Coco Gauff, world No. 2 and reigning French Open champion, recently opened up about her first taste of Paris nightlife following her 2025 Roland Garros triumph. The celebration came after a grueling three-hour match, and Gauff admitted she didn’t exactly stick to her hydration plan. “I didn’t really hydrate after the match. It was almost a three-hour match, and obviously, when you win, everybody’s trying to hand you champagne. … And I didn’t say no!” she laughed. Surrounded by friends and her team, Gauff enjoyed the moment, especially when Frank Ocean’s music filled the bar. “I remember they played Frank Ocean [at the bar], and I love Frank Ocean. He was my number two most-listened-to artist this year. I went Live when that came on—everybody was scared that I was on Live. I was like, ‘Bro, I just want to vibe out to Frank Ocean and share it with the people.’”
Life off the court and quiet routines
While the Paris outing was memorable, Gauff admitted that such nights are rare. “Tennis players, we don’t get to go out often,” she noted. On most evenings during tournaments, she prefers room service and catching up on her favorite shows, like Stranger Things. If she plays earlier in the day, she enjoys dinner with her parents, keeping things calm and focused.
Prepared for every outing
When she does go out, Gauff is the reliable friend who always comes prepared. “When I go out, I feel like I need everything, not necessarily for myself but for other people,” she said. Her bag often includes essentials like a phone charger, gum, sanitizing wipes, and her go-to fragrance, Miu Miu’s Miutine Eau de Parfum. “Some people will spritz areas that you’re ‘supposed to.’ I like to douse it. When I stop smelling it, that means it’s time to reapply.”
Matching fragrance to fashion
Gauff explained that she pairs scents with outfits rather than times of day. Miutine, she said, works for both casual and going-out looks, especially when paired with skirts or kitten heels. “I feel like skirts are so Miu Miu. Whenever I’m wearing a skirt of any sort, I have to reach for Miutine.”
Makeup and beauty staples
Her beauty routine is simple but effective. Lip gloss is a must, with Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb being her favorite. “I’m not really a matte lipstick girly, so I always have lip gloss. I hate the feeling of dry lips.” She also keeps blotting powder handy to manage oily skin, often relying on Fenty’s Invisimatte Blotting Powder.
Nighttime rituals and self-care
Even after nights out, Gauff never skips her skincare routine. “In tournaments, I’m actually better at doing [my skincare routine] than when I’m at home. I just feel like it’s a way for me to unwind and reflect. Maybe put some music on in the background…” Her final ritual is a spritz of perfume before bed. “I’m one of those people that puts on fragrance before I go to [bed]. Usually, it drifts me to sleep.”
Coco Gauff’s blend of discipline, charm, and preparation shows that whether she’s celebrating a Grand Slam victory or winding down after a match, she brings the same thoughtful energy to her beauty and lifestyle routines as she does to her game.
