Chris Evert sends rare message to Naomi Osaka as Japanese turns up the glamour at Milan Fashion Week

Tennis legend Chris Evert and American player Taylor Townsend reacted to Naomi Osaka's recent appearance at Milan Fashion Week. Osaka drew attention wearing a soft pink Valentino Haute Couture gown adorned with butterfly-shaped beadwork, alongside an appearance in Vogue World: Milano.

The fashion showcase follows Osaka's outfits at the 2026 US Open, where she reached the Round of 16 before losing to Elena Rybakina. Osaka is next scheduled to compete at the China Open in Beijing, which begins on September 28.
