Coco Gauff wears one of Spring's 2025 top color trends at the Oscars

Coco Gauff isn't just a powerhouse on the court; she's also proving she's got a serious style game. Before she gets back to business at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, the tennis star took a glamorous detour to the Academy Awards, making her Oscars debut in a stunning custom yellow Miu Miu gown. With its sleek, structured design, the dress gave a subtle nod to her tennis roots, and she completed the look with dangling earrings that screamed elegance.  

Gauff has never been shy about her love of fashion, and she's making it clear that style isn't just a side interest—it's part of who she is. "I really do love fashion. I love makeup. I love that type of thing," she shared during a 2023 press event. "I just haven't really thought about how I would build that into a brand, per se."

Some of her current fashion obsessions? She's loving Miu Miu, Ganni, and Fendi and diving into the beauty world. Right now, she's exploring what resonates with her beyond tennis, and if her Oscars moment is any indication, she's got a bright future in the fashion space if she wants it.

Right after the awards ceremony, the athlete gave green a chance. She wore a delicate custom lime-green Miu Miu dress at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. The dress featured delicate spaghetti straps and was adorned with green and white crystals along the bodice, adding a touch of sparkle to the ensemble. A subtle cutout at the mid-back added an element of sophistication to the design. 

Gauff accessorized her look with floral earrings, complementing the gown's vibrant hue. Her hair was styled in a chic braided ponytail, completing the elegant appearance.

 Back to the Court, Eyes on the Prize  

After her Hollywood moment, Gauff is shifting focus to Palm Springs, where she'll compete in the BNP Paribas Open. Last year, she made it to the semifinals, but this time, she's aiming to go all the way. "American tennis has never been stronger," she told T&C. "There are so many great younger players making moves up the rankings, and it seems like everyone is supporting each other."  

With defending champ Iga Świątek and world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka also in the mix, it won't be easy. But Gauff—currently ranked No. 3—isn't one to back down from a challenge.
