Venus Williams. The length of Venus Williams' hemline is inversely proportional to the tennis star's age: as she gets older, the dresses get shorter.

Sporting her most mini-tennis dress yet, the seven-time Grand Slam champion opened play at the 2011 Australian Open on Monday, winning decisively in straight sets. The quick 6-3, 6-2 victory over Sara Errani was especially nice because it allowed us to focus on the most important part of the match; that short blue dress.

Though not as campy as her can-can number from last spring nor as flashy as the dress she wore in New York at the U.S. Open, the new self-designed garment sets a new mark in tininess. Even when pulled down all the way, it still barely came down to her thighs.

The illusion when I wear the nude shorts under. But at the last minute I decided.Last year, Williams wore nude shorts under a similar small dress, which caused quote a commotion in the tennis community.
