Aliya Mustafina might be out of commission while rehabbing her torn ACL, but the reigning World champion has found time for a photo shoot or two.
Mustafina is elegance personified in recently published shots from Russian magazine Prosports. (Here's the gallery.) Her Grecian-inspired flowy dresses instantly bring to mind another Russian -- 2008 Olympic champion Nastia Liukin (who else?) -- who posed for the spring/summer 2009 BCBG Max Azria line in similiar silhouettes.
