At the premiere of ‘King Richard, Venus wore a gorgeous silver dress. Along with the dress, the spotlight was on the iconic silver beads that she wore. Just after the premiere, Venus shared a picture on her Instagram, highlighting the historic and cultural importance of beads.

In the Instagram post shared, Venus wrote, “When @serenawilliams and I wore our iconic beads, we didn’t wear them to be different, we wore them because they were a part of our heritage.
