Naomi Osaka's Maternity shoot with Nike
Naomi Osaka wants the world to know that she can do it all in her latest photoshoot with Nike. The 4 time Grand Slam singles champion posed atop a white umpire chair in Nike Tech for an ad campaign shot by photographer Harley Weir, “Ruler of All Courts”.
In a set designed by Patience Harding, the campaign took a neutral approach. A white backdrop and a white umpire chair are the primary backdrops. A bright blue tennis court, only seen in a few pictures of the shoot is the only pop of color. Stylist Zara Elouise also styled Naomi in a look as neutral as the backdrop. The sports star wore a cream Nike tech jacket with black accents. The zipper, open halfway from the button, showed off the Tennis star’s growing belly. The jacket is paired with relaxed drawstring white pants, white sneakers, and mesh white Nike socks. Naomi looks glowy with a beautiful dewy makeup look, her naturally curly hair and large golden earring bringing a touch of elegance to the look. This massive flower earring stands out amongst the athletic nature of the photoshoot.
Naomi gave birth to her baby girl this summer, which she announced in an adorable baby onesie post. Sports stars like Naomi are showing women around the world that being a mother and being a sports star is not something to choose between. She takes on both roles elegantly and with pride, and that’s something to admire.
