All eyes should have been on Andy Murray as he continues his Australian Open campaign in Melbourne at the first grand slam of the year.
But as h is stylish girlfriend Kim Sears arrived courtside, all swishy hair and doll-like features, it must have been hard for the Oz tennis fans not to be distracted for a moment.
Kim looked ladylike and demure despite the heat, choosing a £109 painterly floral pencil skirt by Ted Baker and blush shift top to support her partner at the second-round match.
Carrying her trusty Mulberry Willow bag - which is still for sale at £1,350 - the 25-year-old artist took her seat at the Rod Laver Arena.
Her make-up was dewy and natural while her glossy hair looked freshly blowdried.
She is supporting her boyfriend of eight years as he hopes to claim the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup for the first time.
Murray made a stunning start at Melbourne Park on Tuesday as he raced past Go Soeda of Japan in just 87 minutes.
Kim wore Ted Baker then too, opting to show off toned, tanned legs in a pair of the designer's shorts as she cheered her partner on in his men's singles match
Loyal Kim was all smiles as she sat with Andy's second biggest fan, his mother Judy. The duo are fiercely supportive of Andy, who is partaking in his second competitive tournament following his back surgery in October.
Andy and Kim were last pictured in public when the tennis ace became an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in October.
While the couple are yet to tie the knot, the Scots tennis star recently revealed he is thinking about having children with Kim, with whom he shares a house with in Oxshott, Surrey.
Murray, 26, reckons he is probably more than halfway through his career and is now beginning to contemplate what to do with his life when he hangs up his racket and quits the pro circuit.
He said: 'I can see myself having a family one day. It is something that I'm starting to think about because Kim and I have been together for eight years.'
In his new book reflecting on his life and career so far, the Wimbledon champion is effusive about his girlfriend, who he first met at the U.S. Open in 2005.
Writing in the book, he said: 'You're in these huge cities meeting new people all the time and it would be easy to get your head turned.
'But Kim's always been there for me. She really cares about me and helps with so many things. She always has. That's why we have such a great relationship.'
The Wimbledon winner admitted the experience of looking after their two dogs - Border terriers Maggie May and Rusty - would stand them in good stead if he and Miss Sears were to start a family.
He said: 'It's not the same as having kids - or at least I don't think it is - but that's sometimes what it feels like.'
As well as bonding over their love of dogs, he said they also share a passion for travel and don't get homesick.
Murray also praised Miss Sears's ability to gauge when he needs company and when he wants to be alone as 'fundamental' to their relationship.
He said: 'Kim sees all of the emotions when I win or lose a match, she can tell how I'm really feeling.'
After banking nearly £20million in prize money, Murray admits to feeling 'vulnerable' when bombarded by people wanting to do deals, so he relies on 'savvy' Miss Sears to spot those trying to leech on to him.
Murray is playing well in Melbourne so far and could take on Auckland winner John Isner in the fourth round, Roger Federer or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarter-finals and the world number one Nadal in the last four.
