Serena Williams Does Modern Glam in Feather Gloves & Velvet Gown at LACMA Gala
Serena Williams brought major glamour in a bold gown to the 2021 LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles.
The tennis star hit the red carpet with husband Alexis Ohanian in a Gucci gown. The mixed-texture piece featured a black strapless bodice covered in rosettes and sequins, as well as a long black velvet skirt cinched with a silky waist sash. Williams’ look was amplified with drama from two sheer gloves, both covered in black sequins and accessorized with voluminous black feathers. Her look was complete with dazzling drop earrings and a black silk choker, which featured a large pink flower accent.
When it came to shoes, Williams’ footwear couldn’t be seen beneath her gown. However, it’s possible the Grand Slam-winning athlete wore one of her go-to styles for the occasion. Williams has regularly been spotted on past red carpets in strappy sandals or pointed-toe pumps, usually from top brands like Giuseppe Zanotti and Gianvito Rossi.
