Partnering with Tokyo-based designer Hana Yagi, Naomi arrived for her opening-round match wearing an all-white look inspired by the traditional Japanese kimono. Titled Evolving Ceremony, the design was created using materials upcycled from vintage kimonos, a traditional shiromuku wedding dress and a deconstructed wedding gown.
