Serena Williams was in high spirits as she conversed with Anna Wintour while seated front row at the Thom Browne haute couture show during Paris Fashion Week on Monday.
The tennis legend, 42, looked exceptionally stylish in a corset featuring a Daschund print, layered over a coordinated striped shirt and tie. She paired this with a matching mini skirt and draped a red checked blazer over her shoulders. Carrying her essentials in a striking red handbag shaped like a dog, valued at £1,350, she added height with black lace-up boots.
Meanwhile, Anna Wintour appeared elegant in a pink midi dress paired with a cream blazer draped over her shoulders and matching strappy heels. The Vogue editor-in-chief, 74, accessorized with multiple beaded necklaces and her signature dark sunglasses.
Serena and Anna appeared to be enjoying themselves as they sat alongside Will Poulter and Teyana Taylor at the fall/winter show. Actor Will, 31, looked sharp in a grey checked shirt paired with a white T-shirt and wide-legged trousers. He carried a large black bag and wore comfortable black shoes.
Elsewhere, Jodie Turner-Smith showcased her trendy style in a white racer bodysuit adorned with a tie and collar print, paired with grey bouclé shorts and quirky knee-high white boots. Teyana Taylor exuded effortless cool in an oversized double-breasted grey blazer as she joined the front row audience for the fashion show.
Previously, Serena had been joined by her sister Venus Williams on Sunday at the Vogue World Paris fashion show, where they modeled sport-inspired gowns. Serena flaunted her figure in a blue, black, and white Off White dress with a sporty top half and flowing fishtail skirt. Venus made a statement in a custom Marine Serre creation made from repurposed tennis bags, featuring a high leg slit and accessorized with black kitten heels.
This year’s Vogue World event celebrated a collaboration with youth athletic academies across France, merging different sports with a century of French fashion history. Venus commented on her look, praising Marine Serre for embodying femininity, athleticism, and chicness, and making her feel empowered and confident.
The Williams sisters brought their vibrant energy to the Place Vendôme runway, accompanied by Bad Bunny’s performance of four of his Һit songs, including “Vou 787”, in a celebration of tennis and 2000s fashion.
