Aryna Sabalenka hasn't just been shining on the Australian Open courts because of her play so far at the year's first Grand Slam. The world No. 1 is accessorizing a colorful Nike tennis dress with custom jewelry pieces from New York boutique jeweler Material Good—and that's not the only thing elevating her new-season style game.
Sabalenka signed on to be an ambassador for the SoHo-based Material Good officially for 2026 after "stumbling into" its storefront during her run to the US Open title last summer. She wore the same three custom Material Good pieces throughout the New York fortnight, all of which were inspired by her eighth appearance in Queens, and will help to design new hand-crafted pieces for both work and play.
“Jewelry is a way that I express myself, both on and off the court, and this partnership felt like a natural next step in my style evolution," Sabalenka says. "Working with Material Good allows me to celebrate my creativity in a new way, completing my look through jewelry that feels intentional and modern."

As she bids for a third Australian Open title, Sabalenka is wearing a set of earrings and pendant necklace that are inspired by Melbourne's coastal locale. After her opening-round victory in Melbourne, Sabalenka said that working with Material Good "give\[s\] me this space to design things, to be creative, to be unique."
"They understand me really well. They know me well," she said.
But another brand that the 27-year-old has shown an affinity for as the world's best female tennis player is Gucci. And as Thursday neared Friday in Melbourne, the Italian fashion house made it official, and welcomed Sabalenka to an ambassador family that also includes ATP world No. 2 Jannik Sinner.
In the campaign video, Sabalenka rallies on the street, racquet in hand, wearing a flowing beige and dark brown silk twill gown with a feather trim, an all-over GG motif, and a button-down finish.
