ROLAND GARROS — In a city like Paris, looking good is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.

There are few places where that is more true than if you are the centre of attention on Court Philip Chatrier, walking out in front of 15,000 people. They are at the French Open to watch you play tennis, but in the fashion capital of the world, they are first there to judge your outfit.

I’ve spent two weeks watching for the best and worst looks of the 2026 French Open – but I am also hardly likely to trouble Vogue’s Best Dressed People list any time soon – so I thought I should get an expert in to help. Eliza Wastcoat, who runs “It’s Eliza’s World” on Instagram and creator of “The Fashion Edit”, has given me her own expert opinion and the verdict of her audience.
