Venus Williams' sports luxe look for the Met Gala 2025 just gave athleisure a high fashion feel

Venus Williams at the Met Gala 2025.

Venus Williams' look for the Met Gala 2025 was perfectly personal for the sporting star. With a dress code of 'Tailored for You', that was often interpreted as an exploration of classic tailoring, and reworking traditional menswear styles for the female form, Venus Williams, together with Lacoste, took things one step further, tailoring the theme to something more personal.

With a twist on a classic tennis uniform, Venus Williams took to the red carpet in a deep emerald green ensemble that had a sports luxe feel. Her diamante collared polo top was paired with a sharply pleated tennis skirt, that was traditional tennis length at the front, before dropping into an almost train-like length at the sides and back. The whole outfit was pulled together and up-styled by a dramatic shawl-collared coat, with deep fringe embellishment that added plenty of texture to the look. It was 'tennis-core' at its finest.
