Naomi Osaka is “just a girl” and we love it. ✨
Osaka’s not just winning matches at the U.S. Open... she’s winning hearts with her courtside sidekick: the viral Labubu plush. 🐰
The four-time major champ has toted a different Labubu on her bag in every match so far, from “Billie Jean Bling” (👑 a nod to tennis legend Billie Jean King) to “Arthur Flashe” (🔥 after Arthur Ashe). And on Monday, she pulled out her latest sparkly star, “Althea Glitterson,” honoring Althea Gibson 75 years after she broke tennis’s color barrier. 💫
Oh, and ICYMI: Osaka hasn’t lost once with a Labubu by her side: including her 6–3, 6–2 win over Coco Gauff. 👀
Talk about a lucky charm. ⭐
