Serena Williams Wore Dolce & Gabbana To The 2024 ESSENCE Black Women In Business Dinner

Serena Williams attended the 2024 ESSENCE Black Women in Business Dinner at the Four Seasons New Orleans on Friday, where we saw an up-turn in her red carpet look.

The last time the tennis champion wore a Dolce & Gabbana look it was far too twee for her, and the biggest surprise was that it was a custom design.

She was back to her stunning best wearing a black Dolce & Gabbana dress featuring the brand’s signature lingerie-inspired bralette and a sensual open-back design. This minimalist approach not only highlighted her stunning figure, it also proved that simplicity can make a powerful statement, especially with bodycon dresses.

These nude shoes would not have been my first choice, but I guess the beaded necklace ties them in.

Stylist: Lyndrea Price.
