Naomi Osaka<\/strong><\/a> hit the court in style at the 2026 French Open – but not everybody was willing to fawn over her dramatic look. <\/span><\/p>\n

German tennis player Laura Siegemund<\/strong> was asked about Osaka’s ensemble after their first-round match on Tuesday, May 26. <\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s something that really doesn’t matter to me,” Siegemund, 38, told TNT Sports<\/a>. “I came here to play tennis, not to put on a fashion show. And if others want to put on a fashion show, then they should go ahead and do it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Osaka walked onto Court Suzanne Lenglen wearing an all-black ensemble featuring a corset and a flowing, pleated skirt. The four-time Grand Slam champion then revealed a gold, sparkly tennis dress underneath that she wore for the match. <\/span><\/p>\n

Siegemund was less than impressed with the theatrics, arguing that Osaka’s outfit simply took too much time to take off. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I find something else problematic,” Siegemund said. “In our sport, at every tournament, they count every second, right up until you’ve unpacked your water bottle. But she can have a minute and a half to change. I have a problem with that, because these rules simply exist and they are what they are – every second is now being watched so closely for us.”<\/span><\/p>\n

She continued, “I also think that with performances like these, every second should be accounted for. That’s the only thing regarding the rules that I don’t think is OK and where, once again, bigger names are treated differently.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Osaka dispatched Siegemund 6-3, 7-6 (3) to advance to the second round. After the match, Osaka was asked about the inspiration behind her look. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Honestly, it’s very couture,” she told reporters. “And also, funny enough, you know the Eiffel Tower at night when it’s, like, sparkly? I kind of think I look like that a little bit.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Osaka acknowledged there was pressure to deliver after her Robert Wun<\/strong>-designed look at the 2026 Australian Open<\/a> went viral. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We were trying to figure out, \u2018How do we even follow up what happened in Australia?'” she said. “I think coming to Paris is really special \u2026 trying to find a designer who understands my style and understands what we’re trying to achieve wasn’t too difficult.”<\/span><\/p>\n

For her French Open garb, Osaka enlisted Swiss designer Kevin Germanier<\/strong>, whom the tennis star credited for making quite the statement on her behalf. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I tell people I don’t talk a lot, so that way I can talk through my clothes,” she explained. “That means I can be as loud with colors or patterns or fabric as I want. That’s the fun part. I feel like we lost that a little in tennis.”<\/span><\/p>\n
