What does Naomi Osaka have under her sleeve next at Wimbledon 2026 – literally?
It’s actually something she’s not sure about, either.
“There’s a couple things I can add [to the walk-on look]”, Osaka explained. “[But] ironically I kind of want to focus on my tennis now, so I might dial back a little bit.”
Dial it back? Osaka?
It’s part logistical, as her looks at the French Open were being made and/or altered mid-tournament. At Wimbledon, her kimono-inspired looks were hand-made in Japan and sent over to London.
“I don’t have that much variation this time around,” she said. “It’s not like [Hana Yagi, the Tokyo-based designer] can make a brand-new thing every time.”
She added: “I have different ways to mix and match it. But my favourite one is the one I’ve worn two times in a row now [pictured, above]. It’s like the free-robe vibe.”
Osaka once again took to court on Sunday (5 July) in a draped, layered Japanese ceremonial-style kimono as she strolled onto Centre Court alongside world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
Osaka dispelled Sabalenka with a straight-set masterclass, meaning she’s into her first career Wimbledon quarter-final.
But will she walk onto court with a new look draped around her shoulders?
We will all have to wait and see.
“I don’t know,” she admitted about her next potential look.
