Hollywood A-listers gathered at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City on Monday night to celebrate the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Fashion Awards and there were sartorial showstoppers galore! A dress we couldn't help but notice was sported by former tennis champion Serena Williams who went for an all-new look.
The sportswoman, 42, arrived in a floor-length black sequin gown by Thom Browne. The dress featured a plunging sweetheart neckline and square straps with a corseted bodice which came down into a ruched mermaid skirt with a long train, covered too in black sequins.

The mother-of-two also tied the pearls from her dramatic sleeves together with her accessories in the form of pearl and silver earrings – an understated touch by comparison.

She wore eyelashes that accentuated the outer corner of her eye for a fluttery aesthetic and a simple cool-toned nude lip in a matte finish. Her hair was worn in a simple updo with small strands of hair left loose to frame her face.

The gown was covered in the brand's iconic cross design and had tassels trailing around the bottom of the skirt. She completed the look with a 90s Pamela Anderson updo and black stiletto nails.

The Ghost actress, 60, posed alongside fashion designer Wes Gordon in a slinky midi-length dress covered in silver sequins with added applique flowers in sequins and pearls. The actress wore her waist-length hair down and straightened and held a simple black clutch to match her black open-toe heels.

The mermaid-fit feel was obviously in the air as the actress' dress followed a similar silhouette to Serena's except for a tulle ruffle at the base of the skirt.

When not at events as prestigious as the CFDA Awards, Serena Williams spends time raising her two daughters, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr, six, and Adira River Ohanian, three months, whom she shares with husband and internet entrepreneur, Alexis Ohanian.
