The 2026 U.S. Open has a new audience and apparently not everyone knows the rules. As celebrities, influencers and first-time tennis fans descend on Flushing Meadows, some spectators have gone viral for disruptive behavior, from using ring lights in the stands to talking too loudly during play. Tennis superstars Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff have weighed in, reminding newcomers that enjoying the U.S. Open comes with more etiquette than other sporting events. Whether you're a seasoned fan or visiting for the first time, respecting the sport is essential.

The U.S. Open is still in full swing, and Black stars are continuing to show up and out on and off the court. From Naomi Osaka's iconic looks to comedian and writer Ziwe sashaying her way through in a silk dress, there's no lack of breathtaking fashion moments. The tennis icon stepped onto the court in a fierce outfit dressed head to toe in white, including a cape with small golden tennis rackets sewn into it. Alycia Parks was hard to miss in an all-red tennis outfit, while Frances Tiafoe was bright in an all-pink tennis set from Lululemon.

The 2026 U.S. Open is bringing more than world-class tennis to New York City. Black stars are already showing up, showing out and turning the tournament into one of the summer's biggest cultural events. Fan Week brought music, fashion, sports and entertainment to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens. Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Remy Ma, Tinashe, Jermaine Dupri and E-40 were among the familiar faces trading the red carpet for the U.S. Open's signature blue carpet for the festivities.
