Coco Gauff arrived at Wimbledon in London on Saturday, giving the classic tennis tournament’s style a streetwear update.
Gauff wore all white in a sports bra, tennis skirt, white socks and white athletic sneakers. Over her ensemble, she added a dark-wash denim jacket for a twist. The U.S. tennis player accessorized with a neon lime-green purse to complete the look.
Gauff’s outfit for the tennis court was in accordance with the formal Wimbledon dress code for female players. Wimbledon had an all-white rule for tennis players right down to their undershorts since 1877.
This yr, the dress code has been modified to permit female players to wear undershorts that aren’t white. Solid, mid/dark-colored undershorts are actually allowed, so long as they are not any longer than the players’ shorts or skirts.
Gauff is just 19 years old but has been knowledgeable tennis player for five years. She is currently the second-highest-ranking U.S. woman on this planet behind her doubles partner Jessica Pegula. Gauff had her Wimbledon debut in 2019. She is the youngest qualifier within the history of the Wimbledon Championships and made it so far as the fourth round, beating tennis legend Venus Williams in her very first game.
The style industry is equally as enthusiastic about Wimbledon as sports fans are. Last week, Gucci hosted a non-public dinner at Mount Saint Restaurant in Mayfair for tennis player and Gucci ambassador Jannik Sinner, who signed on with the brand last yr. Sinner can be competing for the third time on the Wimbledon Championships and already made a fashion splash on the tournament, carrying a Gucci duffle on court for his match. It was the primary time a bag from a luxury brand has appeared on court at Wimbledon. He’s currently ranked at number eight at 21 years old. In June, Louis Vuitton signed Carlos Alcaraz as a brand ambassador. Alcaraz is the highest men’s seed at Wimbledon this yr.
