Naomi Osaka debuts another unforgettable Grand Slam look and backs it up with a win

Naomi Osaka promised another unforgettable fashion moment for Roland Garros after her viral Australian Open “jellyfish” ensemble, and she delivered the instant she walked onto Court Suzanne Lenglen.

For her opening-round clash against Laura Siegemund, the Japanese star arrived in a dramatic layered look featuring a glittering black corset and a flowing pleated skirt that swept gracefully across the Paris clay. Underneath, she revealed a shimmering gold Nike dress accented with sparkling sequined stripes that caught the afternoon sunlight from every angle.

The outer black creations were designed by Kevin Germanier, the avant-garde couturier celebrated for transforming recycled materials into high-fashion statement pieces. The shimmering gold dress underneath, reminiscent of a glamorous figure skating costume, was custom made by Nike.

Commenting on the look, Osaka compared herself to Paris’ most famous landmark: “It’s very couture and also funny enough, I feel like I’m, you know, the Eiffel Tower at night when it’s sparkly? I kind of think I look like that a little bit.”

The four-time Grand Slam champion backed up her eye-catching entrance with a solid performance on court, overcoming Germany’s Laura Siegemund 6-3 7-6(3) to move into the second round. Next up, she will meet Donna Vekic, as she targets a return to the Roland Garros third round for the first time since 2019.
