Veronica Beard Teams Up With Head Sportswear on an Exclusive Tennis Collection

Whether you’re on the court or watching from the sidelines, there’s something transfixing about the sight of a tennis ball slicing through the air—driven by a perfect blend of power and grace. That moment becomes even more vivid when you’re fully equipped for the occasion.

Veronica Beard understands the power of looking the part—and feeling confident while doing it. Whether you’re in the boardroom, running errands, or powering through a high-speed rally, what you wear can shape your day-to-day. Just in time for summer, the brand has partnered with Head Sportswear to launch a chic, limited-edition capsule collection of tennis apparel and activewear.

NCAA tennis champion and content creator Ayan Broomfield, who stars in the campaign for the capsule, knows firsthand the impact of style on performance. “After playing tennis for over 20 years, I’ve definitely learned how to find confidence on and off the court with my style,” she tells ELLE. “This collection encapsulates that, and I hope that anyone who wears these pieces feels the same way. I always use the motto: Look good, feel good, play good. I’m such a huge believer that what you wear impacts how you feel. You can take that from being on the court, but also incorporate it into your daily life.”

Priced between $80 and $298, the collection includes six thoughtfully designed pieces: a sleek tennis dress (a standout for Broomfield), a versatile skort, a classic tank top, a coordinated sports bra and leggings set, and a lightweight track jacket ideal for warmups. “Tennis dresses are such a staple,” Broomfield says. “But this one in particular is sporty, feminine, and feels amazing to wear. I can throw it on with sneakers or style it with a jacket—it transitions seamlessly from day to night. It’s definitely my favorite piece.”

It’s no surprise that function and versatility are central to Broomfield’s approach to fashion. As an athlete, social media personality, and philanthropist—while also traveling the globe to support her longtime partner, pro tennis star Frances Tiafoe—she leads a fast-paced, multifaceted life. “My number one priority is always finding that balance between function and fashion,” she says. “This collection lets me move freely while still feeling stylish.”

For Broomfield, functional fashion is more than practicality—it’s a form of self-expression. “I remember going to the US Open and seeing the Williams sisters, especially Serena. Her outfits were so out-there and screamed personality and confidence,” she recalls. “In other sports, athletes wear jerseys; it’s a team thing. Tennis is so individual, and that gives you the freedom to really express who you are through what you wear.”
