Live mannequin maybe a thing of the past but Maria Sharapova still pull the crowd by posing in the window of a luxury department store in London, Liberty.
Perhaps she's on the phone with Charlie Ebersol... or Dad.
Wearing a white V-necked jumpsuit and a pair of brown high heels at the central London store, the former Wimbledon champion met and chatted with the winning students of London College of Fashion.
The winner shakes hand with the tennis fashionista.
The winning 'blinking' dress. Chic and sweet!
The Asian girl is probably intimidated by Sharapova.
Coming back to tennis, the Wimbledon seedings were announced yesterday and Sharapova who is currently ranked at no. 59 is in the 24th seeded position.

Q: Why do you wear socks with pom-pom on it when you play tennis ? Maria Kirilenko: This beautiful design of my socks is made by Adidas Stella McCartney. I like it, that is why I play with it!
I guess Kirilenko will not be wearing those pom-pom socks again.
Adidas by Stella McCartney has just dropped her from their tennis clothing line.
She'll be replaced by Danish teen tennis sensation Caroline Wozniacki, who will be the only player to wear Adidas Stella McCartney label at the 2009 US Open.
The Frenchman is fast gaining popularity including in Asia.
I've been seeing him on ACE, an Asian-based tennis magazine show on ESPN Star Sports countless times this year due to request from fans.
And speaking of ACE, if you have any questions for your favourite players, you can forward them to the host Georgina Chang or producer of the show at ace@espnstar.com as they will be covering the Wimbledon tennis tournament LIVE next week.
