Remember Serena Williams’ dazzling appearance at the Met Gala in 2017? “Attending the Met Gala while pregnant with Olympia in 2017—and just last year with Adira—will always hold a special place in my heart,” she later said, reflecting on the moment. And truly, don’t we all love seeing her grace those glamorous evenings? Nearly 3 years after stepping away from the court, the tennis legend continues to redefine elegance, whether it’s her WYN Beauty showcase in Miami or her stunning fashion statements. Now, as this year’s Met Gala draws near, Serena has once again left fans awestruck by teasing her look on TikTok. Even gymnastics superstar Simone Biles couldn’t help but show her excitement, adding to the growing buzz around Serena’s new look! Curious, what’s got her hyped?
The 23-time GS winner and fashion powerhouse Serena Williams sparked a wave of excitement ahead of the 2025 Met Gala. Known for her flair both on and off the court, the tennis icon has continued to dazzle in the fashion world since retiring from professional tennis. This year, she teamed up with celebrated stylist Edward Enninful before the Met Gala, a Ghanaian-born British fashion visionary and former editor-in-chief of ‘British Vogue,’, for what’s being tipped as one of the standout looks of the prestigious night.
Ahead of the event, Williams had a trial fitting with Enninful, who hinted that fans should prepare for something extraordinary later. In a video shared to her IG stories, Enninful expressed his excitement, saying: “I am at a fitting with the incredible Serena Williams. It’s been a dream come true for me to dress Serena for the Met. The Met is tomorrow and yeah, we’re gonna kill it. She’s going to be the best dressed, what can I say?” While the exact details were kept under wraps, expectations soared, and rightly so!

That’s not all, as Serena Williams gave fans an exclusive look behind the scenes of her Met Gala 2025 glam session through her different social media handles. Alongside the fitting video featuring Edward Enninful, she also uploaded a glimpse of her makeup session while wearing a striking yellow gown. Tagging her own beauty brand, WYN, Serena highlighted her transformation with signature flair.
As her preparation continued, Serena added a touch of fun by singing a tune while getting styled in her elegant white gown. The last clip in her IG stories was a re-share of her photo carousel post, giving fans a full-circle moment of the evening’s highlights and aesthetic.
On X, the tennis icon posted a stunning snapshot of herself in the same white dress, captioned simply, “The night before … Met!” Meanwhile, her glam squad also joined in as hairstylist Angela reposted Serena’s look, and makeup artist Keita Moore shared raw footage of her glam process, complete with five playful white duck emojis.

Remember last month when NBA icon LeBron James made waves by entering the iconic Barbie universe? Mattel rolled out a game-changing addition to its collection, the Barbie Signature ‘LeBron James Kenbassador Doll’. Honoring his 2-decade influence in culture, style, and community, LeBron became Barbie’s 1st-ever Kenbassador. Retailing at $75, the collectible doll is available at select Target stores and online platforms, including Target.com, Amazon, Walmart, and Mattel Creations.
The 43-year-old icon Serena Williams couldn’t resist joining in the celebration. Recently, she shared a short video on IG, unveiling the LeBron James doll and calling it a perfect gift for her daughters. Holding the box featuring the tagline “Where legacy lives,” Serena highlighted the doll’s stylish blue jacket and the set’s additional outfits. Beaming with pride, she said, “When I first read about this, I was like how dope is that. Look at this; LeBron James Barbie, Isn’t it crazy? Like the first kindle. You know, my girls love Barbie. I love this and can’t wait for the girls to play with this.”
Indeed, a gift wrapped in greatness and inspiration, isn’t it? This event is significant, occurring one year after Barbie’s tribute to Venus Williams, Serena’s sister. As part of its 65th anniversary, Mattel released 9 dolls honoring iconic female athletes, including Venus and Canadian soccer star Christine Sinclair!
