Sabalenka dazzles in 127‑carat dress, turning US Open into runway

Aryna Sabalenka stepped onto the US Open courts in a striking new look that turned heads on Tuesday. She wore a sheer mesh Nike tennis dress with contrasting white seams, layered over a bright orange sports bra and matching shorts.

The outfit was paired with an impressive array of jewelry from New York‑based jeweler Material Good, which has been her go‑to partner for major tournaments.

The jewelry set—necklace, bracelet, and drop earrings—collectively featured more than 127 carats of colored stones, including sapphires, tourmaline, garnet, zircon, spinel, chrysoberyl and tanzanite.

Material Good described the design as drawing from New York’s colorful spirit and unmistakable energy, using gemstones sourced worldwide to mirror the city’s multicultural heritage. This ensemble made Sabalenka one of the most dazzling doubles pairs on court that day.

Sabalenka’s partnership with Material Good began in January, when she became the brand’s first ambassador.

In a press release she said, “Jewelry is a way that I express myself, both on and off the court, and this partnership felt like a natural next step in my style evolution.” She added, “Working with Material Good allows me to celebrate my creativity in a new way, completing my look through jewelry that feels intentional and modern.”

## Background & Context

Prior to the US Open, Sabalenka has repeatedly used Material Good’s pieces to highlight each tournament’s distinct character. In May, she appeared at the French Open wearing more than 125 carats of garnets, a nod to Roland‑Garros’ iconic red clay.

At Wimbledon in June, the Belarusian dazzled in an emerald suite that drew inspiration from the grass courts and her birthstone. The jewels were designed to echo the green surface and her personal heritage.

The collaboration extends beyond mere adornment; Sabalenka has worked with Material Good on a special capsule collection that reflects her evolving style across different stages of her career.

## What People Are Saying

Material Good’s description of the US Open jewels highlights the brand’s intent to capture New York’s vibrant spirit.

“Design elements were drawn from New York’s colorful spirit and unmistakable energy — the grit and edge that define the city — utilizing gemstones with origins from all over the world, directly mirroring NYC’s multicultural melting pot heritage,” the brand wrote online of Sabalenka’s “Silhouette Suite.”

Fans and commentators noted that the sheer mesh dress, combined with the opulent jewelry, created a striking contrast between athleticism and luxury. The bright orange sports bra and shorts provided a vivid backdrop to the multicolored stones.

Sabalenka’s teammates and opponents alike praised her bold fashion choices, with some suggesting that her style could become a new standard for tournament attire. Observers noted that the partnership between an athlete and a luxury jeweler is increasingly common in the tennis world.

## What Happens Next

Sabalenka will continue to compete in the US Open doubles draw, potentially pairing with new partners as the tournament progresses. Her appearance with Material Good’s jewelry will likely be replicated at subsequent tournaments where the brand has a presence.
