Naomi Osaka's US Open journey ends. Fashion-wise, she won
Naomi Osaka's US Open run ended with a straight-sets fourth-round loss to Elena Rybakina. However, her choice of outfit was again stole the spotlight.
Naomi Osaka's run at the US Open 2026 came to a close on Monday with a straight-sets fourth-round loss to Elena Rybakina — but true to form, the four-time Grand Slam champion made sure her final walk onto Arthur Ashe Stadium was as memorable as any of her matches.
For her match against Rybakina, Osaka arrived in a fur-trimmed, patchwork cloak — a "coat of many colors" designed by Brooklyn-based streetwear label KidSuper. Styled by celebrity stylist Law Roach, best known for shaping Zendaya's red-carpet image, the piece was part show, part statement.
"I felt really swaggy when I put it on," Osaka said after the match. "I feel like it embodied New York a lot."
A tournament-long fashion arc
The KidSuper cloak wasn't a standalone moment — it was the closing chapter of a week-long fashion narrative Osaka built with Roach, with each round bringing a different designer and a consistent basketball undertone, a nod to her sponsor Nike honoring the New York Knicks' championship season.
First round: Osaka channelled NBA legend Allen Iverson, walking out in a flowing white tulle skirt paired with a dramatic hooded grey robe from New York streetwear label Who Decides War. When she pulled back the hood, her hair was styled in cornrows under a headband — a direct callback to Iverson's look during his MVP years with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Second round: A Thom Browne ensemble took over — a flowing white jacket embroidered with crossed tennis rackets, worn over a skirt whose mesh fabric was designed to resemble a basketball net.
Third round: Osaka switched gears with a Monse piece — an oversized hybrid of a grey suit jacket and hoodie, worn over loose grey fleece pants, blending boardroom tailoring with courtside comfort.
Osaka has increasingly built a reputation for her walk-on reveals as much as her tennis, and this year's US Open run leaned into that fully — using Roach's styling to turn each match entrance into its own fashion moment, tied together by a single running theme rather than one-off pieces.
