No one aces Met Gala fashion like Serena Williams.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner made her seventh appearance at the Met Gala in New York City last night, and from her surprise golden bob hairstyle to her custom sea-foam gown with an epic puffer cape, every detail was a clean winner.
“For every dandy, there’s a gown,” Serena shared on Instagram, a nod to the evening’s theme.

One of the biggest events on the fashion world’s social calendar, the star-studded gala raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and features a different dress code each year. The 2025 exhibition is called “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, and on Monday evening the theme was “Tailored for You”.
The event encouraged attendees to explore Black identity and history through the lens of dandyism, which NPR calls “an aesthetic and cultural tradition rooted in defiance, elegance, and self-definition.”
