Look: SI Swimsuit Models Make the 2022 U.S. Open a Style Moment

These women have turned the tennis major into a fashion show.

The 2022 U.S. Open—-which runs from Aug. 29 to Sept. 11—-had everyone talking this year as it was Serena Williams’s final tournament before retiring. Not to mention, Frances Tiafoe became the first Black male player to reach the semifinals since Arthur Ashe in 1972. But there have been major fashion moments beyond the history-making sports moments. Celebs from Laverne Cox to Zendaya showed up at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City to cheer on their favorite players donning designer duds. But our SI Swimsuit models' courtside style was aces. Here are a few of our favorite looks.

Would you expect anything less than chic from one of our SI Swimsuit 2022 cover stars? The singer sat in the Williams’s guest box on Sept. 2 to watch her final singles match, wearing a sleek white button-down dress with black sunglasses.

The three-time Olympic medalist (and three-time Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model) watched Williams win her first-round match on Aug. 29 while wearing a satin Gucci blazer in a light pink hue over a black structured low-cut top and black satin pants. The former alpine skier accessorized the look with black open-toe sandals, a Cartier Juste un Clou ring and a black suede envelope clutch.
