- On Tuesday at the French Open, Naomi Osaka wore a custom black outfit designed by Swiss couturier Kevin Germanier for her first-round match against Germany's Laura Siegemund on Court Suzanne-Lenglen at Roland-Garros in Paris.

- Though Osaka is just one match into the French Open, she's already running away with the best-dressed trophy. Germanier told WWD designing the look was 'a true honor' to celebrate her strength and athleticism.
- Osaka explained on Saturday that fashion is her primary form of expression, stating 'I am a little dramatic when it comes to my fashion sense.' Ahead of the tournament, she hosted a dinner with American tennis player Taylor Townsend for Black tennis players.
