The premiere with victory of Naomi Osaka against the French Elsa Jacquemot (1-6, 5-7) at Wimbledon It has not gone unnoticed and, this time, it had nothing to do with the game. The Japanese has once again turned the tennis court into a fashion catwalk and He showed up to the game in an elegant white kimono.
The number 14 in the WTA ranking It is new and, again, for an aspect that is not purely tennis. However, in compliance with the strict dress codes In the Grand Slam, Osaka has respected the white, but with a kimono that reached the floor with a eccentric look that has attracted attention of all those present. This garment, which is also a nod to its origins, is the result of a contract 7.5 million pounds with Nike.
Although she has already reached her sporting peak, Naomi Osaka is still one of the most successful athletes on the circuit and Nike tied her with a sponsorship agreement for which she receives a moderate financial amount. For this reason it has become a true fashion icon in tennis.
Osaka already wore her designs and was reprimanded: “I didn’t come to a fashion show”
The haute couture designs that the 28-year-old Japanese wears elegantly are the ‘talk’ of the public and her teammates and rivals on the court. In Roland GarrosOsaka already surprised with a black corset made with recycled materialswork by Kevin Germanier. She went through the rounds and appeared in a dazzling golden dress, in her own words, in later rounds, she dazzled with a golden dress that, as she confessed, “like the Eiffel Tower at night.”
Her first round opponent Laura Siegemund criticized her: “I came here to play tennis, not to give a fashion show”he flatly expressed before the outfit of the American company that, in his opinion, also added additional time in the conditioning prior to the game.
For now, his looks are not an amulet: her turquoise dress in Australia did not help her win the tournament, but it does allow two things: don’t give up your style and don’t give up a pinch of the 7.5 million of pounds sterling he has in his annual contract with Nike.
