Williams also collaborated with Abloh for her 2019 French Open attire, which drew mixed reactions from both fans and the organizers. The designer who passed away in 2021 initially presented an idea that consisted of an extravagant dress that many would wear to the Met Gala. Williams wasn’t ‘brave enough’ to it wear it as it gave her a crazy ‘Met Gala’ feel and to this date regrets turning down the magnificent offer.

Williams’ relationship with the fashion industry

The 41-year-old has always had a thing for fashion. However, she initially prioritized tennis and as soon as he touched the peak and established her dominance on the court, she started exploring the other arenas.

Williams started her career as a businesswoman and entered the fashion industry as well. She has walked many red carpets and has been a show stealer several times. For example, this year, she dressed in a pink Gucci dress accessorized with black lace gloves and walked the red carpet at the 94th Academy Awards.
