Venus Williams was among the A-list attendees who descended on London for the 2024 Fashion Awards on Monday. Hosted by the British Fashion Council, the annual event celebrates the best moments and designers in the fashion industry throughout the year. The seven-time Grand Slam champion opted for her own sophisticated spin on suiting, favoring a design courtesy of Thom Browne.
Williams’ look featured a black jumpsuit with a hemline at the calf. The garment featured a plunging neckline and a few buttons running down the front placket of the piece. Williams continued her all-black attire, complete with a black coat with sharp lapels by Thom Browne, which she wore over her shoulders.
Williams also wore a pair of black pointed-toe pumps to complete her overall red carpet sartorial statement. When it came to her accessories, Williams wore a series of layered necklaces and opted for simple stud earrings.
The tennis star pulled her hair up in a tight updo, with a few wisps of hair to frame her face. Her makeup featured a classic look with a bold, glossy lip and smokey eyes.
Williams’ designer monochrome look nods to one of the most popular red carpet trends from 2024. Several celebrities opted for monochrome attire during the year, styling looks for the BET Awards, red carpet premieres and more in one single color, demonstrating the aesthetic’s appeal and versatility. For the Fashion Awards, Williams elevated the style with a suited spin.
The Fashion Awards is an annual fundraising event hosted by the British Fashion Council. The 2024 edition of the event features such categories as Model of the Year, British Menswear Designer, British Womenswear Designer and Designer of the Year — John Galliano, Jonathan Anderson and Miuccia Prada are among six designers competing in the Designer of the Year category.
