Venus, who has studied fashion design university in Florida, was a little more coy when it came to describing her new look.
The Wimbledon and US Open champion struggled through her first round match at the Australian Open against Spanish qualifier Maria Jose Martinez 6-3 2-6 6-0.
But the number three seed guaranteed a healthy quota of media coverage by wearing a low-cut, blue and black combination which drew gasps from the crowd at Melbourne Park.
Venus, who has studied fashion design university in Florida, was a little more coy when it came to describing her new look.
"I think you'll do a better job than I would," she told reporters admiring the outfit which was complemented by two gold earrings in each ear, a golf-style visor and a choker.
Not to be outdone - or outshone - Martina Hingis sported her own unique look for her 6-1 6-1 demolition of Hungary's Katalin Marosi-Aracama.
The world number one wore a white top with one long and one short sleeve which she claims aids her service action.
France's Mary Pierce also made a fashion statement, wearing a 1970s-style pink and white creation for her first round 6-1 6-3 victory over Sylvia Plischke.
The 1995 Australian Open champion said: "I think it's great to see everybody really getting into what they're wearing and getting involved in design and fashion and colour."
