Cartoon: What a serve!

Grace Stiefel, Staff Writer • August 29, 2024

Japanese professional tennis player Naomi Osaka strives to bring her unique style to her return to the US Open after unveiling two custom-made outfits. Her first ensemble presented a black bomber jacket with a large bow pinned to the back. She sported a poofy skirt in the same color, layered with tiers of ruffles and frills. Osaka said her love for maximalism and the “Lolita goth” style inspired the outfit. Her second outfit, which she wore to her first match, showed a matching aesthetic to the first, with bows and more of her maximalist spirit. Osaka said that she often feels like she transforms when she steps onto the court, which is reflected in her unique outfits. Her originality and resolution to express herself make her stand out and encourage others to show off their interests. If Osaka can represent herself through garments created for motion and athleticism, others can do the same through everyday attire. (Grace Stiefel)
