Tennis powerhouse Naomi Osaka channeled timeless menswear inspiration at GQ’s Men of the Year celebration, proving her mastery extends beyond the court to fashion’s center court.
Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka traded her tennis whites for sophisticated noir at GQ’s star-studded Los Angeles affair. The sports icon and fashion maverick channeled Annie Hall meets Saint Laurent in a masterfully curated ensemble. Her crisp Prada poplin blouse, paired with perfectly tailored The Row black trousers, created a foundation of understated luxury. The addition of a rebellious Bottega Veneta tie and a structured Hermès felt fedora transformed the look from simple to statement-making. Grounding the ensemble were rugged yet refined Prada combat boots in a rich cognac leather, adding an unexpected edge to her polished appearance.
The genius lies in the subtle subversion of menswear codes. The loose tie and oversized hat create a deliberate nonchalance that feels both calculated and effortlessly cool. The brown boots provide a crucial breaking point in the monochrome palette, preventing the look from feeling too severe.
