At the inauguration of Billie Jean King’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Maria Sharapova was a towering sight. King was the first woman to be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame under the new sports entertainment category, and the retired tennis player joined other sports and entertainment legends in honoring her.
Sharapova attended the ceremony with a number of infamous celebrities, like as Magic Johnson and Jaime Lee Curtis. Her brunette hair was styled straight and hung below her shoulders, and she was wearing a maroon maxi dress.
Sharapova’s striking physique, which is comparable to Johnson’s well-known height, was displayed in the pictures.
In a succinct statement, Johnson talked about his relationship with King and the reasons behind his admiration for her. He remarked, “You always stand up for what’s right.” “In order to effect change, you donate your time, money, voice, and platform.”
King highlighted the historic nature of the accolade in her statement, expressing her pride at being the first female recipient in the sports entertainment category. She stated, “The most important thing is that I don’t want to be the last one.”

Following the ceremony, Sharapova posted some images and videos of King’s event to her social media accounts, writing, “Celebrating the one and only @billiejeanking.” She also posted a selfie with King, writing, “Thank you for being you!! @billiejeanking.” As one of the greatest tennis legends of all time, Maria Sharapova is a five-time Grand Slam champion, an Olympic champion, and the top player in the WTA rankings at the height of her career.
