Naomi Osaka just made her highly-anticipated #Wimbledon2026 entrance in an all-white gown inspired by the traditional kimono.

The look, entitled “Evolving Ceremony,” was created by Japanese designer Hana Yagi. It was made from materials upcycled from vintage kimonos, a traditional shiromuku wedding dress, and a deconstructed wedding dress.

"For me, I find fashion to be really fun. You guys all look for beautiful and I kind of want to come out in something to. To me, my Japanese heritage means a lot. They said all white in Wimbledon and I thought it'd be really cute to come out in a Kimono. I just get inspired by a lot of different things." said Naomi.

"One of my favorite movies is Kill Bill. I really love Lucy Liu's character, O-ren Ishii. She comes out in this really iconic white Kimono. I always tell people I like to be like a video character sometimes, I don't want to be myself when I'm playing on the court and I tried to embody her a little." she explained.

Naomi Osaka looked absolutely regal, gorgeous and stunning, as always ♥️👑🎾
