Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka went braless in a daring outfit as she stole the show on the red carpet at a glitzy awards night.

The current world No.1 attended the swanky Laureus World Sports Awards at Cibeles Palace in Madrid at the weekend, and she firmly made her mark. Sabalenka was joined on the red carpet by the likes of Lamine Yamal, Simeone Biles, and Carlos Alcaraz, while Lando Norris and Rory McIlory joined via web feed to collect their awards.

Sabalenka collected the award for Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year wearing a dashing long, sleeveless, sequined dress; however, the 27-year-old Belarusian ditched her bra as she braved the elements.

The tennis star is also fondly known by her fans for her daring outfits and snaps away from the court as well with her regularly posting eye-catching pictures to her 5million followers on Instagram.

Sabalenka has also dipped her toes into the professional photoshoot world after she recently appeared on the cover of Esquire.

The four-time Grand Slam singles winner remarkably claimed that she would be a model if she wasnt a tennis superstar when asked what her career would be if she never picked up a racket.

"Boxing or maybe modelling. Maybe model size plus. I would be good," she said. "Until the end of my life, Ill have to do something where Im that aggressive - maybe boxing - because I feel like Im balancing these two personalities really well.

"On the court, Im quite aggressive, quite emotional, which I need to be to pull out my best tennis. Off the court, Im a completely different person."

Sabalenka is never usually left speechless but she was almost lost for words when she collected her award having won the US Open and retained her top spot in the world rankings for the entire 52 weeks in 2025.

After receiving her award, she said: "When I see the list of winners from previous years, it makes me feel a little bit crazy to know that my name is going to be next to those legends -- those athletes that I watched, I looked up to -- but also, a little bit emotional ... and speechless right now. This is big.

"In all the sports, there are so many great strong, powering, inspiring women who do incredible, inspiring things, and to receive this award means a lot."
