“She Represents So Much of What I Am Inspired By”: Thom Browne on Dressing Naomi Osaka at the US Open


On Monday evening, Naomi Osaka soared through round one of the 2026 US Open in New York designer Who Decides War, styled by inimitable Law Roach. This morning, the stylist-athlete duo are back at Arthur Ashe Stadium and ready for round two—literally and sartorially.

The tennis star stepped out onto the court in custom Thom Browne, sporting a double-collared sheer jacket accented by crossed tennis racquet embroidery and cascading martingale details. Underneath, Osaka paired the dramatic jacket with a belted paneled mesh skirt overlay—a bright and airy start to the morning. “I respect Naomi as an athlete and as a person—she represents so much of what I am inspired by: excellence, focus, quiet power, intensity, intelligence, most importantly, true individuality, and she simply brings her own style and fashion to life, and to the tennis court,” Thom Browne tells Vogue. “I am so inspired and happy seeing her playing so well. I am so happy that the fashion doesn’t take away from the most important aspect of Naomi, the true champion she is.”
