Aryna Sabalenka’s dress, shoes and racquet

Three-time Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka has reached her first Roland Garros final, turning heads in a beautiful turquoise Nike Summer Slam Dress. Part of Nike’s Paris collection, this standout piece features a classic racerback design, a bold back cutout, and sheer mesh inserts that add flair to the flouncy skirt. Finishing touches like the contrast trim and striped waistband bring a playful pop of color.

Sabalenka continues to favor her personalized Nike Zoom NXT tennis shoes, complete with a striking image of a tiger biting the Swoosh. This time she also added a personal touch with mismatched laces: red on one foot and green on the other, a nod to the colors of the Belarusian flag.

Armed with her Wilson Blade 98 18×20 v9, Sabalenka powered her way to her first Roland Garros final, a run that included ending defending champion Iga Swiatek’s 26-match winning streak on the Parisian clay.

Coco Gauff’s dress, shoes and racquet

Coco Gauff's dark dress at Roland Garros 2025

Coco Gauff is steadily evolving into a tennis fashion icon, sporting custom New Balance ensembles that are thoughtfully styled from head to toe. At Roland Garros, the American star debuted two versions of her unique New Balance dress, both crafted in the brand’s dusk shower palette. Featuring an abstract, marble-like print with hints of tie-dye, one version leaned into softer, pastel tones, while the other embraced richer, deeper hues.

The design includes a form-fitting bodice that flows seamlessly into an asymmetrical pleated skirt. The airy fabric enhances comfort and fluidity, while the colorways beautifully highlight Gauff’s complexion. In the quarterfinals against Madison Keys, the 21-year-old added a stylish twist with matching sleeves worn underneath the dress.

No standout look is complete without the perfect finishing touches — and Gauff delivered. She added a touch of urban edge with a cropped, leather-inspired jacket, and her metallic nail polish echoed the cool tones of her outfit. Naturally, her footwear made a bold statement too: she stepped onto the clay in the latest “Grey Day” edition of her signature CG2 tennis shoes.

The women’s singles final between top seed Sabalenka and second seed Gauff is scheduled for Saturday, June 7, 3 p.m. local time. For more insights into the world of Grand Slam gear, be sure to explore our comprehensive Roland Garros fashion overview.
