Pretty (advertisement)
Pretty (or I Feel Pretty) is a television advertisement launched in 2006 by Nike, Inc. to promote its Nike Women brand of sportswear. The 60-second spot was handled by advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy in Portland, Oregon. The advert stars Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova in her first appearance as a spokesperson for the brand. Pretty debuted on U.S. television on August 20, 2006, with later appearances in cinemas and in print advertisements. It was directed by Czech director Ivan Zacharias, with post-production and VFX work by The Mill.
The piece was a critical and popular success. It garnered several prestigious awards from the advertising and television industries, including two Cannes Gold Lions and a Gold Effie Award.
Sequence
Pretty follows a day in the life of Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova. It shows her getting ready, leaving The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel and travelling by limousine to a match at New York City's Arthur Ashe Stadium pursued by paparazzi. Every person she passes on the way sings a line from "I Feel Pretty", a song performed by the character Maria in the second act of the stage musical "West Side Story". She arrives at the game, where fellow players, reporters, camera crew, the ball boys and girls, announcers, and umpire sing the chorus along with the crowd, until silenced by a powerful return ace from Sharapova. The ad ends with a superimposition of the Nike Swoosh and the strapline "Just Do It" over Sharapova as she gets into position for the next serve.

Pretty
by: Breach Of TrustA day will come to find you
There'll be no words to say
What it feels like to be here and to go away
I never say what I think
The sound is too disturbing
When you are all alone
There'll be no sound to hear
To help you understand how it feels to disappear
I never say what I think
Words can be so misleading
When you are all alone I will be here
Fly up so high to find out how falling angels feel
Whne skies come crashing down
When all the pain is gone
It will be calm inside
A scarred and tired heart never will be denied
I never say what I feel
You're pretty and so unreal
I'll never understand my foolish pride
Fly up so high to find out how falling angels feel
When skies come crashing down what will the stars reveal?
Inside the burning ground it's too late to save me now
When skies come crashing down
All fall down
Fly up so high to find out how falling angels feel
When skies come crashing down what will the stars reveal?
Inside the burning ground it's to late to save me now
Fly up so high to find out how falling angels feel
When there are no places to hide no hidden truths to conceal
Inside the burning ground it's to late to save me now
When skies come crashing down
This is the final sound
An angel hits the ground
