Osaka is renowned for turning heads with her on-court outfits, but making them compatible with Wimbledon’s strict dress code required some special inspiration.
Japan’s four-time major winner paid tribute to her country’s culture by arriving for her opening match at the All England Club in an elegant, full-length kimono.
The ensemble was entirely white to comply with the tournament’s rules.
“When I think about Wimbledon, it’s obviously the all-white dress code. There’s obviously the tradition of it all,” she said following her 6-1, 7-5 victory over French player Elsa Jacquemot.
It comes after the 28-year-old sparkled in a glittering gold tennis dress that resembled “the Eiffel Tower at night” at the French Open.
In January, the tennis star wore a spectacular jellyfish-inspired outfit at the Australian Open.
