Serena Williams<\/strong> made a dramatic entrance at Anna Wintour\u2019s exclusive pre-Met Gala<\/strong> dinner in Recent York City. The tennis icon stepped out at Wintour\u2019s private Greenwich Village residence in a custom LaQuan Smith red sequined gown that shimmered under the lights. The standout feature was a daring slit that showed off her legs before she even fully made her entrance, immediately becoming one in all the night\u2019s most talked-about moments.<\/p>\n

She accomplished the look with black pointed-toe Christian Louboutin heels and a sleek Roger Vivier clutch, keeping her accessories minimal. Her platinum-blonde waves were parted down the center and styled into soft, loose curls, while her makeup stayed easy, letting the dress take center stage.<\/p>\n

As photos from the night made their way online, reactions were quick and divided. Some critics didn\u2019t hold back, with one writing, \u201cSo vulgar. So inappropriate. The colour doesn’t suit her in any respect, and the styling, cut of the dress does Serena no favors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

Others kept it short but pointed, adding, \u201cOh my\u2026\u201d and \u201cLooks tacky to me,\u201d while one other suggested, \u201cShe needs a brand new stylist.\u201d But not everyone was skeptical. Fans quickly got here to her defense, with one supporter writing, \u201cShe\u2019s killing it in that dress,\u201d while one other added, \u201cWow, so pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serena Williams\u2019 latest Met Gala appearance also comes at a time when fans can\u2019t stop speculating a couple of possible return to tennis. Novak Djokovic recently fueled the speculation while chatting with reporters on the BNP Paribas Open, admitting that he, and many others, are watching closely.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe she\u2019s coming back,\u201d Djokovic said<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t spoken to her, but I assume the sentiment is that she\u2019s coming back. Where and the way, singles, doubles, we don\u2019t know, and if I\u2019m in her position, I’d hide it too.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cEverybody is happy, and it\u2019s definitely something that\u2019s very highly anticipated. So, you recognize, let\u2019s see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serena Williams also attended an exclusive pre-Met Gala party hosted by Jeff Bezos<\/strong> and Lauren S\u00e1nchez over the weekend, where she kept things glamorous (and real), even after a minor fashion hiccup. The tennis icon stepped out in a ruched gray minidress featuring a dramatic strapless bodice that highlighted her legs, pairing the look with sheer stockings, black stilettos, and a gold Audemars Piguet watch.<\/p>\n

But by the top of the night, things didn\u2019t go exactly as planned. Serena later revealed that her stockings had ripped throughout the event, something she took completely in stride. \u201cIs the night even value talking about in the event you didn\u2019t get a rip in your stockings?\u201d she joked on Instagram, brushing off the wardrobe malfunction.<\/p>\n

Serena is not any stranger to the Met Gala highlight, having co-chaired the event up to now and consistently delivered daring fashion moments. The mother of two, who shares daughters Olympia and Adira with husband Alexis Ohanian, continues to indicate she\u2019s just as powerful on the red carpet as she was on the court.<\/p>\n

While she won\u2019t be co-chairing this yr\u2019s event, the respect has stayed within the family. Her sister, Venus Williams<\/strong>, is about to host the 2026 Met Gala alongside Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong> and Nicole Kidman<\/strong>, making it one other major moment for the Williams legacy at fashion\u2019s biggest night.<\/p>\n

With the Met Gala set to take over Recent York City tonight, the thrill is simply constructing. This yr\u2019s theme, \u201cCostume Art,\u201d with a dress code of \u201cFashion Is Art,\u201d is anticipated to bring out a few of the most creative and boundary-pushing looks yet, as stars transform the red carpet right into a living gallery.<\/p>\n

A-list names from across entertainment, fashion, and sports are expected to attend, including Sabrina Carpenter<\/strong>, Kim Kardashian<\/strong>, Charli XCX<\/strong>, and more, leading the night.<\/p>\n

But when this pre-party look is any indication, Serena has already made sure all eyes are on her heading into Met Gala night.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
