While her tennis shone in her first-round US Open victory on Tuesday, it was Naomi Osaka’s outfit – and Labubu accoutrement – which really sparkled in New York.

After 163 previous tries, English golfer Tommy Fleetwood finally secured his first PGA title, winning the Tour Championship at Atlanta’s East Lake Golf Club on Sunday, August 24. But as the 34-year-old athlete was presented the FedEx Cup — and the $10 million prize that comes with it — his much-older wife, Clare, 57, wasn’t there […]

Naomi Osaka didn’t bring the 24-karat gold Labubu at the 2025 U.S Open—but her own little Labubu stole the spotlight.

Naomi’s dad, Leonard, is from Jacmel, Haiti. Inspired by Richard Williams—father of Venus and Serena—he taught his daughters how to play tennis. He told New York Times, “The blueprint was already there. I just had to follow it.” He briefly worked as Naomi’s coach.

Osaka’s longtime hairstylist Marty Harper styled her braids and ponytail while the blinged-out accessories came courtesy of A-Morir, the luxury eyewear and accessory line by designer Kerin Rose Gold. The sparkling roses were 3D printed, per the brand’s Instagram, and the crystal-covered headphones featured metal roses imported from Japan.

Another summed it up with: “Naomi Osaka’s US Open kit is absolutely stunning! She always knows how to make a statement.” Beyond her stylish entrance, Osaka delivered a strong showing in her opening-round match. She defeated Belgium’s Greet Minnen 6-3, 6-4, powering her way into the second round.

Osaka’s performance against Minnen was nothing short of impressive. The former world number one sent down seven aces, demonstrating her powerful serve and control on the court. Her ability to convert all six of her break points exemplified her aggressive playstyle and strategic mindset.

Naomi Osaka opened her US Open campaign with a confident straight-sets win over Belgian star Greet Minnen, but it wasn’t her brilliant tennis on the court that stole the spotlight; her red Labubu doll attached to her Nike bag also hogged the limelight.

Naomi Osaka 's parents, Leonard Francois and Tamaki Osaka, introduced her to tennis. The couple first met in the '90s when Leonard was visiting Japan as a college student and Tamaki was finishing high school. The pair began dating, but kept their relationship a secret from her family.
