Naomi Osaka made a dazzling entrance at the 2025 U.S. Open, stepping onto the court in a striking red outfit that turned heads and lit up social media. The two-time champion paired her crystalized Nike bubble-hem skirt with a sequined cropped jacket and custom red sneakers. Her look was completed with sparkly red roses in her ponytail and bedazzled headphones, creating a bold visual statement for her night match.
The Story Behind the Style
Osaka revealed that the design process for her outfit began long before the tournament. The intricate crystal work posed a challenge, especially on a performance garment meant for high-level competition. She chose to debut the look under the lights of New York, calling it her “night outfit” and hinting at a different ensemble for daytime matches.
A Labubu Named Billie Jean Bling
Adding a playful twist to her appearance, Osaka carried a Labubu charm dressed in a matching red outfit and holding a tiny blue racket. She named it “Billie Jean Bling,” a humorous nod to tennis legend Billie Jean King. Fans quickly embraced the character, flooding social media with admiration and jokes about giving it its own Instagram page.
Collaborating on the Rose Ponytail
The idea for the rose-adorned ponytail came together just weeks before the match. Osaka consulted her stylist, tossing around creative ideas until they landed on the floral concept. Though she removed the accessory before play due to its weight, she emphasized that it was meant for presentation, not performance.
Confidence on and off the Court
Osaka’s fashion choices reflected a renewed energy as she returned to Grand Slam competition. Her straight-sets win over Greet Minnen, 6-3, 6-4, marked a strong start to the tournament. With her blend of athletic prowess and expressive style, Osaka reminded fans that she’s not only back—but ready to shine.
