Jelena Dokic put on a glamorous display as she attended the premiere of her new tell-all documentary on Sunday night.
The Aussie tennis champion, 41, took to Instagram to give an insight into her night at the premiere of her new documentary, titled Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story.
For the occasion, Jelena showed off her incredible figure in a vibrant pink dress with puffed sleeves and embellished with sparkling pink floral patterns.
She gave herself a few extra inches in a pair of silver strapped heels and swept her brunette tresses back into a curled up-do.
The sports commentator accentuated her stunning features with a high-glamour make-up palette and a slick of bold pink lipstick to complete her look.
She posed with stars including The Block’s Eliza and Liberty as her famous friends flocked around to support her on her big night.
Jelena’s new documentary, which was released on November 7, sees her delve into the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father Damir during her tennis career.
The tell-all program follows her autobiography of the same name, which was released in 2017.

In recent days, Jelena also opened up about her recent weight loss and her struggles with low self-esteem over the years.
In a powerful Instagram post last month, Jelena shared images of herself in both 2016 and 2024 as she reflected on her mental health struggles.
She revealed that though she is the same size in both pictures, the major difference came down to ‘self-confidence’.
She admitted that back in 2016, she would ‘hide’ in men’s clothing because of crippling self-doubt.
‘I always dressed in black. Fully black or dark grey. I wore men’s clothing. Men’s shirts,’ she penned in a long caption.
‘I didn’t think I was good enough to wear something nice, colour, women’s clothing, dresses or heels.
‘Imagine having such low self esteem and self worth that you wear men’s clothing.’

She signed off with a message of encouragement for her fans, writing: ‘Never hide, always stand tall, be proud and hold your head up high.’
Jelena was born in Yugoslavia and her family moved to Australia when she was 11 years old, where she started to pursue tennis.
Her career peaked when she made the Wimbledon quarter finals in 1999 and semi finals in 2000, followed by the 2002 French Open quarter finals.
However, she was also suffering from shocking abuse from her father Damir during her time as a young tennis player.
In her new documentary, Jelena recalled how felt pressure to win because Damir would inflict regular beatings on her.
‘I knew if I lost the consequences were catastrophic,’ she said while watching footage of herself play tennis.

‘One day after I lost I knew what was going to happen… I was starting to feel really broken inside.
‘There was not an inch of skin that wasn’t bruised. I’m 17 and through his actions, [I] became the most hated person.’
Jelena also revealed she doesn’t ‘hate’ her father for the abuse she suffered, though she cannot forgive him for his actions.
‘I don’t blame anyone. I don’t resent anyone. I definitely don’t hate anyone, never would,’ Jelena told the Daily Telegraph.
‘I’m not bitter about it. Even to my father, which people find surprising. But I don’t hate him. I don’t necessarily forgive him, but I don’t hate him.’
