Naomi Osaka is tennis' golden girl!

The Grand Slam champion, 28, dazzled on the clay courts at the 2026 French Open, stepping out in a head-turning ensemble to eventually reveal a sizzling surprise after stripping her outer layer ahead of her first-round match on Tuesday, May 26.

Osaka, who ultimately ousted Laura Siegemund to advance to the second round, arrived to the tournament wearing a black corset and floor-length pleated skirt to match. Both pieces were designed by Kevin Germanier, a couturier who creates with upcycled materials.

"Court-ture," wrote the tennis star in her Instagram caption, a play on words to coincide with her fashion-forward outfit worn to the prestigious Slam, also known as the Stade Roland Garros.

After Osaka made her entrance in the black sequin-covered gown, she removed the Germanier-designed number to unveil a striking gold minidress by Nike that she wore during competition against Siegemund.

The sparkling garment glistened in the Paris sunlight, shining bright from every angle on the court as she served and struck the tennis ball during her match. The dress had a high neck on top, complete with a tiered, ruffled skirt featuring strips of sequins on the bottom.

"I feel like fashion, for me, I tell people, I don't talk a lot, so that way I can talk through my clothes. That means I can be as loud with colors or patterns or fabric as I want,” Osaka said in a press conference at the French Open.

"That's the fun part, you know," she continued. "I feel like we lost that a little in tennis. I always tell people I grew up with Serena's and Venus' grand reveals. I literally can look at a picture and probably tell you what year that outfit came from."

"I know there are some kids or some people that are similar to me that hopefully feel that same way about my outfits," she said, adding, "But, yeah, I am a little dramatic when it comes to my fashion sense."

Osaka has turned the tennis courts into her runway over the years, fearless of taking risks when it comes to fashion. Her jellyfish-inspired look at the Australian Open and her color-changing leopard kit at the BNP Paribas Open are among her most memorable from the 2026 season alone.

Away from the court, Osaka — who has four Grand Slam titles to her name, including two U.S. Open (2018, 2020) and two Australian Opens (2019, 2021) — made a sartorial statement at the biggest night in fashion upon her return to the 2026 Met Gala.

The mom of one wore a head-turning, two-part look when she hit the steps at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May 4, dripping in "blood"-covered details and symbolism that aligned with the human body.

Next, Osaka takes on Donna Vekić of Croatia on Wednesday, May 27.
