Serena Williams On The Runway In Gucci At Milan Fashion Week: Photos

Serena Williams made a striking impression at Milan Fashion Week, turning heads at Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2026 show held at the historic Palazzo Mezzanotte.

The tennis legend and fashion icon arrived in a dramatic semi-sheer black gown, complete with feather trim embellishing the neckline, sleeves, and hem—an ensemble that effortlessly blended elegance with bold flair.

The event not only featured Gucci’s latest runway looks but also premiered The Tiger, a short film co-directed by Spike Jonze and Halina Reijn, underscoring the fusion of fashion and cinematic artistry.

Williams later took to Instagram to share a carousel of images from the evening, captioning the post with her signature wit: “Only playing the cards I was dealt. @gucci.”

A regular front-row fixture, Serena joined fellow A-listers Gwyneth Paltrow, Lila Moss, Alia Bhatt, and BTS’ Jin at the show.

Her deep-rooted ties to fashion include launching her own clothing line, Serena, in 2018, walking for Balmain in 2022, and making history in 2023 as the first athlete to receive the CFDA Fashion Icon Award.

From opening the Vogue World show in NYC in 2024 to attending Paris Fashion Week’s top labels, Williams continues to redefine what it means to be both a champion and a fashion trailblazer.
