‘I didn’t think I could zip this up’ – Naomi Osaka

Having recently given birth to her baby daughter Shai, who’s not even a year old, an exuberant Osaka was thrilled to fit back into her 2019 US Open outfit. She animatedly shared her excitement by posting a clip on her Instagram handle which was captioned “happy.” The video is titled: “Trying on my outfit from the 2019 US Open” and the clip seems to be from a studio she must have visited for a shoot.

In the clip, a thrilled Osaka can be seen saying, “So this is my US Open 2019 outfit and honestly I didn’t think I could zip this up so I am very excited! I know I am very pumped, it’s giving that clip where Beyonce called Jay Z because she fit back into her gold outfit. I am feeling the exact same way.”

She further, says the outfit is from the limited edition collaboration between Sacai a luxury fashion brand from Japan, and leading sports apparel giant Nike, who is also her sponsor, “Umm you know it’s Sacai! Sacai x Nike!”

Usually reserved, the 26-year-old has blossomed, not only as a four-time Grand Slam title holder but also as a strong creative mind. Sort of a fashion nerd since a young age, she has collaborated many times to produce interesting designs.
