Coco Gauff’s off court style works because it barely strays from her on court instincts, folding her longtime New Balance partnership into elevated pieces from Miu Miu until the whole look reads as hers rather than something a stylist built around her.
How did Coco Gauff’s style become part of her brand?
It started early. She signed on as a New Balance ambassador at 14, then qualified for Wimbledon the following year and beat Venus Williams along the way at just 15. In 2022, after reaching the Roland Garros final, New Balance gave her a signature shoe of her own, the Coco CG1, ahead of that year’s US Open. A year later she won her first Grand Slam singles title at the US Open at 19, wearing that same signature line, and her wardrobe had officially become part of how fans recognized her on sight.
What is Coco Gauff’s Miu Miu collaboration with New Balance?
The two brands debuted a new all white capsule this year built specifically for Wimbledon, moving classic tennis dressing into technical stretch jersey with lingerie style details worked in through scalloped edging, pleated skirts and discreet splits.
The collection also brought a new version of her 530 SL sneaker, finished in deco leather with asymmetric laces and the joint New Balance and Miu Miu logo stitched in navy and red, and launched with an event at the brand’s flagship store on London’s New Bond Street just before the tournament began. It is her second full collection with the pairing since the partnership started in 2024, and it arrived while Gauff sat at number two in the world rankings with 11 career singles titles to her name.
The form of the New Balance x Miu Miu collection is further emphasized by navy piping, pleated skirts feature discreet splits for movement, all echoing a sportswear-inspired sensibility.

Why does Gauff’s style connect so strongly with younger fans?
Part of it comes down to who is actually behind the account. Her TikTok, which has crossed a million followers and tens of millions of likes, reads like it is run by Gauff herself rather than a polished team, and that visible, unpolished presence is rare among athletes at her level. It makes the fashion moments feel like documentation of her real life rather than a campaign built to look that way. It also fits into a broader shift in tennis, where quiet luxury and performance wear keep merging on court, and Gauff sits at the center of that shift instead of chasing it from the sidelines.
Gauff has always pointed to Serena Williams as the athlete who proved a tennis court could double as a runway, and her own approach pushes that idea further by folding luxury fashion houses directly into her competition gear instead of saving them for red carpets. With the US Open 2026 approaching, expect her wardrobe to keep doing exactly what it has done since she was a teenager, turning a match court into one more place to make a statement.
