The Met Gala took place on September 14 in New York, and as expected, several celebrities graced the occasion with lovely outfits. Netizens had a lot to say about Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams' outfits.

Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams recently sent tennis fans into a frenzy with their appearances at the annual Met Gala in New York. The duo was among 400 guests invited to the event, initially slated for May 2020.

Several fashion industries and magazines took to their official Instagram pages to share pictures of the pair in their magnificent outfits. TheYBF posted a photo of Osaka clad in a Louis Vuitton gown with a print of multicolored koi fish.

Osaka's outfit was designed by her sister Mari, and the tennis star donned it to represent her biracial heritage. Her hair was styled in a traditional Haitian and Japanese way, and she finished off with a pair of boots.

Fashionbombdaily also posted a picture of Osaka wearing the same outfit but posing differently. On the other hand, Williams opted for a slick bodysuit, an elaborate feathered cape designed by Gucci, and silver shoes.

Williams beamed with confidence and elegance as she posed with one hand on her waist. Essence captured the memorable moment and updated fans with it on their Instagram page.

After pictures of the pair were splattered on social media, netizens wasted no time airing their thoughts. While some noted that the team looked great, others bashed the stars for their appearances.

Osaka withdrew after being threatened and sanctioned by Tennis authorities.

One user questioned why Osaka looked like she was about to cry, and another said the star's hair was destroying her overall appearance. A third fan made it known that Osaka mixed several designers, and they were clashing.

A fourth user wrote, "It's a strong no for me," while another respondent tagged Osaka's outfit as dreadful. Williams was not spared as a user described her outfit as a hot mess, and a second said her cape looked like a bathroom rug.

A third fan noted that she loved Williams, but she felt like changing her look from head to toe. In addition, the user said Williams's stylist was wrong for giving the star a hideous look. Another user wrote, "Hot Messsss WHAT SHE GOT ON."

Osaka and Williams were only two out of the numerous tennis stars in attendance. The likes of Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova also turned heads with their dazzling outfits. Snaps shared on Sharapova's Insta story saw her posing with Williams at the event.

Irrespective of the on-court rivalry between tennis stars, they have learned to love and support one another amid negative comments.

Williams put her selfless side on display during the French Open after showing her support to Osaka following the latter's withdrawal from the tournament.

Osaka withdrew after being threatened and sanctioned by Tennis authorities for avoiding press conferences. Williams noted that she understood Osaka's plight and wished she could hug the young star.
