Most of the athletes are known for their skills, but the Japanese tennis sensation Naomi Osaka has an added flair of being a style icon as well! While the tennis world knows Osaka for her power-packed performances on the court, her influence off the court is just as captivating, thanks to her impeccable fashion sense. Though the recently concluded US Open didn’t quite go her way in terms of results, Osaka’s style game was anything but disappointing. Her unique and exhilarating fashion choices continue to turn heads, leaving fans eager to replicate her bold looks.
The 26-year-old has witnessed a subpar season with early exits and shocking defeats so far. In the US Open as well, she was whisked out by Karolina Muchova in the second round itself in straight sets. However, despite her poor performance, Osaka got the appropriate limelight, thanks to her unique and creative fashion sense and outfit at the tournament. Despite the tournament being over more than two weeks ago, her outfit has continued to remain relevant.
Taking to Instagram, a user shared several pictures in which a young lady can be seen in a similar outfit as Osaka. In one of those pictures, seven ladies are standing holding tennis racquets in their hands wearing white and black attire with a huge green bow. The user also highlighted that the style was inspired by Osaka’s US Open outfit, and the star player was quick to respond.
