Tennis stars Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Serena Williams made a glamorous appearance at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California, on March 2, 2025.
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka attracted attention in a tight-fitting, sparkly brown knitted gown adorned with a floral detail on her stomach. A quick Google search suggests that the dress was first seen at the Amiri Ready to Wear Fall/Winter 2025-2026 fashion show during Paris Men’s Fashion Week in January. True to the runway look, Sabalenka paired the gown with a brown leather jacket and oversized sunglasses. Her hair was styled in a sleek, middle-parted low bun, maintaining her signature polished look.
When I first saw Sabalenka’s photos from the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, I couldn’t help but think it might be a pregnancy reveal. It seems I wasn’t alone—social media comments echoed similar thoughts. While I don’t believe she is pregnant, the dress’s knitted texture unexpectedly creates the illusion of a wider stomach, making her look like as if she is expecting.
Personally, I’m not a fan of sunglasses on the red carpet, as they seem to ruin the elegant vibe. Additionally, I was surprised to learn that this dress debuted at a men’s fashion show, as it certainly doesn’t look like men’s fashion. That said, Sabalenka has shown a flair for androgynous looks, as evidenced by her striking appearance at a recent Audemars Piguet event, where she rocked a men’s suit and absolutely nailed the look.

Coco Gauff radiated elegance in two vibrant Miu Miu dresses. The first, a custom light green design with delicate straps, was embellished with sparkling green crystals, which she wore to the Vanity Fair party. The second was a breathtaking yellow gown that highlighted her youthful grace at the 97th Annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre.

Serena Williams, 43, commanded attention in a dramatic black Dolce & Gabbana dress with a heart-shaped neckline. The gown featured a sparkly, lace-like tight top and a long tulle skirt that trailed behind her. A super-deep slit revealed her athletic leg, adding a touch of boldness to the look.

Serena completed her glamorous ensemble with a Beyoncé-inspired hairstyle—long, subtly curled blonde locks. The photos from the event show Serena mingling with a host of celebrities, including Camila Cabello, Kim Kardashian, Mary J. Blige, Paris Hilton, and Mick Jagger.

In my opinion, both Coco’s outfits look too old for her and she could have done with something a bit less stately. Aryna looks awful – that colour brown suits almost nobody and certainly not her. And yes the sunglasses! Serena looks pretty good although I’m not sure what she is doing to her face.
