Lacoste’s presence was felt around the tournament, with the brand extending its vision through retail and activation. <\/p>\n
On-site boutiques and pop-ups offered the full collection alongside customization options. A mobile version of Caf\u00e9 Lacoste sat outside Hard Rock Stadium following the success of the first edition of the caf\u00e9 in the heart of Paris earlier this year. The caf\u00e9, derived as a natural extension of the Crocodile’s iconic universe, combined French art de vivre with the French maison’s rich sporting heritage.<\/p>\n
Lacoste’s co-branded 2026 Miami Open collection delivers a cohesive wardrobe that moves seamlessly between performance and everyday wear. Designed across men’s, women’s, and children’s categories, the pieces are grounded in the brand’s classic tennis codes but updated with a distinctly Miami vibe.<\/p>\n

The collection builds on Lacoste\u2019s heritage through clean lines and timeless silhouettes while injecting just enough motif to reflect the energy of the tournament. Polos remain central but are reworked through sharper cuts and refreshed color blocking. Lightweight jackets and outer layers introduce versatility, while T-shirts, hats, and accessories round out the collection. <\/p>\n
Vibrant accents and graphic details reference the city’s atmosphere, but they’re subtly applied, appearing in trims and contrasts so as not to dominate the garments. With ball kids dressed in the bright orange that the tournament is known for, but officials contrasting in a deep navy, the French maison’s outfitting strategy feels deliberate and refined.<\/p>\n
The brand’s custom kits feature pastel versions of the iconic polo, with a palette of light greens, blues, and pinks hinting at the bold spirit of Miami’s bright neons. Fils, Medvedev, and Grigor Dimitrov wore versions of the polo in various pastel shades while Eva Lys was outfitted in a classic white quarter zip tennis dress.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s pretty cool,” Fils said of the collection. “Everyone has a great outfit when they step onto the court. I like Grigor’s one. I like the pink. It’s quite the vibe.”<\/p>\n
Like Lys, Williams also wore a monochromatic white tennis dress. However, the seven-time Grand Slam champion received a special custom piece in the form of a silver mirror leather jacket designed by Lacoste’s creative director, Pelagia Kolotouros. <\/p>\n
A total of 814 beads were hand-sewn on the jacket to spell out “game changer,” a nod to the hair beads Williams was known for wearing when she first turned pro. <\/p>\n

“The girl who changed the game of tennis” was stitched in the Lun\u00e9ville hook technique with a point cha\u00eenette stitch in France to capture both the brand’s French heritage and the agility that defined Williams’ on-court presence. A silhouette of the 45-year-old serving was inlaid on the back panel of the jacket as a final touch.<\/p>\n
Tennis is no longer confined to the court. Its existence across fashion and entertainment is bringing a new wave of interest via a non-sports lens, positioning tennis-heritage brands like Lacoste as both a participant in the game and a driver of its evolving identity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lacoste continues to redefine contemporary tennis style as the French maison made its annual return to the 305…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-212900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
