Serena Williams continued her reign on the Met Gala steps, this time in a stunning creation by Balenciaga.
The tennis powerhouse collaborated with the fashion house to bring a look inspired by their 51st couture collection’s 52nd piece.
This wasn’t just any dress — it took 150 hours of meticulous pattern-making and 25 meters of Italian gold foil-laminated taffeta to craft this couture masterpiece.
Serena completed the look with black gloves, gold hair accessories, and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch, staying true to the ‘Garden of Time’ theme.
