Minutes ago, the Japanese tennis star took to social media to show off her new custom-made jacket to her fans. Sharing glimpses of it via a post on her official Instagram handle, Osaka said, “Ahead of @f1mia had the pleasure of receiving a custom jacket from @jeffhamilton”

In the picture, Osaka can be seen wearing a black-colored jacket in which she looks stunning. Additionally, the fans were left in awe of her sheath, praising her style quotient. Osaka posted a series of pictures in different poses and also showed the back of a jacket, having the print of a bear holding a flower.

Interestingly, although nothing is mentioned in the post, flower and bear are called ‘Hana’ and ‘Kuma’ respectively in Japanese. And Hana Kuma just so happens to be Osaka’s media and production company founded with her longtime agent Stuart Duguid!

Osaka is one of the most stylish players in the tennis world and often dons eye-catching outfits. She has even left behind the likes of Emma Raducanu and Coco Gauff when it comes to on-court outfits. The Japanese star once revealed why she felt important to dress up well on the court.
