Venus Williams attended Paris Fashion Week as a guest and surprised with an elegant outfit.

The 7-time Grand Slam champion has been increasing her presence on the WTA Tour in recent months. Despite not performing at the level of her youth, she managed to secure victories against Camila Giorgi and Veronika Kudermetova in recent months, giving some optimism about her desire to continue her career at the age of 43.

However, the life of the former world No. 1 is not solely dedicated to the tennis courts, as she is also a fashion icon who regularly participates in major events. She recently attended the Chloe Womenswear Spring/Summer 2024 fashion show during Paris Fashion Week on September 28 in Paris, France.

Williams wore an elegant ensemble from the French luxury fashion house. During the Chloe show, she donned a midi lace dress in ivory with a high neck and long sleeves. She complemented the dress with sandals adorned with buckles and stylish golden metallic heels.

To complete her look, she effortlessly draped a classic black coat over her shoulders. Her accessories included oversized sunglasses, a variety of jewelry pieces, and a compact beige leather mini bag.

The tennis star also mingled with other celebrities and fashion enthusiasts who attended the event, such as actress Olivia Wilde, Issa Rae, Kelly Rowland, Barbie's America Ferrera, and Vanessa Kirby.

The Chloe Spring/Summer 2024 collection was designed by Gabriela Hearst, who took over as creative director of the brand in 2020. The collection featured a blend of feminine and masculine elements, with fluid silhouettes, floral prints, knitwear, leather, denim, and tailoring.

The tennis legend will soon travel to Asia to compete in the WTA 250 Hana Bank Korea Open, which takes place in the South Korean capital, Seoul. Williams received a wild card invitation from the tournament organizers. The tournament's draw will also feature players such as Jessica Pegula (4th), Jelena Ostapenko (16th), Ekaterina Alexandrova (20th), Marie Bouzkova (30th), and Sofia Kenin (31st), among other star competitors.
