Coco Gauff’s style has evolved alongside her tennis. Once known for an endless rotation of hoodies, the 21-year-old is now regarded as one of the most fashion-forward players on the Hologic WTA Tour. She has made a point of wearing a new look at every tournament in 2025, and her on-court outfits have drawn strong reactions throughout the season.
Fashion and Performance: Coco Gauff’s Unique Expression
Gauff says her wardrobe choices are driven by how she feels each day, which makes advance planning rare. The hoodie habit that defined her early years faded in her late teens; these days she reaches for one mostly when traveling. She now treats clothing as a way to express herself, both on and off the court.
Her rise in fashion mirrors her success in competition. Ranked No. 3 in the world, Gauff owns two Grand Slam titles and has already secured her place at the year-end WTA Finals in Riyadh, where she is the defending champion. She arrives at the Wuhan Open after a semifinal run in Beijing, where she fell in straight sets to eventual champion Amanda Anisimova.
In Wuhan, the final WTA 1000 event of 2025, Gauff received a first-round bye and will begin her campaign against unseeded Moyuka Uchijima in the second round. The reigning French Open champion enters the week aiming to carry both her form and her confident new look into the closing stretch of the season.
As Gauff continues to blend her athletic prowess with a keen sense of style, it’s clear that her journey is not just about winning matches but also about making a statement in the world of sports fashion. By embracing her individuality, she inspires young athletes to express themselves both on and off the court.
