'I'm Glad to See the Weight Back': Tennis Star's Pre-Met Gala Look Gets Fans Talking After Her 31-Pound Weight Loss
May 04, 2026

Tennis superstar Serena Williams dazzled in a stunning outfit at the Metro Gala after-party.
Serena Williams dazzled the crowds off the courts at the Met Gala, and she wowed the guests at the equally exclusive after-party she co-hosted with Kim Kardashian, Trevor Noah, LaLa Anthony, and Travis Scott.
And because she is a true diva, Serena doffed the stunning creation she'd worn to the Gala, and flaunted her to-die-for figure in something a lot hotter.
If the Met Gala is one of the most exclusive events of the year, the after-party held by some of the celebrity guests at the Up & Down nightclub garnered the creme-de-la-creme to ring in the dawn.
Up & Down welcomed such guests as Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Hailey Bieber, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and Lena Waithe.
The Met Gala after-party was sponsored by the luxe cannabis company, Kurvana. The guests got to sample the brands' Eucalyptus mint hemp-derived CBS vape pens, and sip on custom Casamigos Tequila cocktails while they munched on McDonald's World Famous Fries.

Serena was undoubtedly the belle of the after-party as she stripped down from her lavish Gala gown into a provocative corset and hot-pants by Versace that showed off her curvaceous figure.
Guests of the exclusive $35,000 a ticket Met Gala were spoiled for choice. They had to decide between the Serena Williams/ Kim Kardashian party and Idris Elba's at the Boom Boom Room at the Top of the Standard Hotel just a few blocks away.
Kendall Jenner sneaked off to her own party with ex Harry Styles at the Fleur Room in Chelsea; and for those who couldn't decide, Gucci threw a bash at a Hunter College gymnasium, attended by Miley Cyrus, Dakota Johnson, Karlie Kloss, and Demi Moore.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Serena Williams sizzled at the Met Gala's pink carpet in an irreverent creation by Atelier Versace in bright yellow, lavishly appliqued with 3D flowers and pink butterflies.
Serena co-chaired the 2019 Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Benefit with Anna Wintour, Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele, Harry Styles, and Lady Gaga, and chose to accessorize the extravagant gown with yellow Nike sneakers.
The bright yellow footwear added the perfect note to the outfit which embodied the gala’s theme, Camp: Notes on Fashion, perfectly.
