Naomi Osaka has a bright new look. The tennis star posted a series of photos of herself on Instagram with pink hair [2] to match her new character skins [3] for the popular video game Fortnite, which went on sale on March 3. In the pictures, Osaka stands in front of a massive billboard in an equally vibrant knit bucket hat. She captioned the social media post, "oh hi π€ππΎπ."
One of the Fortnite skins of Osaka features long, hot-pink hair and the athlete's signature visor, which doubles as a crown. In the last photo, she's pictured with her sister, Mari Osaka [4], who created the designs. "I had the honor of being able to work with @fortnite and my awesome sis @naomiosaka to create these skins for her in the game. I'm soooo stunned with how beautiful they came out," Mari captioned her Instagram post [5].
While there's a possibility that we have a long, wavy wig to thank for Osaka's fresh pink hair color, we wouldn't be surprised if she decides someday to make the unconventional shade a permanent part of her look. She occasionally likes to experiment with color β for example, the time she added red accents to her braids [6] in honor of the Tokyo Olympics. See Osaka's pink hair color below.
