Iga Swiatek has expressed her wish to copy Shania Twain’s look, from the 1998 hit single ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’ video, for Halloween.
Currently, Swiatek is in Cancun, Mexico, for the 2023 WTA Finals. She has been drawn into the Chetumal Group alongside Coco Gauff, Ons Jabeur, and Marketa Vondrousova. She is scheduled to start her campaign against the reigning Wimbledon champion Vondrousova on Monday, October 30.
The other WTA Finals quartet, the Bacalar Group, will witness Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula, and Maria Sakkari take on one another for the two semifinal berths up for grabs.
Ahead of the competition, Iga Swiatek addressed a press conference in which she talked about her probable Halloween costume among several other things. She chose Shania Twain’s iconic leopard-themed outfit, however, unsure about what animal the garb was associated with.
“We don’t have such a huge tradition of Halloween in Europe like in the US. I would love to dress [like] Shania Twain, that panther look. That would be my dream. Did I say right, panther? Right, sorry. I don’t know about these big jungle cats,” Swiatek said.
Halloween will be celebrated on Tuesday, October 31, and the 22-year-old is listed against Coco Gauff for her second group-stage encounter the same day.
“But I don’t know if I’m going to have an opportunity because here, yeah, people dress up as well. I’m not prepared. I was more focused on yesterday’s gala than Halloween. I’m going to change that for sure in future years,” Iga Swiatek added.
