Morgan Riddle turned to classic tennis whites as inspiration for her attire at the 2025 Australian Open on Monday in Melbourne, Australia. The social media star and partner of American tennis player Taylor Fritz joined high-profile guests at the Bondi Sands Event ahead of matches at the Grand Slam tennis tournament.

For the occasion, Riddle opted for a white midi dress featuring halter straps. The look included a fitted bodice with a square neckline and slight signs of boning for the garment’s sleek silhouette.

Morgan Riddle, Australian Open 2025 — Morgan Riddle attends the 2025 Australian Open Bondi Sands Event at The Terrace at the Royal Botanic Gardens on Jan. 13 in Melbourne, Australia.

Riddle continued her monochrome approach to her attire, wearing a pair of white, pointed-toe heels. As for her accessories, Riddle wore dainty rings, a delicate bracelet and pearl earrings.

For her glam, Riddle pulled her hair back and wore it down. Strands of hair were used to frame her face. Riddle’s makeup featured a clean look with the added touch of bold brows, a slight smokey eye and a pop of color with pink berry lip.

Riddle’s look was wholly evocative of the traditional tennis whites worn by professional players throughout history. While the color scheme is no longer required of players on the court for such tournaments as the Australian Open, Wimbledon (also known as The Championships) still requires players to wear white tennis kits when competing at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

In May 2024, Riddle spoke with WWD about her time at the French Open, Roland-Garros. The social media star wore pieces courtesy of Wilson, including tennis kits by the brand. “Tenniscore is in,” Riddle told WWD regarding the trendy apparel inspired by the sport.

Riddle’s comment to WWD was on the mark — especially for 2024. Tenniscore outfits and inspired looks were seen on the red carpet thanks in part to Luca Guadagnino’s film “Challengers,” starring Zendaya. Throughout the promotional tour of the film, Zendaya often wore pieces inspired by the sport.

OPINION - Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and the self-deception of the very rich and famous
As fire rages in Los Angeles, Meghan Markle postpones her new lifestyle programme for Netflix, which was supposed to come out this week. It’s called With Love, Meghan. It is the function of royalty to play the archetype — naive, goddess, witch — and I wonder if, with the postponement, the denial of the super-rich class about its impact on the world is ebbing, because it should.
