World No. 16 Naomi Osaka delivered another iconic Grand Slam entrance Tuesday, wearing a shimmering gold sequined dress underneath a dramatic black corset to kick off her 2026 French Open campaign.
The 28-year-old arrived on Court Suzanne Lenglen in a custom Kevin Germanier-designed black gown, subsequently revealing the glittering Nike tennis dress as she took the court. Osaka later said the outfit reminded her of "the Eiffel Tower at night."
Tennis fans witnessed Osaka dominate Laura Siegemund 6-3, 7-6 (7-3) to advance to the second round. During the match, the four-time Grand Slam champion joked she worried the umpire would kick her off court due to the reflections bouncing off her dress beneath the notoriously hot Paris sun.
Top seed Aryna Sabalenka later praised Osaka's fashion.
"I love that she is expressing herself and feels confident," she said. "That's the beauty of the fashion world."
