In photos: What to wear when celebrating hot tennis-playing boyfriends, drunk brides and equality for all
There's been a lot to celebrate lately, from Stanley Cup championships to mega music festivals to landmark rulings on gay rights. Here's what some people wore to mark those occasions.

Sharapova, of course, was not celebrating the breezy first-round victory by this woman, tennis rival and World No. 1 seed Serena Williams, who kicked off Wimbledon week with a nice scandal involving some choice words for Sharapova’s boyfriend, Dimitrov, who just happens to be Williams’ ex. Sharapova fired back, essentially calling Williams a homewrecker, thus setting up a potentially great-for-gossip Wimbledon final. Too bad Sharapova lost in the first first round (the slippery grass was a problem for her as well).STEFAN WERMUTH/Reuters
