Jelena Dokic has been exuding happiness having celebrated a year of being with her boyfriend and “favourite person” Yane Veselinov , and now social media fans have declared the former tennis star “stunning” as she experiments with an array of bold new looks.
The 43-year-old has been stepping out in a selection of vibrant outfits in recent months – having worked to get “healthier and fitter” after turning 40.
And while the star remains committed to telling it like it is on social media – speaking openly about her struggles as well as her successes – her striking outfit choices have caused quite a stir with those following her online.
It all started back in January, when Jelena announced she was partnering with Australian fashion label Motto – a brand founded in Melbourne in the mid 1980s with the aim of empowering women through bold and confident style.
“This partnership is very special to me because it aligns with all of my values and everything I believe in,” Jelena, who loves the “real life wearability” of the brand, said at the time.
“From resilience to showing up as who you are, empowerment, confidence, strength, inclusivity, perseverance, authenticity, feeling comfortable in your own skin, clothing and a range for everybody.”
Since then, Jelena has been pictured in a range of the brand’s designs – rocking Motto’s viral faux leather Miracle Skirt in two gorgeous colours – Mahogany and Deep Red in April 2026 – and pairing each look with its Sisca Blazer.
“Looking lovely Jelena. Suits you so well,” one fan declared after seeing the ensemble.
“Mahogany looks so good on you!” another added.
The Miracle collection is popular with shoppers for a reason. The sizing runs from eight to 20 and each piece has strategic seam placement that works with the body to contour and shape without digging or squeezing.
Body confidence, no matter your size, is a subject close to Jelena’s heart. The star was forced to speak out after being trolled for losing 20 kilos in 2024.
“I had some health issues but also I just wanted to get healthier and fitter and when I turned 40 last year, I really started to think about my family history of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems,” the star wrote in an Instagram post in June 2024.
“Also, my work has increased dramatically and I needed to be fitter both physically and mentally and have more energy.
“I didn’t have enough energy especially mentally to keep up. I needed to eat healthier to achieve that. So, I didn’t focus on weight so much but just making better choices to feel my best.
“With that the weight started coming off.”

The star has since been candid about how she still struggles to prioritise her health and finds discussion about her weight frustrating.
“I have always been proud of myself no matter what size I was. I have personally never felt ashamed of myself even when I was a size 22 but others made me feel judged and like I should be ashamed,” the star wrote in a passionate Instagram post in March 2026.
“Family, friends, people around us, strangers and society has a way of making us feel terrible if we are not a certain size or if we don’t fit a certain mould.
“But just know that your worth is not defined by your size. You are worthy no matter what size you are.”
The star proved her point when she modelled for Motto’s sellout Movement collection in April 2026.
This collection features a range of suits, blazers, skirts, dresses, tops and jackets that can be worn from office to cocktail bar, in comfort.
Structure is balanced with softness to support women but not restrict them, and the result is a functional yet stylish look.

“Stunning,” one fan wrote simply.
“Sporty yet cute,” another chimed in.
“Wow Jelena looks amazing. She is my height so great for me to see how it sits on taller ladies,” another added.
“Funky boots would look great with this outfit,” a third wrote, to which Jelena herself replied, “Yes there are a list of options that could work including boots.”
The Movement collection was Jelena’s first collaboration with Motto and it proved a huge hit.
“What a success it’s been,” the star wrote in April. “Our first collection together and it was absolutely incredible.
“We sold out over and over again.”
