MARIA SHARAPOVA has shown off a stunning new look at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The former Wimbledon champion looked unrecognisable as she posed in an elegant leather outfit.
Sharapova showed off her burgundy clothing choice on Instagram after attending practice ahead of Sunday's F1 race.
She soaked up the sun as she posed on a balcony, wore a headset and took a selfie in a window.
The tennis icon also sported a change from the blonde hair of her playing days with a darker look as she smiled in a pair of sunglasses.
As well as the snaps, Sharapova also filmed a pit change in the paddock during practice.
In the caption, she wrote: "Not my typical weekend of very fancy and very fast cars. Slide 4. Expectations for my next tire change back home."
