I've barely turned off my TV since the US Open began on August 18. Once, I queued up Love Is Blind: UK and missed Venus Williams in custom Khaite, a.k.a. one of the best celebrity looks at the 2025 US Open. Safe to say, I learned my lesson.
The thought of missing another fashion moment haunts me. Now, I always have one eye on center court and the other on the VIP section. New York's Billie Jean King National Tennis Center was noticeably fashion muse-free until August 24. Finally, the nail-biting singles matches brought in the crowds. On weekend one, the Arthur Ashe Stadium stands showcased Vera Wang, Brittany Snow, and Tina Knowles within a sea of tennis whites.
If A-listers didn't go the traditional tennis-core route, they embraced vintage-inspired prep. See: Maude Apatow in a sleek Marc Jacobs dress straight out of the '50s. A few rows north, Sarah Pidgeon channeled Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in a pinstripe button-down and Fall 2025's indigo denim trend.
Thankfully, the US Open is far from over. Similar to Wimbledon 2025, the tennis tournament—and its refined daytime aesthetic—will dominate my Instagram timeline from now until September 7.
However, Wimbledon and the US Open are on opposite ends of the tennis style spectrum. In July, the London championship called for midi-length dresses, three-piece suits, and sun hats. During the US Open, you'll see more casual country club attire. Think shirt dresses, espadrille flats, and an Hermès Birkin bag or two—basically anything Zendaya's Tashi Duncan would wear in Challengers.
Ahead, scroll through the best celebrity style serves at this year's competition (so far). While you're at it, shop their Open-worthy pieces, whether or not you scored tickets.
Katie Holmes
Katie Holmes watched Novak Djokovic play against Cameron Norrie on August 29. For the event, the Dawson's Creek alum wore a silk checkered dress, an oversize leather jacket, and her favorite Schutz Arissa Flats. She also carried Marni's forthcoming Tulipea Bag.
Simone Biles
The Olympian was all smiles before Coco Gauff's victory over Donna Vekić. She paired a four-figure Mini Lady Dior bag with the of-the-moment balloon pant trend.
Queen Latifah
Queen Latifah clearly got the tennis whites memo without ditching her iconic style. She wore pinstripe Bermuda shorts and a matching button-down. Her only non-white piece? Tasseled leather mules from JW Anderson.
Candace Parker
The former Chicago Sky forward went sporty-chic for her first US Open appearance. The metallic silver, green, and white sidewalls on her Adidas sneakers complemented her V-neck sweater to a T.
Jasmine Cephas Jones
Catch me in the office this fall wearing the Hamilton alum's exact outfit, from the houndstooth Blazé Milano blazer down to her pointy kitten heels.
Awkwafina
Underneath a stark white letterman jacket, Awkafina tapped into the rugby shirt trend. Its navy, green, and white stripes matched her coat's cuffs to a T.
Olivia Munn & John Mulaney
Olivia Munn and John Mulaney matched each other's energy in polished daywear. Munn, for one, was the picture of elegance in a cream high-neck mini dress, which bared a striking resemblance to this Aritzia find.
Bridget Moynahan
Bridget Moynahan took cues from her Sex and the City character's posh closet in white and cream picks. Her wide-leg trousers, for example, felt right up Natasha's alley.
Paige DeSorbo
Is it truly a summer 2025 affair if flip-flops weren't involved? On day nine, Paige DeSorbo looked every bit the It girl in a Rowen Rose polo mini dress and Hailey Bieber-ish kitten heel thongs.
Chase Sui Wonders
The Studio actor made her US Open debut on day eight, wearing a pinstripe mini dress. Its neckline and drop waist were both lined with matching ruffles. Miu Miu's Matelassé Hobo Mini Bag upped her all-black look to four-figure status.
Sarah Pidgeon
The American Love Story star channeled her character, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, in a pinstripe button-down on August 24. In true Kennedy form, she tucked it into dark-wash jeans, cinched with a brown leather belt. A pink beverage acted as her only accessory.
Maude Apatow
Inside the Moët & Chandon box on day eight, Maude Apatow posed for an unofficial step-and-repeat in an eggplant Marc Jacobs dress. Her V-neck mini's only tennis-y detail was an itty-bitty bow atop the bodice.
Vera Wang
Vera Wang clearly has season tickets to the US Open—she's rarely missed a match since 2014. On day seven, she returned to the blue carpet, this time in a satin slip dress and a $2,190 Alaïa handbag.
Maria Sharapova
36 hours after being inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame, Maria Sharapova attended day eight in custom Nike Atelier. She made a case for tennis black in a pleated maxi skirt, a collarless wrap blazer, and patent leather sneakers.
Brittany Snow
Brittany Snow's The Hunting Wives press tour concluded just in time for the US Open. On day eight, she visited the IHG suite in a button-down little white dress, plus gold peep-toe mules.
Lisa Leslie
Sharapova wasn't the only attendee in sneakers on day eight. Basketball legend Lisa Leslie went with the Nike Cortez model in white with green arrows. (You may recognize the retro silhouette from Dakota Johnson's Materialists costume rack.) They added a sporty twist to her silk Louis Vuitton dress.
Tina Knowles
The Cécred co-founder arrived at the 2025 US Open in a delightful twist on tennis whites. Instead of a pleated skirt and polo shirt, Tina Knowles opted for a two-piece made of oversize floral lace.
Paul Wesley and Natalie Kuckenburg
Couples' style at the US Open almost always involves coordinating tennis whites. Paul Wesley and Natalie Kuckenburg started the 2025 chapter with a white shirt and black slacks (for him) and a fold-over white dress (for her).
