Celebrity Osaka enthusiastic about unconventional clothing
Naomi Osaka shines in bright green at the US Open and boosts confidence with a stylish comeback. The back features an oversized mint green bow, while the skirt underneath matches in the same color. Gorgeous bow headphones and shoes complete her outfit for her first match at the US Open. The crowd was thrilled when tennis star Naomi Osaka stepped onto the court, and she felt even more powerful in her wardrobe. “It’s like a superhero costume for me,” Osaka revealed after the match, which she won 6-3, 6-2 against Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko.
Her involvement in the design process dates back over a year, when she chose the color herself at press conferences and spoke about the fashion elements. “There is a unique energy in my tennis clothes that makes me feel more empowered, especially my US Open outfit. I hope it doesn’t look too over the top,” she joked as she put on her headphones and stepped onto the court. She later took off the jacket with the eye-catching loop on the back during the match.
“Kobe’s spirit never leaves me”
In one of her biggest wins since returning to the professional tour as a mother this season, Osaka cried on the bench after beating world number 10 Ostapenko. “This win and the electrifying atmosphere are immeasurably important to me,” she said.
After the game, she honored the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant by wearing his jersey at her press conference. “I wear his jerseys after matches and practices just because it feels like he’s still with me,” she recalled when Bryant attended one of her US Open matches.
Naomi Osaka’s victory at the US Open was particularly marked by her tribute to Kobe Bryant when she wore his jersey at her post-match press conference. Even on the court at the US Open, the spirit of Kobe Bryant continues to inspire Naomi Osaka.
