The 26-year-old Bouchard has previously dressed as Pamela Anderson from Baywatch in 2017, and ‘naked Kim Kardashian’ in 2016.
Bouchard has risen to World No.168 following a stunning resurgence in recent months.
After bursting onto the tennis scene in 2014 and rising as high as World No.5, she’s struggled for consistency and plummeted down the rankings in recent years.
She fell way down into the 300s at one stage, but has managed to fight her way back and was granted a wildcard to play in the French Open last month.
After two victories she fell to Polish teen sensation Iga Swiatek in the third round, who went on to claim the title for her maiden grand slam triumph.

If there’s one thing fans are more interested in than Bouchard’s tennis career, it would have to be her love life.
And it appears as though the Canadian star has a new boyfriend.
According to TMZ, Bouchard has been dating Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph.
“A source close to the couple tells us the two began a romantic fling recently, and have gotten pretty serious,” the publication reported.
The 26-year-old posted a photo at a Pittsburgh restaurant recently, with Rudolph among those to ‘like’ the post.
She also posted a photo watching from the stands at a Steelers game recently.

Earlier this year Bouchard sent fans into a frenzy with a tweet about her relationship status.
In March she said she was sick of being in quarantine amid the coronavirus crisis and declared it would be a lot more fun with a boyfriend.
“Not complaining, but i feel like quarantine would be a lot more fun with a boyfriend,” she wrote.
Bouchard was flooded with replies, even getting one from Aussie tennis bad-boy Nick Kyrgios.
In May she raised AU$133,000 for charity after a fan forked out for a dinner date with her.
