Apart from these, she also donned designer outfits at the Wimbledon Championship, featuring the tournament’s icons and their symbols, and at the US Open, showcasing the New York-themed outfit. In December last year, Gauff was also honoured with the Style Influencer of the Year Award at the Footwear News Achievement Awards.
