Serena Williams may not be competing at the 2024 Olympics, but she is absolutely still winning—the fashion game, that is.

 

The tennis champion arrived in style at today’s opening ceremony in Paris, accompanied by husband Alexis Ohanian and their six-year-old daughter, Olympia. For the festivities, Williams opted for a bold red-hot monochrome moment.

This look consisted of an exquisite red midi dress, featuring a skintight bodycon silhouette, a square neckline, mid-length sleeves, and ruching all along the garment. Williams color-coordinated with a shiny red leather top-handle purse, and finished off the look with brown pointed-toe pumps, a tennis bracelet, and a silver watch.

Williams started the party earlier this week by attending a pre-Olympics event at the Louis Vuitton Foundation on Thursday.

 

For that event, she kicked off her Paris fashion streak with an ultra-suave three-piece suit by Louis Vuitton, including an oversize blazer (which she wore over her shoulders, without her arms in the sleeves), a button-up vest, and pin-tucked straight-leg pants. To complete the ensemble, she added black pumps, a blue-and-green checkered box bag, and a sophisticated diamond-encrusted necklace.

In April, Williams opened up about her attitude toward sports and style in an interview with Marie Claire.

 

“I think women in particular are embracing that you can be strong and beautiful at the same time. Before as a lady athlete, you couldn’t wear makeup or else you weren’t taken seriously. And if you did, then it was like, ‘Oh, she’s not a serious athlete and she won’t be as good,’ ” she said. “Now you can be strong, you can be beautiful, you can do all of that at the same time. I feel like that narrative, seeing myself and my sister on the big stages of Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, being ourselves and wearing great outfits and looking our best, really changed women’s sports—which is crazy. But it definitely changed women’s sports as a whole.”
