Naomi Osaka fashion at 2026 US Open and Milan Fashion Week

Overview

As the 2026 US Open progresses, Naomi Osaka has continued to draw significant attention for her high-fashion on-court entrances, blending professional sports with streetwear and designer culture. Working with renowned stylist Law Roach, Osaka has utilized her tournament appearances to showcase diverse collections.

Following her previous Allen Iverson-inspired look, Osaka wore a KidSuper ensemble featuring a colorful fur-trimmed coat designed to reflect the spirit of New York. She also debuted a Thom Browne set, which included an embroidered tennis racket jacket and a mesh skirt inspired by basketball netting.

These fashion statements follow a trend established by Osaka across recent Grand Slam tournaments, including themed appearances at the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon, effectively turning her player entries into major cultural moments.

Expanding her influence beyond the court, Osaka recently attended Milan Fashion Week, appearing in promotional content and at Vogue World: Milano in an elaborate black dress. Her presence in the fashion industry has sparked debate within the tennis community. Former player Boris Becker commented on social media that the runway is the ‘right environment to wear beautiful dresses,’ a remark that many fans interpreted as backhanded. Supporters have defended Osaka, arguing that fashion is an integral part of the sport and that she should be able to express herself wherever she chooses.
