For the event, Williams wore a simple but sleek midi dress. Her fitted black dress from Miu Miu featured a square neckline and spaghetti straps. The dress was also covered with sparkly embellishments throughout for an extra touch of glam. Williams added hoop earrings but kept the rest of her accessories to a minimum.

Watch on FN

The FN cover star added a little more sparkle to her look through her shoes. She added black close-toe slingbacks to the ensemble with a band across the top of the foot covered in shimmery gems. The pointed-toe slingbacks featured a thin heel that reached at least 3 inches.

Williams is known as one of the most fashion-forward tennis players to ever play the game, and she continues that reputation on and off the court. She has a trendy sartorial sense that prompts her to wear beautiful pieces from brands like LoveShackFancy, Chanel and Burberry. As for shoes, Williams usually keeps a rotation of boots, pumps, sneakers and sandals from principled labels like Prada, Louis Vuitton and K-Swiss in her closet.
