Pro tennis player and new mom Naomi Osaka recently attended the 2023 US Open as a spectator. The 25-year-old four-time Grand Slam singles champ shared a trio of Instagram pics from the stands on Sept. 7, and we immediately honed in on the sweet accessory that honors her newborn daughter, Shai.

In the first slide, Osaka threw up a peace sign in a cute selfie, which was captured in incredible lighting and showed off her bright yellow ensemble. She provided a view of the court in another pic, which also featured her golden Louis Vuitton handbag and tournament pass. The final snap was where Osaka showed off her proud mom jewelry: gold necklaces with “mama” and “Shai” charms in gleaming diamonds.

She and her partner, rapper Cordae, welcomed their daughter Shai earlier this summer.

“🎾☀️✌🏾,” the athlete captioned her post simply using a few appropriate emojis.
