For her night matches, the four-time Grand Slam champion will don a sophisticated black-and-white outfit infused with Japanese subculture influences. The black dress is beautifully accented with a shiny white bow on the back, which gracefully cascades over four tiers of ruffles. Her bomber jacket, adorned with a striking contrasting bow, is further enhanced by a low hemline finished with delicate tulle lace borders.
The bow theme extends to her footwear, with small bows embellishing the backs of her shoes, adding a playful touch. The white-and-green sneakers were first revealed when Osaka shared a casual photo from a US Open practice session with world No. 1 Iga Swiatek.

For the day sessions, Osaka will sport a green version of the dress, ensuring her style stands out in every match. Nike has also created a mini version of the dress for Osaka’s daughter, Shai, who may be cheering on her mother in New York.
The mastermind behind this unique outfit, Yoon Ahn, co-founded the Tokyo-based label Ambush in 2008 and has been collaborating with Nike since 2018. On August 27, Ahn will launch an eight-piece collection of vintage tennis-inspired clothing for Nike Women, blending her innovative design aesthetic with classic sportswear elements.
Osaka’s first-round opponent at the 2024 US Open will be tenth seed Jelena Ostapenko. Their match is scheduled for Tuesday, during the day session.
