Venus Williams may be one of the most iconic athletes in tennis history, but at the 2025 US Open she reminded the world that her influence extends far beyond the court. The seven time Grand Slam champion brought high fashion energy to Flushing Meadows, turning her matches into unforgettable style moments.
For her first appearance in mixed doubles, Venus wore a striking navy tennis dress from New York label Khaite. The design balanced sport and glamour with crisp white trim, cap sleeves, and an open back accented by a bralette detail. It was classic yet daring, and perfectly captured Venus’s reputation for blending elegance with edge.
Later in the tournament she delivered what many called her boldest look of the week—an all white ensemble by ERL designer Eli Russell Linnetz. The outfit included a crisp polo shirt, pleated mini skirt, tailored jacket, and visor, finished with Lacoste sneakers. The standout piece, however, was her fuzzy shearling racket bag, an unexpected accessory that instantly went viral. The retro inspired bag gave a playful nod to 90s style while showing that Venus is still pushing boundaries in tennis fashion.
She continued her fashion streak with a pleated charcoal merino wool dress paired with a statement jacket by Luar during an exhibition appearance. Each look reinforced that Venus approaches the court not just as an athlete but also as a fashion innovator.
Even after an emotional first round exit, Venus’s style presence remained unforgettable. Her ensembles reminded fans that she has always used tennis as a stage for creativity, proving that fashion and sport can thrive together. At the US Open, she may not have advanced far in the draw, but she once again set the standard for tennis fashion.
