Tate McRae Gucci Horsebit Bag Is the Smartest Counterpoint to Her Adidas US Open Look

Tate McRae mixes an Adidas knit cardigan and Stan Smith sneakers with black shorts and a Gucci Horsebit bag for US Open Opening Night.

Tate McRae treats US Open dressing as sportswear with one deliberate interruption. At Opening Night in New York on August 30, 2026, she wears a black Adidas Essential Knit Cardigan with black tailored shorts, white socks and white Adidas Stan Smith shoes. The cardigan and sneakers establish the athletic vocabulary; the beige-and-brown Gucci shoulder bag pointedly belongs to another one.

The proportions are especially clean on Tate McRae in a black Adidas cardigan and shorts. The cardigan finishes close to the waistband rather than extending over the shorts, leaving the leg line uninterrupted until the white socks and sneakers. Black rectangular sunglasses reinforce the compact upper half and keep the palette almost entirely monochrome above the ankle.

Then there is the Gucci Horsebit Ristretto Medium Shoulder Bag. Beige GG canvas, dark brown trim and prominent Horsebit hardware sit distinctly against the black clothing, and the contrast feels intentional rather than decorative. At US Open Opening Night in New York, that polished bag is what stops the Adidas pieces from reading like straightforward tennis-inspired casualwear.

The Stan Smiths are a particularly sensible finish because their low profile stays visually light beneath the short hem, while the white Adidas socks make the footwear part of the styling rather than an afterthought. McRae has not overloaded the sports reference: one cardigan, one recognizable sneaker shape and a small Trefoil repeat at the socks are enough.

The outfit succeeds because the luxury accessory is not trying to imitate the athletic pieces. It sits outside their language and improves the whole composition by doing so. The look earns 8/10 for the sharp Adidas coordination and the well-judged Gucci contrast.
