Aryna Sabalenka debuted her extra-bold Nike Fall Slam Dress on Tuesday as she teamed up with Novak Djokovic for the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship. She paired the unconventional black tennis dress with chunky, colorful jewelry from Material Good, creating her most eye-catching look ever.

Sabalenka and Djokovic fell in the first round, as doubles world No. 1s Katerina Siniakova and Henry Patten rallied to win 1-4 4-2 10-2.
Sabalenka was undoubtedly the most visually striking player on court. Her black fishnet Nike dress featured bright orange shorts and a matching bra that were intentionally visible through the mesh fabric. But the bold styling didn’t stop there.
One year after Sabalenka began her collaboration with jewelry brand Material Good, the partnership came full circle with its most extravagant and vibrant look yet.
The centerpiece was the Prism Necklace, featuring a curated selection of colorful gemstones in a variety of shapes. Weighing an impressive 83.20 total carats, the necklace combines sapphire, tourmaline, garnet, zircon, spinel, chrysoberyl and tanzanite, all set in 18k yellow gold.

Sabalenka completed the look with matching statement earrings. Each earring features a single gemstone stud with a detachable jacket of four additional stones, allowing it to be worn either as a shorter stud or an extended drop earring. Sapphires, spinel, tourmaline and garnet appear in heart, pear, trillion and emerald cuts. The studs and jackets together weigh 15.58 total carats and are also set in 18k yellow gold.
And the revealing dress and jewelry weren’t the only distinctive elements of Sabalenka’s look. She also played with a special-edition Wilson Blade v10 Tiger racquet in her exclusive green tiger-print colorway, adding another signature touch to an already unforgettable US Open outfit.
I don’t mind the dress but I would have thought those heavy dangling earrings would be annoying when playing a serious game of tennis. It will be interesting to see of the wears them when she is actually playing a serious game of tennis.
I thought Sabalenka’s dress looked awful- it would have been much better with all black underneath, the orange was not flattering. The addition of the jewellery made the whole outfit look tacky and ironically, cheap.
One of the worst outfits this year.
Oh how far Nike have fallen.
She has the right to wear what she wants. No other tournament outside of the stuffy UK has a specific dress code. She is an awesome athlete who frequently wins so just leave her be.
No one is questioning her right to wear what she wants, nor is anyone commenting on her athleticism or the frequency of her wins. Comments were specifically directed to the dress she is wearing at this year’s open, which is subjectively terrible.
