NEW YORK—Aryna Sabalenka’s victory at the US Open wasn’t just about powerful serves and relentless play; she also made a statement off the court with her impeccable style. After clinching her first US Open title and her third Grand Slam overall, Sabalenka wowed fans with a stunning accessory that nearly outshined the trophy itself: a rainbow-colored Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph.
Sabalenka, who triumphed over No. 6 seed Jessica Pegula in a tightly contested 7-5, 7-5 final, was overcome with emotion following her win. Falling to the ground and covering her face, the Belarusian expressed her pride in herself and her team for their resilience. “I was just so proud of myself and proud of my team that no matter what, we were able to come back stronger and come back with better tennis. And now finally we are having this beautiful trophy,” she shared. “I don’t know how to describe that feeling. You’re crying, you’re laughing, you’re just, you know, you feel all these emotions at the same time. That’s the best feeling.”
As the trophy ceremony began on Arthur Ashe Stadium, Sabalenka’s wrist sparkled with the Audemars Piguet timepiece, a pink gold Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph with rainbow-colored gemstones along the bezel and a sleek black rubber strap. Priced at 99,500 Swiss francs (around $118,000 USD), the watch added an extra layer of glamour to her victory celebrations, complementing her usual WHOOP activity tracker on her right wrist.
Sabalenka’s post-match celebrations were equally vibrant. After lifting the Tiffany & Co. trophy, she joined her team in the Arthur Ashe Stadium locker room, where they celebrated with a spray of champagne. From there, she embarked on a whirlwind of media and TV interviews, marking the culmination of her long-awaited success at the US Open.
True to tradition, Sabalenka later swapped her fuchsia and pink Nike Court Dri-Fit Slam dress for a regal look during an evening photoshoot at the Fountain Plaza, where she showcased her new US Open trophy. Dressed in a red Casablanca column gown inspired by ancient Greece, the champion radiated elegance. The gown featured a gold-tone C-shaped buckle and a thigh-high split on an asymmetric hemline, perfectly matching her luxurious Audemars Piguet timepiece.
Sabalenka’s celebrations didn’t stop there. She took to social media to share a Reel titled “a night in my life after winning the US Open,” giving fans a glimpse of her post-victory routine filled with selfies, interviews, and her trademark exuberance—topping it all off by sipping champagne from her trophy.
With her powerful performance on the court and her stylish celebrations off it, Aryna Sabalenka has cemented her status as not just a tennis champion but also a fashion icon. As she continues to savor her victory, fans and fashion enthusiasts alike will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on her next move—both on and off the tennis court.
