Tennis icon and style icon Serena Williams once again proved she’s a force beyond the court, gracing the 2025 Met Gala red carpet in a show-stopping aqua-blue creation from Moncler that turned heads and made statements.

Decked in an ethereal ensemble that looked like it was spun from clouds, Serena’s off-the-shoulder dress featured a soft cowl neckline and a sheer spiral twist cascading down the skirt. She walked with grace in satin heels that echoed the chill elegance of her gown, but it was her fluffy, down-panel cape — or rather, shawl — that really stole the spotlight. Flowing behind her like a frosty breeze, it added a touch of bold drama to the cozy couture.

Accessorizing with silver wing-shaped barrettes and statement earrings, Serena effortlessly blended strength and femininity — a balance she has long mastered on both the tennis court and the red carpet.

This marks her eighth appearance at the Met Gala, and if her track record is anything to go by, it certainly won’t be her last. Over the years, she’s given fashion lovers plenty to talk about: from the feathered ombré Gucci cape to a celestial Oscar de la Renta piece. The Met Gala has even served as a personal stage for her — she revealed her first pregnancy at the 2017 event and used the 2023 gala to announce her second child.

In 2019, she wasn’t just a guest — she was a cochair, helping lead the gala under the whimsical “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme. That night, she boldly donned a custom neon yellow Atelier Versace gown with pink floral details and, staying true to her roots, paired it with matching Off-White x Nike sneakers.

Whether on the tennis court or the carpeted steps of the Met, Serena Williams continues to deliver — with elegance, impact, and unapologetic flair.
