Here are our top picks for best dressed.

Chris Haworth

Chris took gold and looked great doing it, wearing a washed grape set from Dick’s Sporting Goods. He paired the DSG x Naito relaxed graphic tee in Washed Grape with the DSG men’s 6″ agility shorts in Washed Grape for  coordinated look.

Mari Humberg

Mari wore the adidas premium sleeveless tank paired with a skirt featuring a subtle cutout logo that perfectly matched the top. The contrast side panels created a sleek, sculpted look.

Camila wore the Pirouette Babydoll Dress from Popflex Active. The babydoll fit, and the color was perfect for winter in the desert.

Pablo wore his signature Lotto look, pairing a light blue performance top with subtle tonal camo that matched perfectly with the Lotto blue tennis shorts to create a cohesive, polished look.

Kiora Kunimoto

Kiora wore the Connect the Dots Dress from Altar’d State. Polka dots are very in for 2026, and the soft yellow paired with the back cutout created a standout look.

Jorja Johnson & Tyra Hurricane Black (+ Ireland Horvat!)

Jorja and Tyra wore their classic 11-Nil look in blue, styled in the Vienna Low Zip Corset Dress. As the Olympics wrapped up, standing next to Ireland in red, the look came together as a polished, patriotic moment.

Ashley Griffith

Ashley’s looks in 2026 have landed her on our list almost every week. This week’s look came from Amazon. The dress comes in six colors and is the perfect affordable pickleball option. The sweetheart neckline looks great, and the contrast trim adds beautiful dimension.
