Clay Couture: The best and worst fashion moments from Roland Garros 2025

From player-designed custom kits to meme-worthy colorways and heritage-inspired pieces, this year’s Roland Garros blurred the lines between sport and style more than ever before.

Across brands like Nike, Wilson, Yonex, K-Swiss and more, players have served up looks that ranged from sleek minimalism to runway-ready statements.

Whether it was Naomi Osaka’s sakura-themed set, Jannik Sinner’s internet-breaking “Luigi” outfit, or Taylor Townsend debuting her own line, here’s a roundup of all the best and worst of tennis fashion in Paris:

Victoria Mboko & Alycia Parks

For its 2025 Roland Garros collection, the Wilson design team threw it back all the way to the 1999 tournament with ‘sun-kissed shades that look incredible on red clay’—as seen on Canada’s Victoria Mboko and United States’ Alycia Parks.

“That was really the main goal, not just to pull from this historic moment, but to make sure that everything we do looks incredible on the red clay surface,” says Joelle Michaeloff, Wilson’s VP of Design (Sportswear).

Marta Kostyuk

Wilson’s first head-to-toe player Marta Kostyuk sported a special ‘Chinois Green’ colorway of her signature Updown Court Dress.

“Our goal is to design sportswear with technology so stealth all you see is a style you want to wear every single day,” Michaeloff says.

“Rather than have it scream technology, we hide performance tech—embedding it in everything we do, making every single item we create functional and ready to sweat.”

Jannik Sinner & Karen Khachanov

It’s the blue and green outfit that launched a thousand “Luigi” memes, worn by world No. 1 Jannik Sinner. But did you know there’s a “Mario” version too? Fellow Nike rep Karen Khachanov wore the red version of the NikeCourt Slam Polo and Short in Paris.

“No, it’s nice, you know?” Sinner told Tennis.com of the online chatter.

"I feel like sometimes we need to see the funny part as well. It’s something different, and it’s also nice sometimes to change things up—if not, it gets too boring."

Carlos Alcaraz

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz went with a white, black, and cyan version of Nike’s Slam Advantage crew shirt and matching black shorts. Before and after matches, he also added a rugby-inspired long sleeve polo to the mix.

But early in the tournament, all the buzz was about Alcaraz flying in his personal barber for a mid-tournament haircut.

"I think everybody saw my hair, my beard. So I had to do something, about it," Alcaraz grinned during the post-match press conference.

"I know people are not used to see myself getting a haircut during the matches," he added. "I think that's why the people was a little bit surprised, but I think that's something normal."

Naomi Osaka

Japanese for “cherry blossom,” Naomi Osaka said her outfit was inspired by her country’s sakura season—the second of four flower-inspired kits she’s created for this year’s Grand Slams.

“I'm really excited about the kit, because I designed it. I don't know why Nike is letting me do this stuff!" she told Tennis.com during a pre-tournament interview.

“I don't know if you can see from all the way over here, but I did my nails and they're sakura-themed too,” she added. “I'm really sticking to the flower story that we have.”

Aryna Sabalenka

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka stood out from fellow Nike athletes in a cyan blue version of the Paris Slam Dress.

Fans also noticed a new detail: her Nike shoes now feature her signature tiger motif—a nod to her nickname and forearm tattoo. The Swoosh has already released the first piece of Sabalenka-themed merch, spotted on Mirra Andreeva during a joint practice session, with more likely on the way.

Zheng Qinwen & Mirra Andreeva

Nike's reps Zheng Qinwen and Mirra Andreeva took contrasting approaches to their Roland Garros outfits—to equally stylish results.

“This outfit is supposed to be for on-court, but I’m too shy to do it!” Zheng told Tennis Channel of the long bordeaux-red skirt. “I want to look more normal, and not too ‘fashion’ before I jump in the match!” China's No. 1 wore the skirt and long-sleeved warmup top to all her media appearances, instead.

Andreeva, meanwhile, was all in after getting over her own initial hesitation: “Honestly, I can’t imagine people playing their actual matches in this kind of long skirt!” Andreeva told Tennis.com. “I love that Nike had an idea to try and bring out this classic vibe from, like, (many) years ago.”

Elena Rybakina & Casper Ruud

Yonex athletes including Elena Rybakina and Casper Ruud showcased the brand’s 2025 Paris Collection featuring peppermint green and dark navy. The pieces featured breathable mesh paneling and a subtle geometric design that contrasted nicely with the red-orange terre-battue.

Andrey Rublev

Andrey Rublev took the court in a one-of-a-kind K-Swiss kit and debuted the new K-Frame Speed Rublo shoes in light green and black.

“I explained everything that I would like to see, then they did the design," Rublev told Tennis.com. "I said that I really like it, that this is the design I would like to play, and then they made the shoes...

“I like them really a lot, feeling-wise and looking-wise. For a long time, (they’re) one of my favorite looking shoes.”

Coco Gauff

Former Roland Garros finalist Coco Gauff brought out two looks: a blue-gray dress with a racerback bodice and asymmetrical pleated skirt, and a darker version of the same outfit.

But it was her off-court fashion that drew extra buzz—particularly the chic Vanson Leathers jacket she wore before and after every match.

“I saw (the jacket) this week and I was like, Oh, wow, that's fire… I think it's cool," Gauff told Tennis.com. “I feel like it matches the Parisian vibe here, and it just makes me feel super powerful going onto the court."

Frances Tiafoe

"Big Foe" is making big strides on clay—and even bigger waves at Roland Garros. While his game turned heads en route to his first major clay-court quarterfinal, his courtside style made a splash too.

As a Lululemon global brand ambassador, Tiafoe sported a fully coordinated royal blue look from the brand’s men’s tennis collection in “pool party” blue. Even his K-Swiss Ultrashot 4 shoes matched the palette.

Taylor Townsend

Two-time Grand Slam champ Taylor Townsend turned heads with a new one-of-a-kind outfit—and it’s from her own collection.

“I’m debuting my new logo and my new line, I’m making custom things now!” Townsend told Tennis Channel’s Prakash Amritraj.

“I’m No. 2 in the world in doubles and I don’t have a clothing sponsor, so I was like, why not take it into my own hands and do my own thing?”
