Serena Williams brought her fashion A-game to the star-studded 2024 Met Gala, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The 42-year-old retired tennis superstar dazzled in a metallic gold gown by Balenciaga. The one-shoulder dress featured a sash that flowed into a dramatic train.
She paired this glamorous look with black opera-length gloves, sheer black tights, and matching heels.
To complete her outfit, the mother of two wore a golden floral accessory in her hair, rings over her gloves for added sparkle, and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch, perfectly aligning with the “Garden of Time” dress code.
The dress was inspired by the fashion house’s couture collection showcased in 2022. According to Vogue, the atelier dedicated 150 hours to pattern-making and crafted this couture piece from 25 meters of gold foil-laminated taffeta sourced from Italy.
‘It’s truly been an honor to collaborate with the talented Balenciaga team on such a memorable and glamorous piece,’ she told the publication.
Williams was styled by Kesha McLeod for the event.
The tennis champion also shared a clip of herself getting her makeup done ahead of the gala via her Instagram Stories.
Also present at this year’s gala was Serena’s sister Venus Williams, 43, who looked equally as stunning in a mirrored Marc Jacobs gown.
The sparkling sister duo happily posed for snaps together during fashion’s biggest night.
Last year Serena surprised her fans when she revealed a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 bump at the Met Gala.
The star stunned in a black gown with pearls for the 2023 Karl Lagerfeld-themed event, as she announced that she was expecting her second daughter, Adira River Ohanian, with her Reddit cofounder husband Alexis Ohanian.
The pair also share six-year-old daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.
The Outfit Organization’s spring display falls on the primary Monday in May consistently and is held at New York City’s Metropolitan Historical center of Workmanship.
This year the occasion is named Resting Wonders: Stirring up Design while the clothing standard is The Nursery of Time.
Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Terrible Rabbit and Chris Hemsworth are the current year’s co-seats. Additionally on the board is Vogue’s Anna Wintour.
The privileged seats for the night are Loewe innovative chief Jonathan Anderson and TikTok President Shou Zi Bite.
‘The current year’s co-seats mirror an assortment of vocation accomplishments, and all have particular style narratives with the Met Celebration,’ Vogue shared.
The exhibit will highlight roughly 250 things drawn from The Outfit Establishment’s super durable assortment – with large numbers of the pieces excessively delicate to at any point be worn once more.
The pieces will be generally shown utilizing components like artificial intelligence, GCI, and more while hyping subjects of land, ocean, and sky.
‘It is a lot of a tribute to nature and the profound poetics of design,’ said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Keeper Responsible for The Ensemble Organization, of the impending presentation.
