- On Monday, Naomi Osaka debuted a flowing, kimono-like robe at the All England Club, navigating Wimbledon's strict all-white dress code as she walked onto the grass court. The Japanese player's creative outfit drew enthusiastic reactions from the crowd.
- Anticipation surrounded how Osaka would address the tournament's all-white clothing rule. On Sunday, she said, "I've never thought of the color white being a restriction," noting the variety of textures and fabrics available.
- Beneath the robe, Osaka wore a Nike dress featuring seven 3-D flowers inspired by Kirigami, a timeless Japanese art form. The floral details are "carefully placed" to ensure they "don't interfere with her play."
