In the ever-evolving world of fashion, where style meets sport, Kendall Jenner has once again proven her sartorial prowess. The supermodel and reality TV star graced the U.S. Open men’s finals in New York on Sunday, serving a masterclass in contemporary tennis whites that left fashion aficionados swooning.
As Italian player Jannik Sinner clinched victory over American Taylor Fritz in a thrilling Grand Slam tournament, all eyes were on Jenner’s courtside ensemble. The fashion maven opted to skip the bustling New York Fashion Week schedule, trading the catwalk for the tennis court in a move that speaks volumes about her influence in the industry.
Fresh from conquering the Alaïa runway in a daring tube top, Jenner pivoted to a more demure yet equally captivating look for her Queens outing. Her choice? A corduroy set that could easily be mistaken for a modern reinterpretation of classic tennis whites, paired with a smile that could rival the brightest Centre Court spotlights.
The top, a marvel of tailoring, featured capped sleeves and bold shoulder pads, elevating the simple silhouette with a curved button-up detail and an asymmetrical collar that whispered of avant-garde design. The matching ribbed mini skirt completed the set, offering a contemporary twist on traditional tennis attire that would make Wimbledon’s strict dress code committee raise a collective eyebrow.
But it was Jenner’s accessories that truly set the tone for luxury sportswear. Her ears sparkled with Méga’s gold Half Paper Clip earrings, a subtle nod to the playful side of high fashion. The pièce de résistance? A sleek black top-handle purse from The Row, the brand synonymous with understated opulence. Chimi sunglasses shielded her eyes from the paparazzi flashes, while black ballet flats grounded the look in practical elegance.
For those keeping score in the fashion game, Jenner’s footwear choice deserves special mention. The $990 round-toe pumps from The Row (unofficially dubbed the “rich girl uniform”) added a touch of old-money charm to the ensemble. Her bag, suspected to be Ferragamo’s Iconic Gancini Top-Handle in matching noir leather, further cemented her status as a style icon.
With her trusted stylist Dani Michelle – known for dressing A-listers like Hailey Bieber and Daisy Edgar-Jones – behind the scenes, Jenner’s look was a grand slam of sophistication. Even if she chooses to sit out the remainder of fashion month, this single appearance has set a new benchmark for courtside chic.
In the high-stakes game of fashion, Kendall Jenner has proven once again that she’s not just a player – she’s a reigning champion.
