Best dressed at the Pickleball Central Indoor National Championships 

Even though Minneapolis brought the chill, the style on the court was anything but cold. From streetwear-inspired fits to striking blue color palettes, the pros showed up with serious fashion heat.

Here are the best dressed players from the Pickleball Central Indoor National Championships.

Nicole Conard


Conard absolutely stole the show in Minnesota with a look that stopped me in my tracks. She paired a classic black tennis skirt with crisp white court shoes, but it was her top that truly made the outfit shine. The long-sleeve sheer black top featured a star pattern woven throughout the fabric (with a great Amazon lookalike), layered perfectly over a sleek black sports bra. Sheer pieces are having a major moment in streetwear right now, so seeing Conard bring that trend onto the court was both creative and refreshing. This is her first appearance on the Best Dressed List, and it’s a well-deserved debut.

Kovalova continues to be a Best Dressed List staple, and her Minnesota look proved exactly why. She stepped onto the court in a light blue high-neck tank (with a great lookalike available), paired effortlessly with a fitted white tennis skirt, white court shoes, and a classic white visor. The icy blue shade looks stunning on her, and the entire outfit feels clean, polished, and timeless. Simply beautiful. Well done.

This up-and-coming pro made a memorable singles run, and looked incredible along the way. While she sported several fun outfits, the bubblegum pink Wilson tennis dress was easily my favorite. The color is stunning and pops beautifully on the pickleball court. Kunimoto finished the look with white crew socks, white shoes, and even white nail polish, tying everything together seamlessly. A truly stellar fit.

Following her historic Nike deal, Waters debuted her first colorful Nike looks, and the blue ensembles absolutely delivered. While the bold cobalt blue was undeniably striking, this softer turquoise set stole my heart, especially with how perfectly it matched her court shoes. Anna Bright nailed the coordination as well, pairing the hue with a JOOLA high-neck tank and a clean white fitted skirt for a polished finish.

I’m a total sucker for a butter-yellow outfit, so when these two showed up on Championship Sunday in matching alo sets, it felt like an instant win. The ruched tops are incredibly flattering, paired perfectly with classic pleated tennis skirts. Finished with white visors and sweet yellow bows and ribbons in their hair, the looks were equal parts polished and playful.

Rohrabacher brought back the iconic picnic-table look, this time in the form of a black bubble gingham skirt from ELN. Letting the bold checkerboard pattern take center stage, she kept the rest of the outfit clean with a black long-sleeve top and white K-Swiss court shoes. Simple, sleek, and undeniably cute.

Bellamy is another pro who’s been leveling up his fashion game, and I’m loving the direction he’s headed. He stepped out in a navy T-shirt, ash gray shorts, and crisp white accessories. While he had several solid looks throughout the tournament, this one stood out thanks to the thoughtful styling. Pairing white court shoes with white high socks instantly elevated the outfit, and the matching white hat tied everything together. Proof that the details really do matter.

If you’re a guy looking to level up your fashion game, take notes from Patriquin. His style is simple, clean, and incredibly easy to recreate. In an electric blue T-shirt paired with white shorts, white Nike high socks, and matching shoes, the look feels fresh and effortless. And the tennis necklace deserves its own shoutout. Swapping a classic chain for diamonds proves once again that pro pickleball players are, in fact, very cool.

I’m really loving this new fashion era from Christian. From her all-white look at the Masters to this peachy Mizuno fit, she’s been delivering standout style moments. Peach is such an unexpected color for the pro pickleball court, which makes this look even more refreshing. I also love the attention to detail. Her white Mizuno court shoes feature a pop of peach in the soles to perfectly complement the dress. Total win.

Honorable Mention: Dave Fleming

 

Pickleballtv broadcaster Dave Fleming brought some serious crossover energy to Championship Court, rocking a PPA hockey jersey while calling the action. A perfect blend of his love for both hockey and pickleball. Epic style on and off the mic.
