JAKARTA - Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka doesn't just carry a racket and ball in her latest game at the US Open. The thing that caught the eye was when she brought a unique accessory, namely her Labubu, decorated with thousands of crystals.

The viral hanger doll from Pop Mart is now not just a collection toy, but appears as a luxury artwork. Osaka wore a specialLabubu by the A-Morir label design, which is decorated with around 3,000 crystals attached one by one.

"From the beginning of the 3D printed process to the installation of crystals, it took about a day to make one Labubu," said Kerin Rose Gold designer from A-Morir, quoted from the InStyle page.

A-Morir calls this custom collection a Lablingbling. Made handmade in New York, the price starts from USD 250 to USD 495 (IDR 4 million IDR 8 million).

For Osaka, Kerin Rose Gold made a special version inspired by the athlete.

"Labubu for Naomi is made in a special color resembling her, equipped with a miniature of the same dark blue crystal tennis racket as the one worn," Gold said.

Osaka herself named her little doll 'Billie Jean Bling', inspired by tennis legend Billie Jean King. This limited version of the labu is sold on the official A-Morir website.

Not only Labubu, but A-Morir also designed a scintillating rose hair clip and added crystal details to Osaka's Beats headphones. All in tandem with a lit red tennis suit from Nike, complete with a jacket and a crystal ornamented dress.

"This is quite complicated because it is difficult to install crystals in performance outfits. But I think it will be very exciting to wear them in New York, under the spotlight of the lights," Osaka said after competing against Belgian Greet Minnen.

"I'm happy that my first match will be held at night, so this outfit really fits. This is my night outfit, hopefully next time it can be used for lunch outfits. But yes, it is very detailed and luxurious," he continued.

Pop Mart also welcomed Osaka's style enthusiastically in the field.

"Like many Pop Mart collectors, he personalizes Labubu as a form of self-expression, and the results are really alive," Pop Mart told InStyle.

"This moment feels special and natural, it's amazing to see how much joy it brings to one of the most historic sporting events." he continued.
