Roland Garros 2024 isn’t just a showcase of world-class tennis; it’s also a dazzling display of style and fashion. As the world’s top WTA players take to the iconic red clay courts, they do so in outfits that blend performance and aesthetics, each representing major brands’ latest innovations. Join me as I present the standout outfits worn by the leading women in tennis, continuing my tradition of Grand Slam fashion overviews, where we explore the intersection of sports and style on the grandest stages.
Naomi Osaka always makes a statement on the court, and her custom black tennis dress by Nike is no exception. This striking outfit features a lower back cutout and a layered skirt with beige pleats peeking out from underneath a perforated black upper section.
The highlight of Naomi’s outfit is undoubtedly the asymmetrical Nike GP Challenge 1 tennis shoe. This masterpiece blends images of strength and power with the mythical allure of dragons and the calming aura of flowers.
World No.1 and three-time Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek introduced a refreshing On outfit, departing from her previous designs that predominantly featured navy, black, white, and the occasional pink. The new ensemble boasts a gradient effect of purple and coral, adding a vibrant twist while maintaining a familiar silhouette with a sporty sleeveless top and skirt. Her On tennis shoes are white with pink accents.
