Fresh off defending her US Open title, Sabalenka wasn’t ready for the celebration to end at Flushing Meadows. The Belarusian lit up Stella Artois’ star-studded Let’s Do Dinner event, arriving in a chic black dress and her trademark radiant smile.

The pictures captured how such evenings strengthen players’ bonds and camaraderie beyond the court. Five-time Grand Slam champion Sharapova also radiated the same joy as she connected with high-profile personalities from different domains at the gathering.
What Made Maria Sharapova’s Night at the New York Event So Special?
Joy was unmistakable as the Belgian beer brand brought its vibrant showcase of modern sophistication to New York. Among those reveling in the evening was Sharapova, who radiated elegance in a blue satin midi dress while savoring her beer and posing with notable names such as Beckham, American actress Rachel Brosnahan and fellow tennis star Tiafoe.
Beyond the glamorous photos, Sharapova revealed other highlights that made the evening memorable, as she shared in her captions. Sharapova noted how the evening included quirky moments such as eating a hamburger with a knife and fork and being entertained by a mentalist who wowed guests with mind-reading tricks.
“Thank you for hosting the perfect evening, @stellaartois!! It included eating a hamburger with knife and fork, a mentalist playing *tricks* on us, and special memories worth cheer(🍻)ing for. Oh, and @davidbeckham reminding me who won the Perfect Serve challenge back in London 🤷♀️,” she wrote.

The former world No. 1 also shared pictures from the event on her Instagram story, posing alongside Sabalenka, Brosnahan and Tiafoe.
For those unfamiliar, the “Perfect Serve Challenge” Sharapova referenced was a playful segment with the football legend during the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. As part of Stella Artois’ signature campaign, the duo showcased the parallels between a flawless tennis serve and the art of pouring the perfect beer.
