Naomi Osaka is a ‘brat.’
And we mean that in the best way. The tennis champion took the color of the summer — neon green — and debuted a new tennis look, complete with a giant green bow.
Designed by Yoon Ahn for her first-round match against 10th seed Jelena Ostapenko, the designer had this to say about the head-turning look:
“For Naomi’s look, she brought forward a vision and it was my job as a designer to create something that she’ll feel confident and comfortable in when she walks onto the court, allowing her to bring 100% of herself,” Ahn said.
For Osaka :
“The inspiration that fueled the look for me — and this might be a Japanese term — is feeling like a ‘magical girl’ on the court,”
“There’s a moment of transformation for me when I walk onto the court, and I have a lot of fun playing, so wanting everyone who sees the outfit to connect with that feeling is a really big motivation for me.”
