From anonymity to overnight stardom - eighteen-year-old Emma Raducanu has the world at her feet after winning the US Open Saturday night.
The first British woman to win a Grand Slam title since Virginia Wade at Wimbledon in 1977, the Brits are understandably delighted at the teenager’s sporting prowess which looks set to make her a huge fashion influencer.
Hailing from the London suburb of Bromely, Raducanu, who sat her A-Levels just months ago, beat Canadian Leylah Fernadnez in straight sets in the final of the US Open.
And signaling that she already knew the value behind her victory off the sporting field as well, she donned a black strapless dress with white Nike trainers and Tiffany earrings, appearing every inch the star as she was congratulated, photographed, and interviewed by media from across the globe after her triumphant win.

There’s no doubt that the gorgeous teenager will soon be inundated with offers from various brands and labels in a bid to have her represent them. British media is saying that she is set to become a billion-dollar influencer in the months to come.
Proof of her new star status was her appearance at the recent Met Gala where she rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest names in the celebrity and fashion world.
Wearing a black-and-white Chanel ensemble she took to the red carpet at the exclusive event with the likes of Kim Kardashian West, Jennifer Lopez , and Billie Eilish. The annual star-studded event raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Raducan was also personally congratulated on Twitter by the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall.
