AustraliaJapanese tennis star Naomi Osaka drew inspiration from NBA legend Allen Iverson for her dramatic entrance at the 2026 US Open. Osaka wore a custom outfit featuring a white tulle skirt, a grey terry hoodie adorned with charred newspaper clippings of her achievements, cornrows, and compression sleeves, elements associated with Iverson. The design was created by New York-based label Who Decides War and styled by Law Roach. Osaka cited Iverson's influence in merging sports, culture, and fashion, noting his impact on the NBA's embrace of hip-hop culture. This look aligns with Osaka's broader identity as both a tennis champion and a prominent figure in the fashion world.
