A glamorous black gown, a shimmering gold outfit: Naomi Osaka transformed her entrance onto the Suzanne-Lenglen court into a fashion show. At Roland-Garros, her look sparked as much ovation as criticism.<\/p>\n
Before her first-round match against Germany's Laura Siegemund, Naomi Osaka made a striking entrance onto Court Suzanne-Lenglen. The Japanese player appeared draped in a long black dress, worthy of a red carpet, designed by Swiss fashion designer Kevin Germanier. Once on the Parisian clay, the four-time Grand Slam champion removed her dress to reveal her match outfit: a shimmering gold ensemble.<\/p>\n
In just over an hour, the video posted by the tournament's official social media accounts had already surpassed 140,000 views and garnered some 2,000 likes. No stranger to making a splash at Grand Slam tournaments, Naomi Osaka seems to have fully embraced her status as a fashion icon, which now extends far beyond the realm of sports. With a touch of humor, she confessed that while trying on her dress, she felt like "the Eiffel Tower flashing at midnight," even worrying that the sun's reflections might bother the umpire. <\/p>\n
