You glow, girl.

Maria Sharapova managed to turn some heads away from all the models at Paris Fashion Week.

The retired tennis champ, who has a home in Longboat Key, posted a few glam Instagram snaps in front of the Louvre Museum on Sunday. And she was sporting a way different look than you may recall from her on-court days.

A quick scan of her social media reveals the 36-year-old Russian native’s been brunette for a hot minute— accent on hot.

It’s unclear why Sharapova, who welcomed son Theodore with fiancé Alexander Gilkes last summer, has changed things up, but we are here for it.

With her height, athletic frame and spot-on fashion sense, the five-time Grand Slam champion can really pull off the darker locks, in our humble opinion.

Speaking of famous brunettes, Sharapova hung out in Paris with pop star turned designer Victoria Beckham, who was sporting crutches, thanks to a mishap at the gym.

“Nothing stopping VB,” said the caption of the two of them resembling sisters. “Even a broken foot!”
