Coco Gauff may be just 20, but judging by her latest glam appearance, you’d think she was stepping off the cover of Vogue rather than Centre Court. Forget just being the queen of the court—Gauff is now officially a style icon in her own right, and the internet has feelings about it. Mostly a lot of stunned double-takes, awe-struck emojis, and one trending hashtag: #GlamGauff.
So what sparked this fashion frenzy? Following her dominant performance at Wimbledon, Coco attended a private post-match event hosted by a luxury brand (because why not?)—and let’s just say jaws were dropping faster than unreturned serves. Ditching the tennis whites for a sleek, body-hugging black gown with a dramatic slit, Coco didn’t just walk into the room—she served. Literally and figuratively.
“She’s not 20 anymore!” read one viral tweet accompanied by side-by-side photos: one of Coco at age 15 holding a racket nearly bigger than her, and one from this week looking like a Bond girl who moonlights as a Grand Slam champion. Comment sections across social media quickly turned into fashion forums, with fans dissecting every detail—from her minimalist diamond necklace to her flawless bronzed glow.
It didn’t take long for tennis Twitter to explode with celebrity comparisons. “Is Coco Gauff entering her Rihanna era?” one user wrote. Another added, “Give her a Met Gala invite, stat!”
Even seasoned fashion commentators chimed in. One UK stylist wrote, “Coco’s transition from sporty teen prodigy to red carpet-ready powerhouse has been seamless. She understands the assignment—and then some.”
And yet, despite the hype, Gauff kept things humble. When asked about her viral look in a follow-up interview, she shrugged with a laugh, “Sometimes a girl just wants to wear heels instead of sneakers.” And just like that, she stole hearts all over again.
From Wimbledon warrior to glam goddess, Coco Gauff is proving that she’s not just growing up—she’s glowing up. Whether she’s smashing aces or lighting up the flashbulbs, one thing’s for sure: the world is watching, and Coco? She’s owning every minute of it.
Game. Set. Glamour.
