Serena Williams Stuns in a Glamorous Sequined Gown at the Pre-Met Gala 2026 Party
Serena Williams made a stunning entrance at Anna Wintour’s pre-Met Gala dinner, arriving in a custom LaQuan Smith gown that featured eye-catching red sequins and a daring high slit, showcasing her toned legs.
Hosted at Wintour’s private residence in Greenwich Village, New York City, Williams, 44, complemented her striking look with black pointed-toe Christian Louboutin heels and a Roger Vivier clutch. Her platinum blonde hair was styled in elegant waves, parted down the middle, and she opted for minimal makeup to enhance her glamorous appearance.
The two-time Met Gala co-chair, who shares daughters Olympia, 8, and Adira, 2, with husband Alexis Ohanian, is known for her previous involvement with the event. This year, however, Wintour has selected Venus Williams to co-chair alongside iconic figures like Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman.
Fellow tennis legend Venus, 45, attended the intimate evening with her husband, Andrea Preti, both dressed in coordinating ensembles by Pucci. Other high-profile guests included Nicole Kidman, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and his wife Lauren Sánchez, who are sponsoring this year’s Met Gala.
This year’s Met Gala, themed “Costume Art” with a dress code of “Fashion Is Art,” will take place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new permanent galleries. The event promises a showcase of creativity and celebrity allure, setting the stage for another memorable night in fashion.
