Osaka's Kimono Statement at Wimbledon 2026

Naomi Osaka has been using fashion to express herself and represent her heritage at Wimbledon 2026, wearing a white kimono that pays tribute to her Japanese roots. "When I think about Wimbledon, it's obviously the all white. There's obviously the tradition of it all. In my head, when I think about that, I think about my cultures, my heritage, which is Japanese and Haitian," she told the BBC.

On day seven of the tournament, Djokovic, Sabalenka, Sinner, and Gauff remain in action, while former champions Swiatek and Rybakina have been eliminated. Osaka noted that "you don't have to see the colour of a kimono to know that it is a kimono," emphasizing how the silhouette represents her cultural identity within Wimbledon's traditional all-white dress code. biznow.biz
