American designer, Betsey Johnson, had no idea who Maria Sharapova was, when she attended a charity fashion show hosted by her.
The 72-year-old designer attended Fashion Targets Breast Cancer at the New Museum and was heard asking who the star was when an organizer grabbed her to take a photo with Sharapova, the New York Post reported.
