It’s all aboard the swag train to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens, where the year’s final Grand Slam tourney—and summer’s most stylish sporting event—has been underway for the past two weeks. The US Open sees the world’s top tennis players face off across the famed blue courts of Arthur Ashe Stadium, but in recent years, it’s also become a prime opportunity for players and celebrities alike to show off their summer fits.
Given the tournament’s NYC base—and all of the attendant fashion and celebrity clout—the US Open has long had a reputation as a showcase for late-summer style, both on the court and in the stands. Last year’s event raised the bar significantly, thanks to a bumper crop of sweet tennis merch, a raft of turned-out celebrity attendees, and an unfortunate incident of Who Wore It Better courtesy of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
It’s been a wild ride over the past week on the courts, where Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton continue to dominate the competition. Elsewhere, a parade of athletes, actors, and media personalities from Billie Jean King to Fetty Wap have posed for fit pics. This week’s highlights have included Olympic athletes decked out in Ralph Lauren, Christian Slater sporting a handsome knit polo, and (naturally) another huge Naomi Osaka fit.
As impressive as those are, we have a feeling that NYC’s most stylish (plus whoever is flying in for the occasion) are saving their best looks for the men’s and women’s singles finals on Saturday and Sunday. Here are some of the best looks thus far.
