Tennis fashion at the US Open had zero chill this year 🎾✨

From Coco’s classic New Balance fit, to Naomi Osaka’s avant-garde look inspired by NBA legend Allen Iverson, to the $110,000 necklace around Aryna Sabalenka’s neck, to Taylor Townsend’s bold statement pieces - the 2026 US Open served it all.

This Emirati Women’s Month, we’re spotlighting a few of the many incredible athletes here in the UAE.

Starting off the series: Ghala Al Hammadi (Ghala Al Hammadi) - a rising MMA athlete and multiple podium winner. She most recently took silver at the IMMAF Youth World Championships (IMMAF) in Abu Dhabi, in the strawweight 52.2kg category, this August.

We asked her what it means to be an Emirati woman in sport, and who inspires her - spoiler: it’s a family affair.

This tracks.

e.l.f. Beauty (e.l.f. Cosmetics) and Parity (Parity) just released “Girls Who Play Change the Game” - one of the largest studies of its kind, surveying over 9,500 women across the US, Canada, UK, and Germany.

The findings: women who played sports growing up are more likely to become leaders, aspire to senior roles, and take up space in the workplace - and they credit the skills they built through sport for getting them there.

Not elite. Not pro. Just everyday athletes.
