It’s unlikely to catch on, but Jennifer Love Hewitt has decided wedge heels and a bikini is the latest tennis fashion. While it’s doubtful Serena Williams or Jelena Jankovic would ever be seen wearing them, Jennifer appears to be under the impression the skimpy outfit improves her performance on the court.
The Ghost Whisperer actress certainly turned heads in Hawaii recently when she snubbed the usual uniform of a white skirt and T-shirt for a black bikini and slingback wedges. While holidaying on the Pacific island with comedian boyfriend Jamie Kennedy, the couple have been keeping fit by participating in various sports.
But the 30-year-old brunette must have decided typical tennis clothes were too hot for the balmy temperatures and decided to keep her cool in a skimpy two-piece. Even more daring was her decision to wear four-inch heels, which would seriously hamper her ability to sprint for the ball.
Standing at just 5’2″, perhaps Jennifer wanted to appear taller next to her 6 ft tall boyfriend.Not only giving extra height, women are fond of high heels because they give the impression of longer legs. Her tennis outfit isn’t the first impractical ensemble she’s worn to play sports. Last week, the I Know What You Did Last Summer star was also spotted playing basketball in a bikini.
While bouncing the ball around the court, Jennifer’s bikini fortunately stayed firmly on despite the vigorous activity. Jennifer and Jamie, 39, started dating in March, two months after the actress called off her engagement to Scottish actor Ross McCall. They recently denied reports Jamie had proposed to Jennifer onstage at one of his stand-up gigs in Long Beach, California.
However, Jamie may not want to wait too long before proposing. In a radio interview last month, Jennifer said: ‘By this time next year, if we’re not planning something, then there’s a situation.’ After being romantically linked to a string of famous men, including John Mayer, Enrique Iglesias and Wilmer Valderrama, Jennifer has decided to share her dating experiences in an upcoming book.
As well as filming her TV show The Ghost Whisperer and recording a country music album, Jennifer is writing a relationship advice book called The Day I Shot Cupid, which is due out next year. She said: ‘I thought it was time to share the real story of what I’ve learned navigating the dating waters. ‘Hopefully, in addition to having a good laugh, women reading this will learn from some of my hard lessons.’
