Naomi Osaka made a dazzling appearance at the 2025 Australian Open, not only with her powerful performance but also with a standout fashion statement. Competing in her first-round match against Caroline Garcia on Rod Laver Arena, the Japanese lit up the night with a custom sunflower-inspired outfit designed by Nike. The ensemble was more than just stylish—it was a tribute to the “Happy Slam.”

Osaka’s outfit, though primarily in black, brown, and silver, radiated sunshine through her sunflower-themed accessories. Her braided hair featured sunflower clips, complemented by sunflower earrings, tying her entire look together. But the true highlight of her ensemble was on her feet: the Nike GP Challenge 1 Osaka Sundial/Brown Women’s Shoes. These shoes perfectly captured the floral theme with their sundial yellow and brown tones, accented by unique sunflower details on the tongues.
With the Australian Open setting the stage, it’ll be interesting to see what blooms next at Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open, as Osaka revealed plans for a flower-themed shoe at every Grand Slam this year.
Returning to Rod…
