Rafael Nadal’s Wife’s Style Spans Chic Bikinis & Thong Sandals to Gowns & Glitter Heels Through the Years
Maria Francisca Perello, wife of Rafael Nadal, has an extensive background in the athletic world — first as a sports marketer in London, and now as the project director for the Rafael Nadal Foundation.
However, alongside that is a sharp sense of personal style that strikes the ideal chord of versatile and chic. From elegant formal pumps to comfy everyday sneakers, we’re taking a look back at Perello’s style growth over the years.
In 2010, Perello was spotted strolling in Manhattan while on a trip with Nadal. A shopping excursion called for a bohemian casual outfit: a green sleeveless top, dark blue jeans and a brown leather reptile-embossed clutch, as well as brown suede boots.
In 2014, Nadal and Perello jetted to Cancun for a beachside vacation. Perello hit the sand in a black bikini with a sporty pink cap, as well as a large beach tote and chic black thong sandals.
