Serena Williams drapes in a pink dress at the LA premiere of ‘Creed III’ – WWD

Serena Williams was a champion for pink at Monday’s premiere of “Creed III” in Los Angeles.

To celebrate the film’s premiere, the famous pro tennis star shone in a majestic pink dress with a open back and draped cape sleeves. The dress featured dainty additions of drapes around her waist and neckline. She accessorised them with heart-shaped earrings and open-toed silver heels. For the hair, she went full of glam, tucking her honey blonde tresses into a sleek bun with an elegant side bang. Her makeup channeled a similar theme, with soft pink eye shadow, light blush and delicate lashes.

The athlete, who announced her retirement from the coveted sport in 2022, donned another romantic ensemble for the NAACP Image Awards this month, where she was honored with the prestigious Jackie Robinson Award for her outstanding career in tennis and her impact on sports history. She received the remarkable award in a tailored black velvet dress by Brandon Blackwood, adding a sheer bra to complement the plunging neckline of her dress. Williams opted for a sportier ensemble for Moncler’s The Art of Genius event on February 21, where she wore a green Palm Angels jacket with varsity striped cuff sleeves, a pleated mini skirt, and a Moncler graphic tee .

Creed III is the third film in the Creed series and the ninth film in the Rocky series, which originally began in 1976 and starred Sylvester Stallone. The Creed franchise follows the story of Apollo Creed’s son, who served as the antagonist in the first two Rocky films, and his rise to boxing stardom. Michael B. Jordan plays the title character of the film Adonis Creed. In addition to Jordan, the cast also includes Jonathan Majors, Tessa Thompson, Florian Munteanu and Canelo Álvarez. Creed III opens in US cinemas on Friday.
