Venus Williams glowed while hitting up the after party circuit after appearing on the Met Gala 2024 red carpet on May 6, 2024 in New York City.
The tennis pro wore Gianvito Rossi Portofino 105 shoes in silver. The Italian made, open-toe, leather sandal has a strap around the ankle and one over the toe. The slim stiletto heel measures 4.1-inches.
Williams is an avid fan of an open-toe shoe. Just last month, she wore a black pair of Le Silla ‘strappy ‘Bella’ sandals at the premiere of “Challengers” in Los Angeles. She even sported a similar silver pair of a low-heel, metallic silver sandal at the WYN Beauty launch party on April 3 in New York City. Then in September of 2023, she wore a pair of brown slip on sandals with two large gold buckles for Paris Fashion Week.
Williams posed elegantly in a black jeweled dress with her feet pointed outward and her shoes on full display in a hallway when her look was complete after her night at the Met Gala. She was seen switching into a flat pair of shoes later in the evening as she left the afterparties.
