Naomi Osaka Makes Big Fashion Statement at Australian Open

  • On Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2026, Naomi Osaka walked onto Rod Laver Arena wearing a wide-brim hat with veil and carrying a white umbrella in a runway-style collaboration with Nike and Robert Wun.
  • Osaka conceived the look after seeing a jellyfish image while reading to her daughter Shai, and she told Nike, 'let me design this one,' helping shape the outfit including a butterfly nod to her 2021 Australian Open title.
  • With a pleated miniskirt over wide‑legged white pants, Naomi Osaka’s layered ensemble included a wide‑brim hat with veil and tie‑dye turquoise warm‑up with tendrils; her rackets were carried onto court and her tennis bag pre-placed at her seat.
  • Social media and the women’s tour called Osaka’s entrance viral and iconic, with her win over Antonia Ruzic in three sets, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, in 2 hours and 22 minutes, amplifying her cultural impact.
  • By blending runway theatrics and tennis, the entrance positions Naomi Osaka as a cultural influencer, with observers calling it one of the biggest fashion statements in tennis history and reinforcing her quirky on‑court style.
