When it comes to ESPYs style, Serena Williams most definitely smashed it.
The retired tennis star, 42, hosted the athletic awards ceremony on Thursday night, wearing a whopping eight different outfits over the course of the evening.
Williams walked the 2024 ESPY Awards red carpet wearing a sleek black Armani Privé gown with crystal detailing at the straps, bodice and train.
Her light blond hair was styled in voluminous waves, while David Yurman jewelry completed the look.

once inside the Dolby Theatre, however, the fun fashion kept on coming, with Williams changing into a custom pink feathered minidress from Galia Lahav and even switching up her hairstyle.
“You may be wondering why am I doing this,” Williams told the audience at one point before cracking a joke. “First of all, any opportunity to wear 16 outfits in three hours, I’m taking it.”
The fashion school graduate was only partially kidding.
Williams worked with her stylist, Kesha Mcleod, to pull a variety of other playful pieces for her hosting gig — including a sheer long-sleeved corset dress and a dramatic leopard-print look, both by Dolce & Gabbana.
The four-time Olympic gold medalist also took the stage in a double-breasted David Koma mini adorned with a silvery embroidered feather, along with a red leather blazer dress.
She also made sure to meet up with pal Meghan Markle, whose sleek white Oscar de la Renta gown was quite the contrast from the athlete’s custom Ferragamo dress covered in patent leather sequins and ostrich feathers.
Even when the awards show ended, Williams wasn’t done changing her outfits.
She showed up at the afterparty in a sleeveless neon minidress and white sneakers that nodded to her roots.
However, the fashion wasn’t the only thing Williams slayed on ESPYs night.
Alongside Quinta Brunson and her sister, Venus Williams, the host took aim at NFL pro Harrison Butker while speaking about women’s sports.
“Go ahead and enjoy women’s sports like you would any other sport,” Venus encouraged the audience.
“Except you, Harrison Butker, we don’t need you,” Serena noted, before Brunson added, “At all, like, ever.”
Another grand slam for Serena!
