Naomi Osaka has sparked a fashion frenzy at the Australian Open with her jellyfish-inspired outfit, a bold creation that has tennis fans buzzing online. The 28-year-old Japanese star strode onto Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 20 January for her first-round match, wearing a custom Nike ensemble featuring a turquoise and green tie-dye zip-up with frilly tendrils, a pleated miniskirt over wide-legged white trousers, an oversized hat with a gauzy veil, and a parasol adorned with butterflies.
She edged past Croatia's Antonia Ruzic 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 in a gritty encounter that lasted over two hours. As of 21 January 2026, the look—her most theatrical yet—has drawn both praise and puzzlement, hardly a surprise given Osaka's history of pushing tennis style boundaries.
