Tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams have established a notable presence on the Met Gala red carpet, consistently showcasing distinct and impactful fashion choices.

Her fashion statements include a bronze gown in 2004, an Old Hollywood-inspired scarlet gown in 2021, and a powerful custom three-piece tuxedo by Gabriela Hearst for Chloé in 2022, designed to reinterpret menswear for female empowerment.
Their Met Gala styles often reflect significant moments. Serena used the 2017 event to highlight her pregnancy glow and a $1.25 million diamond watch, and famously announced her second pregnancy in 2023. In 2024, both sisters stunned in reflective ensembles, with Venus in mirror discs and Serena in a gold lamé creation.
More recently, in 2025, Serena embraced a 1920s-inspired silk gown, while Venus presented a modern, tailored look paying homage to fashion icons and her tennis background, featuring a custom design with a tennis skirt. The sisters' Met Gala history is a testament to their enduring style and influence in fashion.
