Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce dazzles on red carpet at Awards ceremony in Jamaica

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce recently made an appearance at the 63rd RJRGLEANER Sports Foundation Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year awards. She was one of the nominees for the Sportswoman of the Year award.

The Jamaican 10-time World champion Fraser hit the red carpet in a pink side-slit dress. The dress also had a sideways cutout design at the waist from both sides.

Jamaican Gleaner, an English-language leading news source, revealed the look of Fraser for the ceremony on their X (formerly Twitter) handle, stating:

“It's never a dull moment when Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce hits the red carpet. She is a nominee for the Sportswoman of the Year award at the 63rd RJRGLEANER Sports Foundation Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year awards ceremony at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel.”

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce opened her 2023 season at the Jamaican Championships 2023, just one month before the 2023 World Athletics Championships in the women’s 200m where she clocked 22.26s to finish second behind Shericka Jackson.

In June 2023, the five-time Olympic gold medalist launched her 100m season at the Spitzen Leichathletik Luzern in Switzerland, with a time of 10.82s. She then took part at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest where she clinched the bronze medal with a season-best time of 10.77s in the women’s 100m, finishing behind Sha’carri Richarson (10.65s) and Jackson (10.72s).

Despite sustaining a hamstring injury during her second leg, Pryce played a crucial role in Jamaica’s silver-medal victory in the women’s 4 X 100m relay race that clocked 41.21s. Due to the injury, she was forced to conclude her season after the World Athletics Championships.
