Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss attended the 2023 Met Gala in New York on Monday night sporting baby bumps — both confirmed they are pregnant.
Williams, accompanied by her husband Alexis Ohanian, wore Gucci for the occasion. Williams’ plunging mermaid-cut gown featured pleated sleeves, crisp white cuffs and diamanté trim around the skirt and neckline.
In a nod to Karl Lagerfeld‘s decades-long career at Chanel, Williams wore one of the fashion house’s favorite motifs: pearls. Her headband and Tiffany & Co. necklaces featured pearls, and the brand also made Williams’ floral diamond earrings and white gold ring.
