Best dressed at the IHG Hotels & Resorts Bristol Open presented by Deep Eddy Vodka

DALLAS, TX – While the men dominated the Best Dressed List in Kansas City, the women stepped up in Bristol.

Quite a few new faces even made the list by sporting some exciting pieces, so let’s dive right in. 

Here are the best dressed players (and kids) at the IHG Hotels & Resorts Bristol Open presented by Deep Eddy Vodka:

This outfit choice from Allyce is really fun. The sleek white tank top paired with the sky blue tennis skirt is a gorgeous pairing, but what really stands out is the pop of color with the orange shoes. And best yet, the shoes have hints of white and blue, which bring the whole look together perfectly.

We have a new FILA fit from the World No. 1. And while she debuted a green two-piece set, I think this cream top and skirt is the winner. The stripe detailing is so cute on the band of the skirt and top. I specifically love the movement of the skirt. It’s pleated, but with a little extra layered flare that is so flattering on the court. 

Kaitlyn Christian

This look is for the sleek and athletic aesthetics. While I generally prefer more feminine fits, I love this look on Kaitlyn. She looks sharp in Lorena leggings and a cool blue fitted tank. And the fact that the shoes, hat, and wristbands are all based on the same color scheme is a nice touch.

Lingwei Kong

I love this look from Lingwei. I’m so intrigued by the texture on her dark green skirt. Paired with a fitted white cropped T-shirt, white visor, and light blue accessories, this outfit just works for me. I definitely want this whole ensemble in my pickleball wardrobe. 

Simone Jardim

I’m a sucker for pink, so of course Simone’s look in mixed doubles caught my attention. She paired a flared tennis skirt with a white and pink tie-dyed tank top that has mesh detailing and ruffles on the sleeve. It’s adorable.

Anna Bright

Anna is quickly becoming a regular on the Best Dressed List. She has some cool colors in her pickleball wardrobe, and I love her in this navy and pink look. Even her blue nail polish is a nice touch. It’s bright, it’s fun, the shoes match, and I appreciate that she rocked her baby pink St. Louis Shock hat throughout the whole tournament. I need one of those hats now! 

Roscoe Bellamy

While a bright red shirt can be tough to pull off, I think Roscoe wears it well. It has interesting striped details on the v-neck and sleeves to add visual interest, and I like it paired with white shorts. Looking at them more closely, though, it’s funny to see those little cutout slits in the front. Is that something new in men’s athletic wear? I'll keep an eye on it.

These adorable youngsters are perfectly dressed to celebrate their mom’s second consecutive singles gold medal and third of the season.

We need to give them a spot on the list.

Nothing like celebratory cupcake sunglasses for the birthday girl. I think every pro should wear a silly little sash or crown if their birthday falls on a tournament day.

Let’s look into adding that into the 2025 Rulebook.
