Two things happened on the Court Suzanne-Lenglen at the French Open yesterday.
Japanese tennis star and former World No.1 player Naomi Osaka beat her German opponent Laura Siegemund 6-3, 7-6 (3), starting her Roland Garros campaign in style.
Speaking of which, the second thing stole the spotlight: Osaka’s taste for fashion.
The 28-year-old four-time Grand Slam champion walked onto the court in a ceremonial black skirt and sleeveless beaded bodice, which she removed to reveal a stunning sequined gold playing dress.
“It’s very couture,” Osaka said of her dress after the match. “You know the Eiffel Tower at night when it’s sparkly. I kind of think I look like that a little bit.”
