Coco Gauff made a statement in her first Grand Slam match of the year at the 2025 Australian Open, and the No. 3-ranked tennis star also turned heads with her bold fashion in Melbourne.

The 20-year-old debuted her new kit from New Balance and revealed the backless cutout was inspired by Marvel superheroes.

"This outfit, I'm a huge Marvel fan and a lot of the female superheroes have cool cutouts on their outfits, so that's what I wanted to do. New Balance has great designers. It's actually kind of a pain to get into because it is a bodysuit, so I have to put the bottom part on first and pull it over my head, so it's kind of a struggle," Gauff said after the match.

However, she did reveal one struggle: using the restroom.

She joked, "If you can't hold your bladder, it's also not a good idea, but you have to sacrifice for fashion. Then the skirt, I like to wear cargo pants, but obviously I'm not going to play tennis in pants, so we make like a cargo skirt."
