The Met Gala is an annual invitation-only fundraiser for the Costume Institute, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is the chair of the evening, and a close friend of Williams, who is a frequent attendee of the annual event.
Last year, Serena Williams said she has not retired from tennis yet and that the chances of her returning to the court are “very high” after she previously indicated that she would step away from the sport after the recently concluded US Open.
Having won 23 grand slam titles, Williams retired from professional tennis in September to spend more time with her daughter Olympia, who was born in 2017.
Speaking with Vogue at the time, Williams explained how she was “evolving away from tennis” and that she wanted to expand her family.
Williams also launched her own fashion label, S by Serena, in 2018 and has collaborated with Nike on a line of fashion-inspired active wear.
The athlete, 41, is considered to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time, while her husband Ohanian is an internet entrepreneur and investor, best known for co-founding Reddit.
Williams’ fellow tennis champion, Roger Federer, was also present at the event.
The Swiss co-chaired the evening alongside Wintour and Grammy-winning songstress DuaLipa, actress Penélope Cruz and writer, actor and producer Michaela Coel.
Model Karlie Kloss also confirmed her second pregnancy at the event.
