The WTA's stars took over Kensington Gardens for the tour's annual pre-Wimbledon party on Thursday night in London.

Serena Williams arrived with coach/confidant Patrick Mouratoglou, while Maria Sharapova hit the pink carpet without boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov and dazzled in a classy Burberry dress. Victoria Azarenka, Ana Ivanovic, Agnieszka Radwanska, Sloane Stephens and Laura Robson were among the other players who attended.

But it was Bethanie Mattek-Sands who stole the show. The always fashion-daring American showed up in a simple white dress accessorized with Google Glass and her new, multicolored neon hair. Well, that's one way to get around the whole "predominantly white" fashion rules at Wimbledon.

After the jump, check out some pictures of players arriving at the party.

Sloane Stephens: It's a good thing they had this party Thursday night, because Stephens might not be smiling as wide after seeing she was drawn Friday morning to face Jamie Hampton in the first round. (Ian Gavan/Getty Images)
