Coco Gauff's chic 'date' look prompts hilarious banter between Danielle Collins & Clervie Ngounoue; earns praise from her mother Candi & Paula Badosa

Coco Gauff's stylish outfit for a dinner date proved very popular, as her mother Candi, brother Codey, and Paula Badosa shared their admiration, while Danielle Collins and Clervie Ngounoue exchanged playful banter.

After dominant straight-set wins in her first two matches, Gauff crashed out of the Madrid Open in the fourth round. Madison Keys ended the 20-year-old's hopes of clinching her second WTA 1000 title, claiming a hard-fought 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-4 victory in their blockbuster all-American showdown.

Despite her early exit, Gauff opted to extend her stay in Madrid, taking the opportunity to broaden her horizons. She paid a visit to The Cooking Clubhouse during the day, learning the art of making tapas and a mushroom dish.

Later in the evening, the World No. 3 showed off her fashionable side, dressing up in a chic grey dress paired with stylish black boots, sharing that she was out on a dinner date.

"Pov: im ur dinner date," she captioned her Instagram post.

American rising star Clervie Ngounoue reacted to Gauff's look, playfully offering to foot the bill for the dinner date. Danielle Collins joined in the banter, hilariously deeming Ngounoue to be Gauff's "sugar mama."

"Plsss I’m paying all the bills😩," Ngounoue commented.

"Sugar mama!!! 🙌," Collins replied.

Gauff herself was amused by the humorous exchange, responding with laughing emojis.
