Naomi Osaka’s U.S. Open Look: Brat, Coquette, and Tennis Fashion All in One

In a daring fusion of coquette charm and Brat rebellion, Naomi Osaka served a look that redefines what it means to dress for the court

What happens when you combine coquette, Brat, and the US Open? You get a jaw-dropping look that makes you wonder if tennis outfits are due for an evolution into something ultra-feminine. Naomi Osaka, with Yoon Ahn’s Ambush and Nike, has officially answered that question with a resounding yes.

Returning to the U.S. Open after a two-year hiatus, Osaka didn’t just show up to win—she made a statement that caught everyone off-guard. Sporting a green dress that could only be described as coquette-chic with a dash of Brat rebellion, the tennis player brought a fresh, avant-garde twist to the traditionally straightforward tennis wardrobe. The dress featured a small, shiny bow perched delicately on four tiers of ruffles, blending whimsy with a sense of power—a hallmark of Yoon Ahn’s design sensibility.

The coquette aesthetic, with its ribbons, frills, and ruffles, adheres to an unapologetic celebration of femininity. Think pastel palettes, delicate details, and a soft silhouette that dares to defy the athletic rigidity often associated with sportswear. But what Osaka’s outfit does is more than just assuming this aesthetic; it stretches the limits of what a tennis outfit can be. It asks the question: Why can’t a player embody both the strength required to dominate the court and the softness of feminine design?

The Brat Summer aesthetic, which has been dominating the style sphere, is led by none other than Charli XCX. With her Brat album serving as the soundtrack to this unapologetically fierce look, the aesthetic is all about merging attitude with style. Brat Summer channels early 2000s clubcore romance while refusing to be boxed into any single style or persona. Osaka’s look takes cues from this, merging the girlish charm of coquette with the edgy, don’t-care vibes of Brat.

But let’s not forget what the outfit is really about—playing tennis. While the layers and bows may turn heads, they’re also designed with performance in mind. The modern tennis outfit has always walked the line between functionality and fashion, but Osaka’s look suggests that line might just be ready to blur. As long as you’re in it to win it, why can’t your tennis outfit be as complex, nuanced, and multi-faceted as the player wearing it?

Athletic wear is increasingly influenced by high fashion, and Naomi Osaka and Yoon Ahn are proving that tennis clothes don’t have to look like tennis clothes—they just have to feel like they belong on the court.
