World No. 1 Belarusian tennis player Aryna Sabalenka introduced a new Nike outfit for the 2026 US Open. The design, featuring an orange-red base covered by a sheer black mesh dress, was first highlighted in a short video posted to social media. Initial coverage focused on the strong fan backlash, with many commenters calling the kit the ‘worst ever’ and urging Sabalenka to end her partnership with Nike. Some critics likened the mesh to a ‘fishing net’ and suggested Nike had ‘officially lost its fashion game.’ Within days, reporting noted that reactions were mixed. While criticism persisted, some fans praised the bold, superhero-like aesthetic, which Sabalenka stated reflects her ‘explosive personality.’ As the tournament progressed, Sabalenka’s fashion choices continued to draw attention. During a mixed doubles match, she wore the sheer Nike mesh dress paired with a bright orange sports bra and shorts, while also showcasing an extravagant jewelry set from the New York-based brand Material Good. As the defending champion, Sabalenka has drawn significant attention for wearing a luxury necklace valued at approximately $400,000. The jewelry, composed of sapphire, tanzanite, and garnet, was chosen to reflect the cosmopolitan and multicultural nature of New York City. Sabalenka serves as the first ambassador for Material Good. Following her defeat to Elena Rybakina in the US Open final, which resulted in Sabalenka losing the world No. 1 ranking, she has been vacationing in Greece with her fiancé, Georgios Frangulis. She described the trip as a period of ‘rest and reset’ to recharge and focus on mental recovery, specifically reading ‘The Pressure Code’ to manage high-pressure environments. During her stay, she attended the launch of Frangulis’ clothing line, ‘The Gride,’ in Glyfada. Expanding her presence in the fashion industry, Sabalenka recently made her runway debut at Vogue World 2026 in Milan.
