Serena Williams Makes Simone Biles, Taylor Townsend and Others Go Gaga Over Her Gucci Look at Milan Fashion Week

23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams has built a persona beyond tennis that continues to draw attention. Her flair for fashion has been evident countless times, with striking ensembles showcasing her distinctive style. The recent Milan Fashion Week was no exception, where the American turned heads in Gucci’s semi-sheer black gown.

Her bold look even drew reactions from fellow athletes, including Taylor Townsend, Caroline Wozniacki and four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles.

How Did Serena Williams Steal the Show at the Milan Fashion Week?

Williams has long expressed her love for fashion through bold and distinctive looks, and her latest appearance at the premiere of the short film “The Tiger” during Milan Fashion Week further reinforced that flair.

The ‘Wyn Beauty’ founder looked stunning in a black long-sleeved, floor-length gown with a subtle train. Black and gray plumage adorned the hemline, sleeve cuffs and neckline, adding a dramatic touch. In fact, that also brought texture and dimension to the outfit, amplifying the boldness of her look.

Though the former world No. 1 stole the spotlight at the star-studded event, she also made sure her fans didn’t miss out. Williams took to Instagram to share pictures of her dazzling look, complete with a chic caption.

“Only playing the cards I was dealt ♠️ @gucci,” she wrote.

 

With her latest Instagram update, fans and fellow athletes quickly admired her Fashion Week look. Doubles world No. 2 Townsend’s reaction left no doubt about how impressed she was by Williams’ exceptional look.

“Snatched my breath away,” Townsend commented.

Furthermore, 2018 Grand Slam champion Wozniacki also shared a somewhat similar reaction in the comments.

“Mama Mia,” she wrote.

The admiration extended beyond the tennis world, with Biles weighing in. She wrote:

“damn ma !!!!”

It’s worth noting that The Tiger’s premiere aligned with renowned Georgian designer Demna’s debut as Gucci’s artistic director. Demna, formerly Balenciaga’s creative director, assumed the role in March.

Williams is widely recognized as one of the greatest tennis players, with 23 Grand Slam titles. But beyond her sporting achievements, the 43-year-old has forged a distinctive identity as an entrepreneur, founding the investment firm Serena Ventures and her beauty brand, Wyn.

Despite her commitments post-retirement, Williams embraces her role as a mother wholeheartedly. She is married to renowned tech entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian, and they are blessed with two adorable daughters, Olympia and Adira, who often share glimpses of their cherished family moments online.
