Tennis legend and fashion icon Serena Williams’ outfit for the Met Gala 2025 generated plenty of buzz ahead of the event after a renowned fashion mogul teased her show-stopping look, tipping her to be among the best-dressed at this year’s prestigious event. Williams was always known for her style on the court during her playing days and has maintained her style quotient after retiring.

Williams is among the greatest tennis players of all time, winning an unprecedented 23 Grand Slam titles during her glittering career. She is the only player in the history of the sport to achieve a Career Grand Slam in singles and doubles.

The American drew curtains on a remarkable career when she announced her retirement in 2022 and has since put all her focus on her multiple business ventures and spending time with her children, Olympia and Adira.

The former World No. 1 recently had a trial fitting for her Met Gala 2025 outfit with celebrated stylist Edward Enninful, a Ghanaian-born British fashion icon and former editor-in-chief of British Vogue. Enninful, who is in charge of Williams’ look, kept the details under wraps but boldly said she would be the “best dressed” at this year’s event.

In a video posted on Williams’ Instagram stories, Enninful said:

"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?"

Williams and Enninful are also powerful leaders of the Black community. Williams was only the second Black woman to win a Grand Slam in tennis and has championed the cause for the betterment of her community, while Enninful was the first-ever black person to become editor of British Vogue.
