At the 2024 Met Gala on May 6th, the tennis superstar presented yet another captivating outfit, showcasing her iconic style outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s as if she’s been preparing for this event all along.
Styled by Kesha McLeod for fashion’s grandest night, the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion made quite the statement, commanding attention with a meticulously draped metallic gown by Balenciaga.
The gown featured a dramatic train, perfectly in line with the evening’s theme, “The Garden of Time.”
This marked Williams’ most glamorous outing since welcoming her second child, daughter Adira River Ohanian, in August.
Since giving birth, the 42-year-old, who also shares daughter Alexis Olympia, 6, with husband Alexis Ohanian, has openly discussed the challenges of her postpartum journey.
“Loving yourself is essential,” the 42-year-old wrote on Instagram in February, alongside a photo of herself in a bikini, cradling Adira. “I find that I have to remind myself of that self-love through all different stages in my life.”
“Right now, I love that my body is not picture perfect,” she continued. “I love that I smell like milk—that milk sustains @adiraohanian. I love getting to know a new version of my body. It is a change, but it’s a change that has been well worth it. So, start this week knowing that you are loved, and that starts with you.”
