Venus Williams is still a very prominent name in the world of tennis. Even though she has been away from the WTA circuit, she is still one of the most followed tennis athletes around the world. Very recently, she visited Paris with her sister, Isha Price.

The main purpose of the trip was to go to Louis Vuitton and Virgil Abloh’s Fashion show, which Venus Williams visits on a regular basis. But this show was more important as it was their last show together because of the demise of the famed designer Virgil Abloh last year.
