Venus Williams served up a seriously stylish moment at the 2026 Met Gala. The tennis star, 45, embraced the "Costume Art" theme on the red carpet for fashion's biggest night on Monday, May 4, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Her sparkling black crystal mesh gown was inspired by Robert Pruitt's portrait entitled Venus Williams, Double Portrait, commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery. The necklace, nearly identical to the one in the painting, takes after the Venus Rosewater Dish, awarded to the Ladies' singles winner each year at Wimbledon.
