US Open Tennis
Where world-class tennis meets A-list celebrity culture. The annual Grand Slam that draws the biggest names to Queens every September.
The Celebrity Grand Slam
The US Open has evolved from a purely sporting event into one of New York City's premier social and celebrity occasions. Every late August and September, Flushing Meadows transforms into a glamorous destination where the worlds of sports, fashion, entertainment, and business converge. The celebrity boxes at Arthur Ashe Stadium have become as much a part of the broadcast as the tennis itself.
Anna Wintour's decades-long presence at the US Open epitomizes the event's dual identity as a sporting and fashion occasion. Her consistent attendance — always impeccably dressed, always in the best seats — has helped position the US Open as a runway for celebrity fashion as much as a Grand Slam tournament. The event's timing, bridging the end of summer and the start of New York Fashion Week, makes it a critical node in the city's annual social calendar.
