As of tonight, both Williams sisters will have co-chaired a Met Gala. Venus Williams is preparing to host the 2026 Met Gala with Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman as we speak—a bucket-list moment Serena Williams wouldn't miss for the world. On Met Gala Eve, Serena supported her older sister the only way she knew how: with a cheeky LaQuan Smith dress to rival her upcoming red carpet look.
Venus and Serena secured invites to Anna Wintour's pre-Met Gala party, held inside her New York City townhouse on May 3. The tennis legends arrived separately, but not before subtly syncing their step-and-repeats. Serena, for one, was unmissable in strawberry-red sequins from neckline-to-ankle-grazing-hem. Stylist Kesha McLeod was drawn to a black, long-sleeve dress on a recent LaQuan Smith runway, featuring the same keyhole back cut-out and higher-than-thigh slit. To make it more Serena, the designer sculpted this structured, yet skintight style just for her.
