THE FUSE

Wimbledon has long been the unofficial runway of the tennis calendar. Sure, there’s the backhands and baseline rallies, but just as much attention gets paid to the fashion on Centre Court to the celebrity-lined stands. This year, Naomi Osaka turned heads on court in a Hana Yagi-designed look inspired by traditional Japanese ceremonial dress, while VIPs in the stands swapped predictable preppy uniforms for statement-making silhouettes. The "Wimbledon Whites" dress code has traditionally dictated nearly every stitch players wear on court, but these days, athletes are finding increasingly creative ways to make the classic color palette feel fresh.
