Serena Williams Is A Real-Life Superhero — and Supervillain — on the Meta Gala Red Carpet

With a theme like Camp [1], we could only expect the 2019 Meta Gala red carpet [2] to be a full-on spectacle . . . and man, oh man were we right. While co-chair Lady Gaga [3]'s theatrical reveal/striptease/cabaret-esque production of her Brandon Maxwell dress of many dresses has gone on for more than 12 minutes, Serena Williams has hit the carpet looking like a real-life superhero and supervillain.

What do we mean? In an electric-hued chartreuse gown by Versace with glitter-flecked autumnal leaves, our first instinct was to assume a reference to the fictional cartoon supervillain, Poison Ivy. And channelling a superhero on the red carpet sounds pretty darn campy to us! To level-up the camp factor, the tennis champion revealed coordinating Off-White x Nike high-top sneakers for a result that we can categorise as comfy-camp done right.

Ahead, scroll through for a look at Serena's dress from every angle, including her killer sneakers that we need in our closets ASAP.
