Naomi Osaka's Eye-Catching Labubu Dolls Light Up the US Open's Style Scene

At the US Open, the spotlight wasn't solely on the tennis talent; Naomi Osaka's dazzling Labubu dolls added a unique sparkle to the event.

This week in New York City, Osaka captivated audiences not only with her tennis skills but also with her charming collection of Labubu figures, owning at least a pair.

These are no ordinary Labubus—decked out with jewel-like embellishments and wielding miniature tennis rackets. The 27-year-old athlete shared that she has creatively named them after renowned American tennis icons.

Introducing her first Labubu, Osaka quipped to a journalist on August 26, "This is my Labubu named Billie Jean Bling," holding back a giggle. "Distinct from Billie Jean King, it's Billie Jean Bling."

Billie Jean King, now 81, is an iconic figure in tennis history with 39 Grand Slam victories.

Osaka's Labubu was adorned with vibrant red rhinestones from its sharply tipped ears down to its feet, and its racket gleamed with deep blue jewels.

For her match, Osaka graced the court in a shimmering red Nike outfit complemented by rhinestone-studded roses interwoven into her braids, emerging victorious over Belgian athlete Greet Minnen.

On Thursday, during her encounter with Hailey Baptiste from the US, Osaka introduced the audience to the second member of her Labubu collection.

Dressed in a glittering purple Nike gown, Osaka showcased her second Labubu to the press, saying, "This is my daytime Labubu."

She continued, "We've decided it's a he, named Arthur Flash—like Arthur Ashe, yet with a dash of flair," which elicited applauds from onlookers. Ashe, a celebrated American tennis pro, famously claimed three Grand Slam singles championships.

The second doll dangled from her bag, bedazzled in hues of white, blue, and purple rhinestones.

Osaka joins a select group of celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, Rihanna, and K-pop idols such as Blackpink's Lisa, who have been seen with these fashionable toys by Chinese company Pop Mart.
