Naomi Osaka certainly knows how to make an entrance. In June, she stole the sartorial show at Wimbledon in Hana Yagi, and accomplished the same in a jellyfish-inspired look co-designed by Robert Wun and Nike at the Australian Open earlier this year. On Monday night, the four-time Grand Slam champion did it again, this time at the U.S. Open, walking into Arthur Ashe Stadium in a custom Who Decides War all-white gown, styled and commissioned by Law Roach. The tulle dress featured sewn-in news clippings of her career highlights, which she paired with a headband over cornrows, a red sweatband on one arm, and a black sleeve on the other, paying homage to basketball legend Allen Iverson.
