Every year, it feels like the US Open just gets bigger and bigger, and we predict it will hit its peak in 2026. The US Open is one of those rare sporting events where what you wear, drink, and eat and even who you meet is as much a part of the experience as the actual sport itself. The best fashion brands, restaurants, and cocktail makers come together for this event that exudes culture year after year. With New York fashion insiders, celebrities, and tennis fans descending on Flushing Meadows, the stands have grown to have fashion week–level street style appeal.

The ideal outfit is comfortable and practical yet makes a subtle statement, from polished tennis-inspired looks to elevated summer outfits that happen to work perfectly for a day of watching matches. Here’s what to wear, according to celebrities, tastemakers, and fashion editors.
