NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Naomi Osaka may not have gone out of the U.S. Open<\/a> with much of a bang. But she surely went out with a burst \u2014 of color, and a bit of swag.<\/p>\n

The two-time U.S. Open champion lost a lopsided fourth-round match on Monday to Elena Rybakina<\/a>. But she continued to make her mark as the undisputed fashion queen on tour. Osaka, already known for her walk-on fashion reveals at tournaments, has been upping her game at the year’s final major with a series of dramatic ensembles \u2014 all with a basketball theme, as her sponsor, Nike, honors the New York Knicks’ championship win.<\/p>\n

For her last look, she arrived on court Monday in a coat of many colors: a fur-trimmed cloak designed by Brooklyn-based label KidSuper.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt really swaggy when I put it on,” Osaka said after the match. \u201cI feel feel like it embodied New York a lot.”<\/p>\n

For her increasingly dramatic looks the past week or so, Osaka has worked with celebrity stylist Law Roach \u2014 also known as Zendaya’s stylist \u2014 displaying the work of multiple designers.<\/p>\n

Monday’s eclectic walk-on ensemble from KidSuper, the label of designer Colm Dillane, included not only the lavish coat, but a headband that echoed the blue, red and white NBA logo \u2014 only now, displaying a racket-wielding tennis player, not a basketball player.<\/p>\n

For her first-round match a week ago, Osaka channeled NBA great Allen Iverson<\/a> in a long, white tulle skirt and a dramatic gray, hooded robe. When she removed the hood, Osaka’s hair was in cornrows under a headband, recalling Iverson’s look when was the NBA MVP while playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. Her ensemble was designed by Who Decides War, the New York-based streetwear brand.<\/p>\n

For round two, Osaka arrived on court in an ensemble by Thom Browne, with a flowing white jacket embroidered with crossed tennis rackets. Underneath, her tennis skirt’s mesh fabric resembled a basketball net.<\/p>\n

For the third round, Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, wore the label Monse \u2014 an oversized hybrid of a gray suit jacket and hoodie sweatshirt over flowing gray fleece pants, an outfit meant to mesh business wear with sports wear.<\/p>\n

After her loss Monday, Osaka was asked if she was disappointed that there may have been other fashion looks she’d been planning to display, had she remained longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I think there\u2019s always something, you know?\u201d Osaka said. \u201cI feel like that\u2019s a way that I can have fun and sort of just excite myself, also.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the 28-year old \u2014 who noted that she\u2019d been hampered during Monday’ match by pain in her leg \u2014 was philosophical about her loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe I\u2019m just getting older, but I don\u2019t feel sad,\u201d Osaka said. \u201cI think, also, if I reflect on my career and the things that I\u2019ve been able to do, there\u2019s nothing that I regret or there\u2019s nothing that I\u2019m sad about … If I win another Grand Slam, it\u2019s not going to change my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
