Retired tennis star Serena Williams stole the spotlight even before the highly anticipated Met Gala kicked off. Interestingly, the 43-year-old not only left her fans speechless but also caught the attention of fellow Olympian Simone Biles.

Serena Williams delivered one of the most memorable moments of the 2025 Met Gala on Monday, May 5 - not just because of her stunning dress – but also for the joyful red carpet energy she brought. The tennis great stepped onto the carpet at the Met in an elaborate off the shoulder gown that was a kind of shimmering pale mint color.
