The U.S. Open is not just for tennis—it’s also for style. A-listers gather in the stands to show their support, make a statement with what they wear and perhaps answer the perennial question: Is tenniscore still alive and well? Some of the most outstanding looks in the stands at the 2025 edition suggest it is.
With sports and lifestyle crossovers, this year’s edition of the U.S. Open, which runs until September 7, has been all about brand activations, carefully dressed celebrities and capsule collections that celebrate the art of the tennis match. Everyone from Issa Rae to Chanel Iman and Gunna has walked the blue carpet at the U.S. Open so far.

Preppy Chic Shines In The U.S. Open Stands
Polo Ralph Lauren is the “official outfitter” of the U.S. Open, meaning that employees, WAGs and many athletes are decked out in the preppy American brand. Polo Ralph Lauren is the lifestyle sub-brand of Ralph Lauren, focusing on classic American preppy chic sportswear, and the celebrities at the event have worn it best.
Some of the top celebrity styles include Ciara in a blue and white striped dress by Polo Ralph Lauren, while Chase Sui Wonders and Awkwafina were also spotted in fits from the iconic brand. The national anthem was sung by LaChanze, who wore a Ralph Lauren dress with jewelry by Alexis Bittar and shoes by Victoria Beckham. Meanwhile, Tonya Lewis Lee and Spike Lee were wearing Polo Ralph Lauren, too.

Brands Where Tennis Meets Fashion
Tennis-forward fashion brands are everywhere nowadays, beyond your usual fare from Lacoste, Lululemon and Alo. There’s the Courtgirl brand, which is based out of Westport, focusing on tennis accessories for women like bags, towels and visors.

There is also Rose & Born, which offers preppy looks and traditional tennis whites, not to mention L’Etoile Sport, which has a long history on the tennis courts; Billie Jean King wore its fits years ago.
Let’s not forget the retro chic vintage vibes in Parisian brand Casablanca’s sporty fits, nor key pieces from Recreational Habits (its Clubhouse Classics are worth checking out). Meanwhile, the Austin-based lifestyle brand Katie Kime has tennis-themed gear, from its Pajama Set to its Tennis Time wallpaper; now that’s tenniscore.
