NEW YORK & OTTAWA - December 5,2025 - Victoria Mboko,the 19-year-old Canadian tennis sensation,is quickly becoming a name beyond the court,capping a breakthrough season with appearances at a high-profile fashion show and a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Mboko, currently ranked no. 18 in the PIF WTA rankings, attended the Chanel Métiers d’Art show in New York City on December 2, turning heads in a black-and-white tweed jacket and skirt paired with a black turtleneck. The event, held on an abandoned subway platform on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, drew a star-studded crowd including A$AP Rocky, Margaret Qualley, Kristen Stewart, emily Ratajkowski, and Jenny Slate. Models arrived by train, and guests viewed the collection from orange subway benches. Mboko was seen in conversation with rock legend Jon Bon Jovi and former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Following the fashion show, Mboko traveled to Ottawa where she met with Prime Minister Carney at Parliament Hill on December 4, accompanied by her family. The Prime Minister congratulated Mboko on her achievements, stating, “What an honor it is that you’re here. How proud we are of everything that you’ve accomplished at such a young age,” according to The Canadian Press.
Mboko presented the Prime minister with her National Bank Open trophy and signed a racquet – the very one she used to defeat Naomi Osaka in the Montreal final.
