Naomi Osaka exits U.S. Open, but not before displaying one more 'swaggy' fashion ensemble
Osaka’s tournament fashion run ended after four dramatic basketball-themed walk-on looks, including designs by Thom Browne, Monse and KidSuper.
- Four-Time Grand Slam champion Osaka lost her fourth-round match on Monday to Elena Rybakina at the Open, yet continued to make her mark as a notable fashion presence on tour.
- Throughout the tournament, Osaka emphasized a basketball theme, with sponsor Nike honoring the New York Knicks' championship win through a series of dramatic court-side fashion reveals.
- Early round outfits included an Allen Iverson-inspired robe, a Thom Browne tennis jacket with crossed rackets, a Who Decides War skirt with basketball-net mesh, and a Monse hybrid suit-hoodie.
- For her final appearance Monday, Osaka arrived in a colorful, fur-trimmed cloak by Brooklyn-based label KidSuper. "I felt really swaggy when I put it on," Osaka said.
- The 28-year-old remained philosophical following her loss, saying, "Maybe I'm just getting older, but I don't feel sad," and reflected that there was nothing she regretted about her career.
