Naomi Osaka stuns at Met Gala between Rome and Madrid tournaments
Tennis star Naomi Osaka made a bold statement at this year’s Met Gala, calling the event the Grand Slam for all fashion. The four-time Grand Slam champion, currently ranked No. 16, balanced high-profile matches with high fashion—attending the gala between tournaments in Madrid and Rome. Osaka arrived in a striking Robert Wun creation: a white sculptural dress covered in red feathers. Underneath, she revealed a sleek red beaded gown, paired with a matching headpiece and two-toned red gloves. Despite the dramatic look, she later admitted the outfit felt like a 20-pound vest on.
Just days before, she had opened her Italian Open campaign with a hard-fought 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win over Eva Lys. The former world No. 1 managed to juggle competition and couture, proving her versatility both on and off the court.
Osaka’s Met Gala appearance came amid a busy tournament schedule. Her victory in Rome showed she remains focused on tennis, even while embracing fashion’s biggest night. The outfit’s weight didn’t slow her down—she’s already back in action.
