How To Ace Your Courtside Style At The 2026 Australian Open

Game, set, slay

By Bianca Licina | 16th January 2026

If you’ve got tickets to the Australian Open, now that you’ve secured your seat, you’re probably wondering what to wear. With tennis WAGs like Paige Lorenze and Morgan Riddle absolutely serving up iconic courtside looks, it’s clear that they’ve raised the fashion bar for our humble Melbourne tournament. Gone are the days of throwing on just anything for a match. 2025 taught us anything, it’s that fashion and sport go hand in hand.

Of course, since we’re talking Melbourne and not Wimbledon, your outfit should balance effortless chic with practicality (it’s January, after all!). Think breathable fabrics, pops of colour, and accessories that elevate without weighing you down.

Whether you’re sitting under the summer sun or enjoying a match under the evening lights, there’s no reason you can’t look as fabulous as the stars on the court.
