Sharapova looks sharp in corset dress
July 12, 2007 
Tennis ace Maria Sharapova turned up to collect a sports award in Los Angles in a corset-style dress.
Voted best international female athlete at this year's ESPY awards, she has also been voted Wimbledon's sexiest female tennis player, and her corseted dress revealed why.
On the red carpet Ms Sharapova paraded and posed for cameras in a tight black leather dress with a corset-style bodice studded with metal buttons.
The 20-year-old is currently the world number two in female tennis, although she was number one priority with photographers at the awards, which have always been a fusion of serious sporting achievement and celebrity.
This year's event took place at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles and was jointly compered by basketball player LeBron James and comedian Jimmy Kimmel.
Although Ms Sharapova looked in fine form at the awards, she pulled out of the Russian team for the weekend's Fed Cup semi-final against the US, meaning she may not be as fit as she looked in her corset dress that evening.
