The British fashion magazine invited Aryna Sabalenka to the London show of Vogue World. Adorning a body-fitting shimmery tank top with a matching slit skirt, Sabalenka glittered at the event. Wearing similar shiny earrings and flaunting silver sandals, Sabalenka seemed to be in high spirits. Posing alongside her designer, Marco Capaldo, Sabalenka thanked them for a break. She stated, “Had the best time at Vogue World: London tonight! Thank you, Marco Capaldo and 16arlington for the most beautiful look.”
It seems like Sabalenka is finally ready to make her peace with not just the loss but also the unfortunate release of the video of her outburst.
