Jelena Dokic had all eyes on her on Monday in a bright red dress.
The Aussie sports commentator and former tennis player took to Instagram to share a candid photo of herself along with a moving caption.
In the picture, Jelena donned a ruby red dress with strappy sleeves and a midi-length skirt as she wore a giant smile in front of an ocean backdrop.
The 42-year-old looked positively glowing as she swept her hair back into a bun while closing her eyes to shield them from the sun.
Jelena, who is currently in Croatia, encouraged her followers to be ‘authentically’ themselves in the caption of the post.

‘Me, free and unapologetically myself,’ she began.
‘Be you. Be unapologetically you. You’ve got one life to live so live it free and be your unapologetic self,’ she went on.
Jelena told her fans to stop worrying about what people think about their body, hair, clothes and what they have, and instead embrace who they are wholly.
‘You can’t let the judgment of others stop you from being yourself. Their judgment says everything about them.
‘But if you allow their judgment to affect you, change you or stop you from being you then you are not yourself anymore.’
She added: ‘You are then just some version of someone everyone else wants you to be. And you will never satisfy everyone anyway.’
The inspiring post comes after Jelena went public with her new boyfriend earlier this month.
The tennis champ has found love again after she was left ‘shattered’ in the aftermath of her split from her long-time boyfriend, Tin Bikic, in 2021.

She revealed last year she was ‘closed off’ after the heartbreaking experience, which was another blow to her heart after the years-long abuse she suffered at the hands of her father, Damir Dokic.
But things are looking up for Jelena after Yane Veselinov captured her heart, with the pair confirming their relationship in a sweet Instagram post.
Jelena gushed over her man in the post, writing: ‘You are my calm, safe, peaceful and happy place. So glad I found you.’
The pair were first spotted cuddling up together at Melbourne Airport in May, with Jelena unable to wipe the grin off her face as she accepted an embrace from Yane.
