We went status-symbol spotting at the US Open. Here's what we found.
From Rolex watches to designer bags, check out the biggest fashion status symbols we saw at the 2026 US Open.
At the US Open, attendees have been making statements with high-end accessories and designer pieces. Tennis fans have been photographed strolling around the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York, sporting standout ensembles and luxury timepieces. Bulgari watches have been elevating simple outfits, with one attendee wearing a Serpenti Tubogas watch that costs upwards of $7,400.
Blue jeans are being replaced by white jeans, while blue denim dresses and accessories remain popular. One attendee paired a denim dress with denim accessories and Adidas sneakers, while her companion wore Nike sneakers with his trousers and blazer. Alo has become a go-to athletic brand, with a woman wearing the brand's sports bra and miniskirt set beneath a white letterman jacket.
Monochrome outfits are everywhere, with one couple sporting matching black outfits and statement accessories. Matching baseball caps have been a popular choice, with one man wearing a cream-colored top, plaid pants, and white sneakers. Rolex watches, especially the GMT-Master II in stainless steel and yellow gold, are also in demand.
Simple Rolex watches are preferred. Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin watches, such as an Overseas Chronograph in steel with a black leather strap, are highly sought after. Neutral shades and baby blue are currently trending, with one man wearing a tan set with a white T-shirt and brown belt. Strappy flats and Louis Vuitton bags have been the accessories of choice, with one woman completing her look with a small Louis Vuitton purse in rainbow colors.
Trader Joe's tote bags have also made their way to the US Open, adding a trendy touch to classic outfits.
