Althea Gibson 5 Top Pictures
Althea Gibson brought grace, dignity and power to the world of tennis in the 1950's. She intimidated opponents with her powerful serve, pinpoint volleys and thundering overhead. But she is best remembered for having the courage to take on major tennis' all-white establishment. Gibson was a pioneer who broke several racial barriers in the sport and paved the way for future stars such as Arthur Ashe, Zina Garrison, and Venus and Serena Williams. The first African-American to win the Wimbledon singles title (she did it twice, in 1957 and 1958), she also won the French Open and U.S. Open singles titles.

Camilla Belle is turning heads in the fashion scene
Current Joe Jonas main squeeze, Camilla Belle is turning heads in the fashion scene with her trademark dark, defined eyebrows and her flawless Brazilian features (all thanks to her mother’s Portuguese background).
Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Camilla Belle Routh learned to speak both English and Portuguese in her household. While she may have a natural talent for acting, it’s not as much of a shocker to learn that her style most definitely is influenced by her fashion designer mother.
Take a cue from this Brazilian beauty.

Runway: Balmain
For those who never heard of Balmain:
Pierre Balmain founded his exquisite namesake Parisian fashion house in 1945, dressing the likes of Ava Gardner and Brigitte Bardot.
After his death in 1982, a slew of designers took the helm including Oscar de la Renta, and now it's the turn of elegant French designer Christophe Decarnin.
Bringing a distinctly modern vibe to the label, the fashion pack are hankering after his crystal-embellished drummer boy jackets, super-skinny acid wash denim and studded high-waisted mini skirts.
