Fantastic night for the opening of the US Open 2011.   It runs from August 29th to September 11th and is our absolute favorite event in the city.   Not all the action is on center court as fashion watching is very much in Vogue at the Open.  Just ask Anna Wintour, who never misses a match, when her great pal Roger Federer is swinging his racquet.  Speaking of fashion, Venus Williams has never looked more chic on the court.  Sporting her label, ELEVEN  by Venus Williams, in this perfect tennis Little Black Dress with the inset lace paneled back and the exposed pink satin zipper, and pale pink bloomers to match – she was positively demure!

Anna is always looking like a winner.

For what to wear to the tennis event of the year, we went shopping at SAKS.com for these iconic Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Dresses in all the new patterns for the fall season.  You can live in these dresses from now until well in to the fall and beyond.   If you don’t have one hanging in your closet, now is the time.   It’s a fabulous transitional piece for travel, to work, out to dinner . . . you just can’t go wrong!
