Lea Pericoli became so well-known for her on-court fashion she wouldn’t let anyone see her until she got on the court. One of her most famous outfits was the tutu seen above. She debuted the Teddy Tinling designed outfit in 1964.

One year later Pericoli chose her outfit herself, wearing a rose trimmed skirt also designed by Tinling. After her tennis career ended, she became a popular television presenter in Italy. She’s also worked as a journalist and fashion critic.
