Naomi Osaka continues to dominate the outfit game at the 2026 US Open, delivering another unforgettable fashion moment in a custom Monse x Nike ensemble styled by Law Roach.
For her third-round match against Elise Mertens, Osaka entered Louis Armstrong Stadium wearing a gray deconstructed look that brilliantly combined corporate tailoring, streetwear and athletic fashion.
The dramatic outfit featured an oversized gray plaid blazer layered over a casual zip-front hoodie. She paired it with extremely wide-leg trousers constructed from contrasting gray fabrics. Traditional tailoring appeared on one side, while soft sweatshirt material and snap-button detailing transformed the other.
The unexpected combination captured Monse’s signature approach to deconstruction while reflecting Nike’s connection to performance and sports culture.
Boardroom Style Meets the Tennis Court
The custom Monse x Nike creation looked as though a business suit and a classic sweatsuit had been cut apart and reconstructed into one statement-making outfit.
Osaka carried her Yonex tennis bag over one shoulder as the oversized trousers moved dramatically around her Nike sneakers. The exaggerated proportions gave the entrance runway energy while maintaining the relaxed attitude associated with basketball and streetwear.
Once Osaka reached the court, she removed the outer layers to reveal a streamlined black Nike tank with contrasting gray trim. The performance top was styled with another pair of sweeping gray trousers, continuing the oversized fashion story before she transitioned completely into match mode.
The look was polished, unconventional and perfectly suited to Osaka’s evolving US Open fashion narrative.
Styled by Law Roach
Celebrity stylist Law Roach confirmed the collaboration, describing the look as “Custom Monse x Nike.”
Roach has helped transform Osaka’s 2026 US Open appearances into a continuing fashion presentation. Instead of relying on one signature outfit for the tournament, the pair have created a series of distinct walk-on moments that connect American fashion, athletic culture and Osaka’s personal style.
Earlier in the tournament, Osaka honored NBA legend Allen Iverson with a dramatic custom Who Decides War entrance and a basketball-inspired Nike playing kit. Fashion Sizzle explored the full story behind Naomi Osaka’s Allen Iverson-inspired US Open playing look.
She also recreated Allen Iverson’s iconic “No Rain, No Flowers” portrait, recognizing the basketball legend’s influence on fashion, hip-hop culture and athlete self-expression.
Naomi Osaka Is Creating a Grand Slam Fashion Legacy
Osaka has made fashion an important part of her Grand Slam identity.
At Roland Garros, she delivered a spectacular custom Germanier x Nike fashion moment featuring dramatic couture-inspired outerwear and a shimmering performance dress.
She later celebrated her Japanese heritage at Wimbledon in a custom Hana Yagi ensemble inspired by ceremonial dress.
Before the US Open competition began, Osaka also transformed the tennis center into her personal fashion set while wearing an archival Dolce & Gabbana minidress. See how Naomi Osaka turned the 2026 US Open into her personal fashion runway.
Each appearance has presented a different side of Osaka: glamorous, playful, culturally connected, rebellious and fashion-forward.
Osaka Wins in Style
The custom Monse x Nike entrance was followed by a determined performance on the court. Osaka defeated Elise Mertens 6–3, 3–6, 7–5 to advance to the fourth round, overcoming discomfort from an ongoing Achilles problem during the hard-fought match. Reuters reported the match result and injury details.
From Who Decides War to Thom Browne and now Monse, Osaka is using the 2026 US Open to celebrate American design while expanding the possibilities of tennis style.
The court may be built for competition, but Naomi Osaka continues to treat every entrance like a runway—and her outfit game remains undefeated.
