It’s that time of the year when Hollywood and Sports meet Fashion and the result usually is nothing short of iconic. The Met Gala undoubtedly is fashion’s biggest night of the year and the stage is set for the Metropolitan Museum of Art to welcome the stars gracing this event. Supervised by Vogue’s global editorial director Anna Wintour, a big tennis fan herself, the 2024 Met Gala will have its own share of sporting celebrities.
The guest list for the gala is usually kept under wraps hours before it starts but celebrities have the tendency to drop sneak-peeks for fans of their outfits. Anna Wintour has chosen “Sleeping Beauties” as the theme for this year and she expects celebs to wear a lot of “flowers”. Coming to tennis’ presence at the Gala, Serena Williams has always led the way followed by her sister Venus Williams in terms of the no. of appearances.
However, Russian legend Maria Sharapova has also ensured that her regal presence was felt multiple times over the past decade. Remember in 2021 when Sharapova and Serena broke the internet with their iconic photo from the Met? Well, buckle up tennis fans. You are in for a treat as the sport’s iconic rival duo could very well repeat the same feat this year.

Back in 2023, Serena stunned the sporting world by announcing her pregnancy on the red carpet alongside husband Alexis Ohanian. Sharapova, on the other hand, gave the gala a miss last year. A fact to note here is that the 2023 Met was co-chaired by none other than Roger Federer. Imagine the hype if all the three of them had gotten together for a photo?

Coming to Serena Williams, she started off a bit late than Maria in giving an update to her fans about her presence. The American icon shares a “cool package” from Ashley Graham, who will be hosting one of the red-carpet shows for Vogue. If this acts as a teaser for her confirmed presence at the Gala, Serena’s latest Instagram stories ensure that she is all set to own the red-carpet once again this year.
It might be difficult even for Serena to top last year’s show-stealing outfit plus the pregnancy reveal but if she could manage a pose with her tennis rival Maria Sharapova like she did in 2021, that will be more than enough to keep internet and fans buzzing throughout this week.
