” Kostyuk said , according to Wilson’s Instagram page.

    Currently available on Wilson.com, the “Marta Dress” is also styled with an overlay with buttons — an element taken from her big day last fall.

    “The initial plan was for one longish dress, kind of plain, but while we were doing the fittings, we decided that it would be cool to have two dresses: one just for the ceremony and another one for the after-party, for the dinner—something more easy, more comfortable,” Kostyuk recently told Vogue of the wedding dress design process with Joelle Michaeloff, who is Wilson’s head of design.

    “So we agreed that the overdress for the ceremony would be long and covered in flowers, but still a little see-through, and the second dress was the same underdress, but with a plain, short, sheer white overdress.”

    Michaeloff, who said the piece is “one of the most technical wedding dresses ever made,” elaborated to Vogue about Kostyuk’s Wimbledon look.

    “We kept the mini-overlayer dress, which buttons off,” she said. “Her walkout will be with all the layers, and then she’ll remove this over-dress, which is exactly like the wedding dress in that there’s the five buttons down the front; I’ve made her a quick-release option so she can take it off fast. What’s underneath is basically the original dress, but with a built-in ball short in this one.”

    The 18th-seeded Kostyuk will next face American Madison Keys, the No. 12 seed, in the third round Friday.
