As much as Naomi Osaka's special outfit at the 2026 Australian Open was discussed, it was equally noteworthy that the brand didn't invest as much in Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one. The Belarusian addressed this in a press conference: "I wish Nike would let me do these kinds of things, but not this year. We're working on it, but I don't know, I think it would be more of an elegant entrance. Perhaps, I don't know, a long coat or... I'm fantasizing, trying to figure it out, but it's not enough yet, but I'm sure I'll come up with something great next year."

With a unique outfit, including that hat with hanging fabrics or an umbrella, the Japanese player left everyone speechless, adding a surprising element to her participation in this Australian Open 2026.

Impressive to say the least was Naomi Osaka's track debut at the 2026 Australian Open with a unique outfit that left no one indifferent. Aryna Sabalenka shared her perspective on that outfit: "The beauty of fashion is that you can express yourself in any way. It's a very free world, no judgments. There are just those who see fashion one way and others another, that's why it's so beautiful that you can feel free and show yourself, display your personality. I think it fit perfectly with her personality, her culture, and many things. It was great."

Naomi Osaka had to work hard to start with a victory in this Australian Open 2026, as she went to three sets against Antonia Ruzic (6-3, 3-6, 6-4). However, the Japanese player was already in the news before the match due to the outfit she wore to Rod Laver, hat included. An outfit of that style had never been seen before, and after her victory, she wanted to explain it: "This outfit is now iconic. Nike allowed me to design it. It is inspired by a jellyfish. I am very grateful to be able to do what I love. It's really beautiful. There is a butterfly on the hat. There is also a butterfly on the umbrella. It is related to the Australian Open that I won in 2021, which I guess was a long time ago," confessed the Japanese player, who always leaves no one indifferent.
