Following high stakes at London’s Wimbledon Championships (and all the celebrity beauty moments in between), the 2024 tennis tour takes to The States for the final stop on the grand slam calendar.

The U.S. Open kicked off in New York City this week, with Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka are both up on the score. To cheer the world’s best tennis champions on, we spotted a few familiar fans in the stands. 

On day one, Kerry Washington joined her mother in tight half-up half-down curls kissed by Queens humidity. Her no-makeup tennis look required no frills other than a red-orange lip (think: Wyn Beauty’s matte lipstick in muted cayenne) and a hint of mascara.

Meanwhile, actress Danai Gurira pulled out a demure purple lip and smokey eyeshadow to match her Gauff-inspired box braids. 

Ballerina Misty Copeland was seen, pairing her slicked back tennis braid with a matte makeup look to fend off sweat: pink lipstick, dark lashes, and a powdered finish.

Then, Broadway actress Kecia Lewis-Evans re-twisted her locs into a tiered bun, which played up her micro-brows and sun-kissed eyeshadow. And, by day three, ESPN broadcaster Cari Champion arrived in a black wig with extra-long lashes to dress up her sporty pale pink tones. 

With the two-week tournament underway, check out all the best celebrity beauty moments, so far, at this year’s U.S. Open.
