For her first time as a ranked player at the US Open in three years, Naomi Osaka<\/a> showed up to New York City<\/a> in style with an outfit that turned plenty of tennis fans’ heads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Osaka donned a red bejeweled Nike outfit, with hundreds of beads on her top and skirt, akin to what Team USA<\/a> gymnasts wore on their leotards at last summer’s Paris Olympics<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Japanese star also had a rose-detailed hair piece. Her tennis bag was completed with a Labubu named\u00a0Billie Jean Bling, a tribute to arguably the greatest female tennis player of all-time, Billie Jean King.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Billie Jean Bling sparkled in red to match Osaka’s outfit and had its own blue shiny tennis racket.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Osaka said after her straight-set victory over Belgian Greet Minnen at Louis Armstrong Stadium that Nike let her design the outfit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her fans were mostly in love with the choices Osaka made for tennis’ final major of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Naomi Osaka shined in a sparkly all-red tennis outfit at the US Open on Tuesday night<\/p>\n

Osaka’s monochrome outfit was of her own design, debuting it as the No 23 woman in the draw<\/p>\n

‘Bold fashion choices before big moments tell you everything about a competitor’s mindset. Osaka’s walking in with confidence, making a statement before she even steps on the court. That red sequined look isn’t just style – it’s mental warfare,’ one person said on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘So clean,’ a second person stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Yeah that’s pretty LIT!’ a third added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘That drip is soo blinding,’ a fourth concluded, disagreeing with most of Osaka’s fans.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Osaka will return to action on Thursday, playing against American Hailey Baptiste in her home major.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old is still looking for her first Tour-level tournament victory since 2021, by falling in the Canadian Open to Victoria Mboko.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of the form that made Osaka a four-time major-winner was on display in Queens on Tuesday, with a favorable draw ahead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A possible fourth-round match against American dynamo and world No 3 Coco Gauff would turn plenty of heads in the tennis world, with two wins for each separating that dream showdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n
