Coco Gauff turns heads at the Australian Open with a Marvel superheroes-inspired outfit, featuring striking cutouts and an open-back bodysuit she admits is a challenge to manage. ‘You have to sacrifice for fashion,’ Gauff joked about the intricate New Balance design. She completes the look with her signature New Balance CG2 tennis shoes in a fresh white-and-green colorway.
Naomi Osaka brought a burst of sunshine to the tournament in a custom sunflower-inspired outfit by Nike. While her attire features sleek black, brown, and silver tones, her sunflower-themed accessories—hair clips, earrings, and the standout Nike GP Challenge 1 Osaka Sundial/Brown shoes—tie the look together.
The shoes, with their sundial yellow and brown hues and sunflower details on the tongues, perfectly embody her radiant theme.
Nike athletes not sporting custom designs are showcasing the new Melbourne collection, highlighted by its distinctive strappy top layer over the dress, as seen here on Madison Keys‘ Nike Spring Melbourne Dress.
Nike stars opting for separates, like Emma Raducanu, are wearing the Nike Spring Melbourne Tank paired with either the Nike Spring Melbourne Pleated Skirt or the Nike Spring Melbourne Skort.
Without a clothing sponsor, Destanee Aiava became the fashion sensation of the tournament, reviving iconic 2010s WTA styles once worn by legends like Maria Sharapova, Ana Ivanovic, and Caroline Wozniacki.
Adidas entered 2025 with bold red, sheer, and cutout designs, as seen on Karolina Muchova in the striking Adidas Melbourne Wow Pro Dress.

The shaped hem adds a touch of sporty sophistication to this modern look.
Wilson embraces bold red with Marta Kostyuk‘s Tour Perforated Dress, crafted from soft, compressive fabric that wicks sweat and dries quickly.
