Naomi Osaka has set the stage on fire. Ahead of the 2024 US Open, her outfit created a storm on social media, offering a bold yet chic look. 

Osaka, who created an iconic fashion moment on court, embodied her idol Serena Williams‘ special message, with her own unique approach. 

Following the WTA star’s adventurous take on Grand Slam fashion, let’s find out how Osaka continues to merge her knack for fashion with her athletic prowess.

Yesterday, Osaka defeated Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko in the 2024 US Open’s first round. 

Along with her fiery performance, Osaka’s adorable outfit caught a lot of attention at the Louis Armstrong Stadium. 

She wore a Nike-sponsored white shirt detailed with a green silky big bow at the back. She also paired it with a ruffled green skirt highlighted with a smaller-sized bow at its back.

Osaka’s sneakers also had cute little bows at their ankles, offering chic vibes to the audience. While this former US Open champion presented an interesting US Open look, she also became a perfect example for her idol, Williams’ slogan for her brand WYN Beauty.

Williams returned to the tournament but in a different role. This time, Williams engages with the tournament as a beauty founder for WYN Beauty. As a vision of this brand, Williams said, “I created Wyn Beauty to be active beauty. Active doesn’t always mean sport. I think moms are very active, and everyday women are very active, You can be strong and beautiful at the same time, Most of the time, you only see these athletes when they’re playing, and so they want to be able to present themselves the best way they can,” she said.

Osaka’s 2024 US Open look echoed Williams’ statement. This Japanese WTA star emerged bold and beautiful as she defeated her Latvian opponent in an outfit that proudly showcased her fashionista side. In a world where female athletes are often perceived as muscular and beyond the normal beauty standards, Osaka’s outfit helped flourish Williams’ opinion.

Not to forget, this WTA star won her maiden Grand Slam at the Flushing Meadows after she defeated Williams in 2018. While her victory quickly changed into a moment of disappointment, as neither Williams nor her fans were happy about the result. Despite that, Osaka always idealized the Olympic gold-medalist. In her recent interview, she paid a great tribute to Williams while speaking about her new look.

Osaka was interviewed by the New York Times, where she spoke about her 2024 US Open outfit in detail. She accepted that she has started taking more risks with her on-court fashion and as long as it is comfortable, the WTA star has no problem. However, Osaka couldn’t stop saying how Serena Williams’ outfit reveal was a big thing during her prime.

“I don’t think there’s anything risky about this. I think it’s a beautiful garment. I’ve lived in the era when Serena taking her jacket off was the reveal. So to maybe give someone else that experience, for me, is exciting,” Osaka concluded.

Naomi Osaka’s chic yet bold US Open look has stormed the internet with her followers going gaga over the look. While she perfectly rocked her outfit with her performance, she also validated Williams’ opinion that female athletes are equally bold and beautiful.
