Emma
Raducanu participated in the Dior Cruise 2024 beauty parade in Mexico City
recently.
Since her
incredible journey to win the 2021 US Open, Raducanu has not only become a
tennis superstar but also a perfect advertising figure and an icon on runways
and fashion events.
A wrist
injury has kept her out of the tour as she recently underwent surgery. However,
the British player appeared at the Dior Cruise 2024 event by the French luxury
brand Dior, where they presented the autumn 2023 collection.
Raducanu
walked the red carpet wearing a black ensemble inspired by India from Dior and
had no issue showcasing the cast she is wearing due to the injury.
“Just saw
the show here in Mexico City, and it was stunning and it was a really nice
thing to be a part of," former world No. 10 said.
The
20-year-old star recently expressed how challenging it has been to deal with
injuries over the past year. In 2023, she has only been able to participate in
six tournaments, without achieving significant results. However, she highlights
that she reached the round of 16 at the BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells, where
she was defeated by the world No. 1, Iga Swiatek.
