Naomi Osaka defeated Laura Siegemund 6-3 7-6 (7-3) to advance to the second round at the French Open 2026. The four-time Grand Slam champion made a striking appearance in an outfit inspired by "the Eiffel Tower at night" – a black corset with cascading pleated skirt over a glittering gold tennis dress designed by Kevin Germanier and Nike.

Osaka explained her inspiration: "I think I look like the Eiffel Tower at night a little bit." Top seed Aryna Sabalenka praised Osaka's confidence, stating, "I love that she is expressing herself." Osaka admitted Grand Slam walk-ons are the only times she feels like an entertainer.

Since giving birth to her daughter in 2023, Osaka has re-established herself in the world's top 20, reaching the semi-finals at the US Open last September. The former world number one will face Croatia's Donna Vekic in the next round.
