Naomi Osaka once again proved that fashion and sport can share the same spotlight. At the 2026 Australian Open in Melbourne, the four-time Grand Slam champion made a striking entrance in a custom Robert Wun x Nike tennis outfit. Osaka, one of the most successful players of her generation, turned the tennis court into a runway moment without losing focus on performance.
Naomi Osaka brings the drama to tennis court in dreamy Robert Wun x Nike outfit
For her grand entrance, Osaka layered the dress over tiered, pleated palazzo pants that flowed beneath the hemline. She completed the look with a wide white hat finished with a sheer veil. This added an ethereal quality that is rarely seen in professional tennis. Osaka also carried a white umbrella with uneven panel proportions, further enhancing the sculptural feel of the outfit.
However, the drama did not stop there. For her first round match, Osaka stepped up to the service line in a sea-inspired ensemble. It felt both athletic and dreamlike. According to WWD, the custom look featured a turquoise tie-dye and green racerback tennis dress. It was designed in collaboration with Nike and couture designer Robert Wun. The fluid colors and soft gradients gave the outfit an underwater jellyfish feel.
Osaka further added a zip-up jacket featuring organic, wavy tendrils hanging from the sleeves. These details echoed the jellyfish-inspired theme, while small white butterfly accents appeared across the look and accessories. The butterflies referenced a memorable moment from the 2021 Australian Open. When Osaka gently moved a butterfly off her face mid-match.
Osaka revealed that she had a direct hand in the design, “Nike let me design this one, it’s modeled after a jellyfish.” Ultimately, the custom Robert Wun x Nike design balanced creativity, storytelling, and performance, proving that Osaka continues to push boundaries both as an athlete and as a fashion force.
