TEN:Osaka turns on the style as she sparkles in Paris

Naomi Osaka has made another fashion statement at the French Open as she moved through to the third round.

The Japanese star has made collaborating with fashion designers a feature of major tournaments and she caused a stir in the first round when she took to the court wearing a long black skirt and jacket, which she removed to reveal a sequinned gold dress.

For her second-round clash with Croatia's Donna Vekic, Osaka donned a golden bomber jacket and long ivory train.

"For the outfit, the inspo (inspiration) was, I don't want to say Victorian, but the ladies that have the dresses with the poof in the background," she explained after her 7-6 (1) 6-4 victory.

Osaka's use of the tennis court as akin to a runway has divided opinions, with her first-round opponent Laura Siegemund telling German TV: "I couldn't care less. I come here to play tennis, not to put on a fashion show."
