At the 2023 US Open, tennis star Naomi Osaka made a striking entrance wearing a white kimono-themed dress adorned with newspaper clippings about her career milestones. The outfit paid homage to NBA legend Allen Iverson, who is renowned for his contributions to sports fashion during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Osaka stated that Iverson, whom she highly admires for his fashion influence, inspired her unique on-court style.
Although her performance on the court was initially strong, Osaka fought back to defeat her opponent, Russia's Anastasia Zakharova, 7-6 (8-6), 7-3, in their first-round match. Osaka will face Czech Republic's Katerina Siniakova in the next round, promising fans more fashion-forward outfits to come.
