How Emma Raducanu masters tennis chic style


Emma Raducanu made history as the youngest British player to reach the US Open quarter-finals in 2021.

As a former British number one, Raducanu is the first British woman to win a Grand Slam singles title since Virginia Wade, when she won Wimbledon in 1977.

Born in Toronto, Canada, the 21-year-old's keen interest in fashion has been as notable as her acting, starring in Vogue at the age of 18 and appearing in her first Met Gala in Chanel that same year.

Raducanu, currently ranked 135, is certainly one to watch when it comes to style, as she will make her Wimbledon Center Court debut in 2022 filled with Tiffany jewelery worth an estimated £30,000.

As she returns to the famous gardens, let's take a look back at the star's most stylish moments.

Tiffany pearls at Wimbledon, 2022

Raducanu stepped onto Wimbledon's Centre Court in a Tiffany & Co. jewelry ensemble for her first-round match against Belgian tennis player Alison Van Uytvanck.

The star paired her white outfit with £7,500 teardrop pearl and diamond earrings and a £3,875 necklace from the same collection, while adorning her wrist with a stunning £18,900 Tiffany silver bracelet.

The player's quintessentially classic look was no surprise, as he confirmed a partnership with Tiffany & Co. the previous year, noting, “It's such an iconic brand and one that I've felt connected to for quite some time.” This look was just a precursor to the player's iconic tennis outfit.

Dripping in Dior at Windsor Castle, 2022

At 20, Raducanu was awarded an MBE for her commitment to the sport, just four years after turning professional. Her Dior ensemble was equally deserving of recognition: she sported an elegant black midi dress with lace panels, an oversized belt and black bow shoes. The pièce de résistance was a classic black boater hat.

Having been an ambassador for the fashion house since October 2021, the outfit was a departure from Raducanu's usual sporty aesthetic, nodding to the pure summer trend in a brilliantly classic yet modern look.

Making waves in Melbourne, 2023

At the Australian Open in January 2023, Raducanu rocked head-to-toe Nike in a pair of colorful two-piece sets. One of the gamer's favorite brands, these retro prints were comprised of '80s-style swirls in lilac, deep teal, lemon, and cherry red.

Raducanu's bold decisions allowed her to make it through the first and second rounds of the tournament, losing to American Coco Guaff on the third day. Her perfectly tailored details, from the tips of his sneakers to the hem of her shirt, demonstrated Raducanu's eye for detail in every aspect.

Dopamine dressing in Doha, 2024

“Dopamine dressing” was seen on the runways throughout 2023, with yellow becoming the trend's standard-bearer. Looks that evoked optimism and joy were the foundation of this trend, something Raducanu demonstrated on the court in a bright Nike ensemble at the 2024 Qatar TotalEnergies Open.

This uplifting two-piece was a stylish choice for Raducanu, who kept her spirits up on court, before being eliminated by Ukraine's Anhelina Kalinina.

Raducanu made her appearance as a “Bond girl” at the red carpet premiere of Daniel Craig's latest 007 film, No Time To Die, in September 2021. The tennis pro opted for an asymmetrical iridescent silver dress from Dior's Resort 2022 collection.
