Venus Williams Just Wore The Onesie Like One Else

Venus Williams, the legendary tennis player, is making headlines for her groundbreaking approach to fashion.

At the Fashion Awards in London on Monday night (December 2), Williams showed up in an ensemble that challenged traditional notions of black-tie attire, stepping confidently into the fashion spotlight.

At the core of her stunning appearance was a black onesie, crafted with elegance and sophistication. This unique piece featured a button-up design with a plunging collar and wide-leg pants cropped at the shins, reminiscent of Bermuda shorts. Tailored and silky, it was anything but ordinary—setting a new standard for evening wear. The onesie was designed by none other than the esteemed Thom Browne, known for his innovative and avant-garde designs.

Complementing the onesie, Williams donned a matching coat from Browne, which featured structured shoulders and pronounced lapels, accentuated by silky lining that showcased a vibrant red, white, and blue stripe—a signature of the designer. This attention to detail not only highlighted her striking figure but also emphasized her status as a trendsetter within the fashion industry.

To complete her look, Williams opted for shiny black pumps with pointed toes, adding just the right touch of glamour. Layered gold and diamond necklaces contributed to the ensemble’s opulence, while diamond stud earrings sparkled with every movement. Her hair was elegantly styled in a curly, braided updo, and her makeup featured a shimmery charcoal smoky eye, enhancing her graceful presence as she walked the red carpet at the Royal Albert Hall.

Venus and her sister, Serena Williams, have long been recognized for their contributions to both sports and fashion. They have paved the way for women athletes to embrace their style, often transforming the tennis court into a runway with their bold fashion choices. Today, Venus continues to expand her influence in the arts and fashion, cementing her status as a cultural icon.

“People are like, ‘Hey. It’s cool to see you, but you can’t possibly be able to do something else,’ ” Williams said while speaking to Cultured. “They can put you in a box, and it’s so important to really know what you’re doing, be passionate about it, and just keep hauling away.”
