Naomi Osaka is, in many ways, competing at the 2026 French Open.
Today, for her opening match against Germany’s Laura Siegemund, Osaka continued her stylish fashion streak. This time, she enlisted Swiss designer Kevin Germanier to craft a custom outfit for her walk-on.
Osaka made her way onto the clay court in an all-black ensemble, which Germanier reimagined from her previous competition attire—a tennis skirt, jacket, and dress. The Swiss designer fashioned a black sleeveless corset top adorned with delicate beading, complemented by a semi-transparent pleated skirt crafted from the interior fabric of one of Osaka’s jackets.
“I aimed to infuse the outfit with a romantic yet formidable vibe, mirroring Naomi’s dynamism and the emotional impact of performing on such a legendary stage,” Germanier shares with Vogue. “Following her extraordinary Met appearance, it was crucial to return with an equally potent and forceful statement in Paris, blending haute couture and athletics, or as Naomi aptly puts it, ‘couture.’”
Beneath her tailored walk-on attire, Osaka showcased her equally chic Nike kit: a light brown skirt set featuring a ruffled, two-tiered peplum and vertical lines of gold sequins in varying sizes.
The sportswear-inspired walk-on look facilitated effortless styling. For a photo with Siegemund prior to the match, Osaka matched the sheer black pleated maxi skirt with the sequined peplum top.
