Naomi Osaka refuses to back down on French Open 'fashion show' which is infuriating rivals, as she flaunts £7.5m-a-year deal dress in front of the Eiffel Tower – hours before return to court

Naomi Osaka made yet another stunning entrance at the French Open today as she walked on to court with a beige train attached to her ‘Eiffel Tower’ dress, as she rallies against criticism of the tournament turning into a ‘fashion show’.

The Japanese star stunned crowds for her last match in a flowing black skirt and corset made by from her old Nike match outfits before unveiling a shimmering gold dress, which Osaka said she thought looked like the famous French monument at night.

For her second-round clash against Donna Vekic, Osaka instead walked out with a flowing beige skirt attached to the back of her dress and a warm-up jacket that matched her golden dress.

She kept the train on for the coin toss before taking it off for warm-up.

Osaka’s outfit sparked debate after her first-round opponent Laura Siegemund declared: ‘I came here to play tennis, not put on a fashion show.’
