Serena Williams once again proved she’s a fashion powerhouse when she arrived at the 2025 TIME100 Gala in a striking black cut-out gown. The tennis legend turned heads in an off-the-shoulder Stella McCartney dress, complete with coordinating heels, sleek opera gloves, and an eye-catching diamond necklace and earring set. Posting to Instagram, she captioned her red carpet moment, “So much fun at time, thanks for having me!”
Fans were quick to show their love, flooding the comments with admiration. “Serena, you look absolutely stunning from head to toe!” one wrote, while another praised, “Your makeup and hair look gorgeous.” Actress Jessica Alba joined the chorus of compliments, commenting “Stunning.”
Serena followed up her post with more highlights from the glamorous night, including a moment with her “favorite Avenger,” Scarlett Johansson. “The highlight of my night meeting my favorite #Avenger Scarlett Johansson. And of course, being reunited with my new doubles partner @simonebiles,” she wrote. Gymnast Simone Biles playfully responded, “Coming soon to a court near you.” 
No stranger to bold style choices, Serena has consistently delivered unforgettable looks both on and off the court. From a dazzling sheer gown at Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party to a chic monochromatic pink outfit for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Luncheon, she’s made it clear that blending in is not her style.
In a recent interview with InStyle, Serena opened up about her fashion confidence: “Having to deal with scrutiny…I think that has enabled me to be confident in whatever I put on.
Now a proud mother of two, Serena hopes to pass on that same confidence and individuality to her daughters, Olympia and Adira. She’s even teamed up with Janie and Jack for a limited-edition fashion line, inspiring the next generation to embrace bold style.
