Outside of the incredibly high-level play and the upsets and the locale and the delicious Honey Deuces … the next best part of the U.S. Open is the fashion. Indeed, the tennis major has become quite the scene for New York’s trendiest celebrities and A-listers, all of whom roll up to Flushing Meadows donning their chicest closet staples for the most Instagrammable fits. That fashion-forward mindset then manifests down on the court as well, as the sport’s brightest stars continue to push the boundaries of what we thought possible for athletic wear.
Although every athlete certainly looked the part—and although their stellar play is the true U.S. Open story worth following—there have still been a few outfits this year we can’t get out of our heads. (All in the women's draw, of course; as much as we love those in the men's bracket, their sartorial prowess has not yet caught up to the innovations happening on the ladies' side.)
