Her most celebrated match was at the Houston Astrodome on September 20, 1973, when she and former men's champion Bobby Riggs, famous for mocking women's sports, faced off in what the media called the "Battle of the Sexes." Forty million people tuned in to watch King slam Riggs in three straight sets, while wearing this tennis dress. The dress was designed by Teddy Tinling. It was the designers back up dress. When King tried on his original design, they realized it wouldn’t work for King to wear while playing. Tinling added rhinestones and sequins to the dress for it to better stand out under the Astrodome’s stadium lights. #SmithsonianPride #Pride #Pride2019 #Stonewall50 #BecauseOfHerStory #WomensHistory #SportsHistory #EntertainmentHistory #Tennis #TennisHistory #BillieJeanKing #BattleOfTheSexes #CostumeHistory #VintageClothing」6月26日 0時16分
