Emma Raducanu: Tennis star or fashion icon? Which side of her do you admire more?

Emma Raducanu isn’t just a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court; she’s also made quite a name for herself in the world of fashion. Known for her fierce talent and fiery skills, the young star continues to turn heads—this time not for her tennis, but for her impeccable sense of style. Even as she takes a break from the courts, Raducanu is staying in the spotlight, and it’s all thanks to her love for fashion.

The British sensation played her last tournament at the Korea Open where she faced a foot injury. Playing against Yue Yuan, the star player received some treatment on her foot and eventually prevailed over the Chinese player to enter the quarterfinals. But despite getting one extra day owing to rain, Raducanu could not return to her dominant self and decided to withdraw mid-match while playing against Daria Kasatkina. But now, she has once again captured headlines due to her sensational presence in London. 

The 21-year-old was spotted at the Frieze Art Fair in London’s Regent Park on Wednesday, October 9, as she joined British actor Benedict Cumberbatch in leading the stars attending the event. But what caught the attention of the tennis community was the incredible look of the star player as she stepped out of her tennis gear.

Raducanu was seen in a relaxed look for the event as she wore a beige chunky knitted jumper with white trousers. She also donned black shades and completed her attire with a pair of white sneakers, as can be seen in the pictures from the event. Interestingly, this attire aligned with Raducanu’s fashion interest. 

 

Speaking in an interview with Vogue, the Brit star revealed the kind of clothes she likes to wear. “I like to wear something that’s fairly casual and comfortable, such as a knitted jumper and flared jeans,” she said. However, there are some fashion events, like those organized by Dior, where she likes “trying different styles out.” The look of the actor, meanwhile was no less, as he gave a perfect match to Raducanu.

Benedict came out in a camel double-breasted jacket, as reported by Daily Mail. He layered his chic coat over a pale blue T-shirt and wore an orange neck scarf that immensely complimented his look. He was also seen wearing a pair of olive-green trousers and comfortable sneakers. Coming back to Raducanu, her love for fashion is not new.

Raducanu became the face of the House of Dior in 2021 after she partnered with the fashion company as its Brand Ambassador reportedly in a £ 2.53 million partnership, shortly after her US Open victory. Since then, she has participated in various events and photoshoots organized by the company and has garnered immense love from her fans. Interestingly, Raducanu’s dressing style is also influenced immensely by her mother.

Raducanu engaged in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar and opened up about her fashion styles. “I really enjoy that nautical, marine type of style and those colors; navys, whites, blues. I love wearing all white,” she said. Continuing further, she also opened up about how her mother influenced her dressing style. “I grew up with my mum dressing me and as I’ve grown older, I have just cultivated that and added my own twist to it occasionally. I was very lucky to have such a strong influence on my style and fashion from my mum.”

Meanwhile, Raducanu’s latest appearance has indeed taken the tennis community to awe with several people expressing adorable reactions to her pictures. But what still remains to be seen is how soon can the star player overcome her injury struggles and return to the courts in her dominant and cheerful tone.
