You won’t catch this gorgeous tennis champ defending her title in any old polo shirt and pleated skirt. For this year’s US Open, Maria Sharapova teamed up with Nike to design three unique and custom-made dresses inspired by her favorite city, New York. The tennis pro unveiled her favorite atomic red shift that includes 600 authentic Swarovski crystals arranged in the inverted skyline of Manhattan around her neckline with the Top of the Rock’s panaromic Manhattan skyline views behind her. Ever the on-court fashionista, she’ll also be sporting a little black dress with a sexy scoop back for evening matches and a simple white dress for day games. The athlete couldn’t be more thrilled about her designs, saying “Nike has always understood my desire to make a big impression in New York, [and] this year is especially exciting because the designs are inspired by the city itself!”

How Naomi Watts Stays Fit While Pregnant

Look at how great Naomi Watts looks strolling through Manhattan yesterday. In this week’s PEOPLE magazine, we learned the secret to her tip-top mom-to-be shape is pilates. But is it okay to tone your core with a baby onboard? Yes, but carefully, says Daniel Loigerot of DL Fit Pilates in New York City, who works with Naomi Watts. The actress, 38, who is expecting a baby with boyfriend Liev Schreiber in July, has kept twice-weekly sessions-even continuing to use the intimidating Reformer apparatus. "I customized a program for her," says Loigerot, who accommodates Watts’s growing bump by having her work on her side, on all fours or propped up with pillows. Before starting your own routine, check with a doctor. Loigerot offers a few tips:

Avoid exercising on your back after the second trimester. "Baby weight can compress blood vessels in the abdomen." Instead, lie on your side, sit or stand.

Don’t overstretch. "When you’re pregnant, your muscles get looser, so joint stability decreases and you can pinch a nerve."

Breathe. Getting oxygen to muscles is key, he says. "You’re breathing for two now."
