Tennis star Coco Gauff was turning heads at the 97th Oscars when she rocked a stunning yellow gown for her red carpet debut at the event.

Coco rocked "a custom Miu Miu yellow cady gown with crystal embroidery finished with silver metallic leather sandals," along with eye-catching diamond earrings and a gold Rolex Datejust for the appearance.

She later explained she is "not used to this glam" while speaking to comedian Amelia Dimoldenberg during a red carpet interview.

"It was a lot. Hair, makeup, the whole do. I play tennis, so I'm not used to this glam, but it's nice to get dressed for the day," Gauff explained. "Definitely. But more like when it comes to on-court stuff. Off the court, I mean like, board games and stuff, of course. Uno, I get into a lot of fights for that, but this, I'm just here for the vibes, just enjoying it and just trying to take it all in."
