Coco Gauff’s Style Evolution Through the Years

Since rising to fame as one of the world’s most prominent young tennis stars, Coco Gauff has consistently shown her flair for fashion. Whether hitting the court in New Balance — with whom she signed a multiyear extension last year — or getting dressed up for an event, she never fails to turn a chic look. Over the years, she has displayed a love of bright hues as well as fun prints and eye-catching sandals.

Attending the WTA 50th Anniversary Gala in New York City on Aug. 25, the No. 4-ranked player looked effortlessly elegant in a silky, yellow-gold cowl neck slip dress. Gauff styled the vibrant gown with strappy gold metallic sandals featuring a sleek, ’90s-inspired square toe.
