Coco Gauff wants to venture into fashion and beauty

The 20-year-old American tennis sensation, who has taken the sports world by storm with her remarkable talent and achievements, shared in 2023 her passion for fashion and her love for shopping in  New York City. As Coco Gauff had an amazing winning strike at the U.S. Open, she revealed during the tournament’s media day that her love for fashion and personal style is essential to her life outside the tennis world.

“That’s something that I’ve been thinking about a lot,” Gauff said. “I really do love fashion. I love makeup. I love that type of thing. I just haven’t really thought about how I would build that into a brand, per se.” When asked about her current fashion favorites, Gauff mentioned some high-profile brands that have caught her eye. These include Miu Miu, Ganni, and Fendi. Her interest in fashion extends beyond just wearing stylish clothes; she’s also drawn to the makeup and beauty world.

“I’m at the age right now where I’m really trying to find myself, I guess, outside of tennis because I do want to venture out into other things. I just haven’t found what really speaks to me,” she explained.
