In the days leading up to the highly anticipated 2026 US Open, Alex Eala is taking some well-deserved time off the court. The 21-year-old tennis star recently shared snaps from a day spent exploring New York.


For the outing, Alex embraced a vibrant color-blocking moment in a head-to-toe look from Filipino brand Atelier Carlene. She paired a bright tangerine halter top with beaded denim jeans, making a case for bringing a little more color into your everyday wardrobe.

With her long, wavy hair worn loose, Alex let her colorful ensemble take center stage. The tennis star sported Atelier Carlene's Tropical Sun Silk top, a tangerine-hued halter piece featuring white beadwork tracing the perimeter of its low-cut back.

The piece comes from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, which plays with bright, joyful colors across clean-cut wardrobe staples.
