Naomi Osaka says her Wimbledon outfit was inspired by Lucy Liu in Kill Bill:
"When you're coming out for a first round match. That striking amazing outfit you came out in... how much of a difference does that make and tell us about the inspiration for it.."
"Yeah, it makes a difference. For me, I find fashion to be really fun. You guys all look for beautiful and I kind of want to come out in something to. To me, my Japanese heritage means a lot. They said all white in Wimbledon and I thought it'd be really cute to come out in a Kimono. I just get inspired by a lot of different things.
One of my favorite movies is Kill Bill. I really love Lucy Liu's character, O-ren Ishii. She comes out in this really iconic white Kimono. I always tell people I like to be like a video character sometimes, I don't want to be myself when I'm playing on the court and I tried to embody her a little."
Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, a softer life exists. Let it happen.
