"...Returning to the court once again for Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka, who is currently ranked number two in the world after a 15-month break to give birth. At the U.S. Open, she performed as expected and secured victory from her very first match. In addition to her wins and skill, the outfit she chose to wear on the court has also garnered a lot of attention when she appeared in a tennis dress adorned with a massive bow at the back..."

On the second day of the U.S. Open, she appeared in a dress adorned with a large, eye-catching neon green bow that drew the attention of everyone in the stadium. This outfit was created through  collaboration between Yoon Ambush, a Korean-American designer, and the sportswear brand Nike. It was inspired by the Harajuku culture of Japan, where she often saw ribbons and bows during her visits to Japan.

“There’s a moment of transformation for me when I walk onto the court, and I have a lot of fun playing, so wanting everyone who sees the outfit to connect with that feeling is a really big motivation for me.” Naomi Osaka said

She also showcased another adorable and striking look inspired by Lolita-goth style, featuring a black Nike bomber jacket adorned with a large white bow, paired with a voluminous black skirt and Nike sneakers, which were also decorated with bows.
