Venus Williams Takes Center Court in a Custom Luar Tennis Dress at the 2025 US Open

Venus Williams arrived at the Stars of the Open exhibition match in all-black, custom Luar .

You haven't seen the last of Venus Williams at the 2025 US Open. Though she lost the first mixed doubles match, the tennis legend returned to center court at the Stars of the Open exhibition on August 21. Alongside fellow icon, John McEnroe, Williams came out swinging in custom Luar.

Her entrance inside New York's Billie Jean King National Tennis Center was nothing short of grand. On the heels of her Khaite collaboration, Williams and her stylist, Ronald Burton, teamed up with Luar on all-black tennis outfit. First, Burton dressed her in a black mini dress made entirely of Woolmark's knitted merino wool—a dense, natural fiber compared to the nylon and spandex blends she usually wears. It featured all the makings of a traditional tennis dress, including a pleated mini skirt and a fitted, sleeveless bodice.
