Naomi Osaka’s Show-Stopping Wimbledon Debut in a White Kimono Gown Inspired by Kill Bill
Naomi Osaka broke Wimbledon’s all-white dress code with a custom, floor-length kimono gown titled “Evolving Ceremony.” Designed by Tokyo-based Hana Yagi, the garment features seven upcycled textiles from vintage Japanese kimonos and a traditional shiromuku bridal dress. A structured obi belt cinches the waist, while elongated square sleeves and a layered tulle skirt create a dramatic silhouette. The hand-embroidered robe depicts cranes and cherry blossoms, and Osaka completed the look with diamond and pearl jewelry from Mikimoto and a kanzashi floral hair ornament. Inspired by Lucy Liu’s O-Ren Ishii character in Kill Bill, the nine detachable layers allowed Osaka to switch into a custom white Nike performance dress in under sixty seconds. She followed her opening win with the obi belt styled over a Nike bomber jacket for round two.
