Naomi Osaka once again stole the spotlight with a bold Grand Slam walk-on outfit at the U.S. Open on Monday before the two-time champion battled past unseeded Russian Anastasia Zakharova 7-6(6), 7-6(3) to reach the second round.
Osaka has emerged as one of the fashion highlights of this year’s Grand Slam season, and she made another striking entrance at Arthur Ashe Stadium in a hooded tunic featuring patchwork-style panels decorated with press clippings from her past tournament appearances, complemented by a flowing white tulle train.
The Japanese star also made a statement at Wimbledon, where she paid tribute to her heritage with a kimono-inspired ensemble and traditional kanzashi hair ornament before changing into a white Nike playing kit for her match.
At Roland Garros, she arrived in a black Kevin Germanier skirt and competed in a layered yellow, brown and gold outfit inspired by the Eiffel Tower’s nighttime sparkle.
Her look at the Australian Open took its cues from a jellyfish.
