TENNIS star Eugenie Bouchard wowed in a white cut-out dress as she attended businessman Michael Rubin’s party.
The Canadian, 29, failed to make it through to Wimbledon’s main draw after losing her qualifier 6-4 7-5 to Belgian Greet Minnen last week.

And she wasted little time leaving the UK as she jetted off to a party in New York hosted by Fanatics CEO Rubin, 50.
The 2014 Wimbledon finalist shared pictures of her dressed all in white – much like the A-List stars in attendance.
They included footballer Kylian Mbappe, reality star Kim Kardashian, NBA superstars Joel Embiid and James Harden, and British actor James Corden.
And she added the Instagram caption: “Michael did it again! Hottest party of the year!!!
“What an amazing time with an amazing group of people @michaelrubin.”
Many of Bouchard‘s 2.4 million followers were quick to praise her look for the occasion.
One said: “Genie Bouchard, hottest tennis player of all time.”
Another added: “You look good .”
While a third replied: “Stunning . Love the beautiful outfit!”

But others were quick to point out she was attending an all-white themed party while Wimbledon – which insists all players must wear white on the court – takes place without her.
One person raised the point, saying: “The hottest party of the year is that other all white event currently taking place at Wimbledon. You could have had a ticket to that one.”
A second then chimed in by adding: “Isn’t there another venue with an all white dress code you should be at?”
And another cuttingly replied: “If she wants to go to Wimbledon, she has to purchase a ticket on Ticketmaster.”
Bouchard, who has been plagued by injuries, has not reached the main draw of a Grand Slam since the 2020 French Open when she made it to the third round.
Her peak came in 2014 when she got to the last four of both the Australian Open and French Open – as well as finishing runner-up at the All England Club.
But since those highs nearly a decade ago, she has made just one quarter-final appearance across the last nine years.
