Venus Williams Opts for Classics in Glossy Black Pumps at The Fashion Awards 2024 in London

Venus Williams attended The Fashion Awards 2024 presented by Pandora at the Royal Albert Hall today in London. Beyond Williams, other notable attendees included Halle Bailey, Chloe Bailey, Harris Reed, Laura Haddock and Munroe Bergdorf, among others.

The renowned tennis star went the classic route, sporting a pair of black pumps. The shoe pick included glossy leather uppers that transitioned into sharp pointed toes and 2 to 3-inch stiletto heels. Simple but effective, black pumps offer any ensemble a chic and clean finish, acting as a supporting character to denim, dresses and more.

Those looking to channel Williams‘ look can shop similar styles via brands like Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Amina Muaddi, Ralph Lauren and Stuart Weitzman, among a slew of others. There’s a reason black pumps boast longevity. The silhouette is endlessly versatile and comes in a variety of sizes and styles. Black pumps also come in a range of finishes ranging from suede to leather and even mohair.

Accompanying her all-black footwear, the athlete wore a monochromatic black look in a tailored formal style. Williams’ ensemble consisted of a black suiting-inspired jumpsuit featuring a plunging neckline and capri-length trousers. Layered overtop, she wore a wool coat draped over the shoulders with black leather trim throughout. The coat’s lining was striped in shades of red, white and blue, a signature of designers like Thom Browne.

Williams is known as one of the most fashion-forward tennis players to ever play the game, and she continues that reputation on and off the court. She has a trendy sartorial sense that prompts her to wear beautiful pieces from brands like LoveShackFancy, Chanel and Burberry. As for shoes, Williams usually keeps a rotation of boots, pumps, sneakers and sandals from principled labels like Prada, Louis Vuitton and K-Swiss in her closet.
