Aryna Sabalenka wore a veil and tossed a bouquet while practicing during the BNP Paribas Open.

In photos taken on Wednesday, March 11, the tennis star paired her tulle headpiece and flowers with a black Nike tank and shorts.

Sabalenka revealed her engagement to entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis last week.

Aryna Sabalenka announced her engagement to Georgios Frangulis a week ago, but she's already preparing to walk down the aisle. On Wednesday, the athlete was spotted wearing a veil and tossing a bouquet.

As she warmed up for a practice match during the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, Sabalenka tried on the tulle headpiece for size. She was also photographed throwing the small bunch of flowers over her head. Her fiancé eventually put the veil on himself, layering it on top of a baseball cap.

Sabalenka wore a black Nike tank emblazoned with the brand's signature swoosh logo. She added on matching athletic shorts and a white sports bra.

The tennis champion and Frangulis, an entrepreneur, announced their engagement on March 4 with a series of sweet Instagram portaits.

"I can finally call him something else… FIANCÉ," Sabalenka wrote in the caption of the couple's joint post.

In her engagement photos, Sabalenka sported a white tank and low-rise jeans while showcasing her stunning 12-carat diamond ring.

According to The Daily Mail, the ring was designed by Isabela Grutman, who worked with Frangulis for months to create the custom sparkler. Set it platinum, it features an oval-cut center stone flanked by tiny emeralds, per People.

Experts recently told InStyle that Sabalenka’s ring could be worth up to $1 million.

“The brand curves inward with micro-pavé diamonds and a sculptural precision that feels both architectural and fluid,” said Pamela Catlett, chief brand officer at Brilliant Earth. “A natural stone of this size and quality could be valued at $1 million.”

Olivia Landau, founder and chief executive officer of The Clear Cut, made a similar estimate, placing its value between $500,000 and $1 million.

“It is the perfect combination of traditional and modern,” she told InStyle. “The classic pavé solitaire leans into modern trends with its subtle curved band detail and the hidden pop of green.”
