Naomi Osaka makes another Wimbledon fashion statement after promising to ‘shake things up’

  • Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka has continued her trend of wearing eye-catching outfits at major tournaments, showcasing a series of all-white ensembles at Wimbledon .
  • For her first-round victory, Osaka wore a gown designed by Tokyo-based Hana Yagi, inspired by 'Kill Bill', Japanese ceremonial dress, and paper cutting, featuring detachable layers, three-dimensional embroidery of cranes and cherry blossoms, bell sleeves, and an obi belt.
  • Her second-round outfit, worn during a win that matched her best-ever Wimbledon performance, was a slightly more subdued version of the first, with the majority of the skirt removed and a long train flowing behind her.
  • Ahead of her third-round match, Osaka appeared in an ornately embroidered jacket with long bell sleeves, which flowed into a floaty, tiered white train, reflecting her stated intention to “shake things up” with her attire throughout the tournament.
  • Osaka, who is the 14th seed and a four-time Grand Slam champion, has become known for her fashion sense, previously wearing a gold, Eiffel Tower-inspired ensemble at the French Open and a jellyfish-themed outfit at the Australian Open.
