One of the most jaw-dropping moments of the Australian Open so far was Naomi Osaka unveiling her jellyfish-inspired outfit–a reveal that came as a complete surprise to everyone watching both inside the stadium and around the world on television.<\/p>\n

The former World No.1 partnered with renowned fashion designer Robert Wun to create a new \u201cexoskeletal look<\/a>\u201d concept, which has quickly become one of the biggest talking points of the tournament\u2019s first week.<\/p>\n

The outfit was so impactful that even the current World No.1s on both tours could not escape questions surrounding it, and each shared their opinion on the unique look.<\/p>\n

Asked about it in her post-match press conference<\/a>, Aryna Sabalenka agreed that expressing yourself through fashion is one of the most beautiful things, adding that she would like to explore something similar in the future, not necessarily in style, but in expression.<\/p>\n

\u201cFashion is a beautiful world where you can express yourself fully, and there is no judgment. You know, this is how she sees it, and this is perfect for her, for her culture, just for her personality.\u201d<\/p>\n

ATP World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz echoed a similar sentiment, saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s a great way to express what you feel, without worrying about what others think or say. If you feel something or want to express what you like, go for it. We\u2019ve also seen Naomi do the walk-on in different ways on other occasions. If that\u2019s how she feels, then it\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Spaniard also admitted that while he is probably too shy to pull off something similar, he does use sneakers as a way to express himself, often choosing different pairs depending on his mood and vibe.<\/p>\n
