Breaking news:Venus Williams Returns to the US Open in a Custom Khaite Tennis Dress and Lacoste Sneakers:see more
There’s no better way to kick off the 2025 US Open than with Venus Williams on center court. On August 19, the tennis legend returned to New York’s Billie Jean King National Tennis Center for her 24th turn at the tournament. Though she lost the first mixed doubles match, her custom Khaite outfit was a total serve.
Since Williams was noticeably absent from the lineup last year, she (and her stylist, Ronald Burton) enlisted the New York label to make her return even more grand. Next to her partner, Reilly Opelka, Williams stole the show in a navy tennis dress, with white lining along the square neckline, cap sleeves, and thigh-length skort. It matched her white visor, which Khaite also created just for her. The cap-less hat was mostly stark white, apart from navy knots atop each temple.
According to Khaite, a circular cutout made up most of the dress’s back, showcasing a matching peek-a-boo bralette. If you look closely enough, you’ll see its white lining underneath the front of her neckline. Rumor has it, it was attached to the mini dress—a common comfort-first requisite for athletes.
In true Williams form, she didn’t pick just any chunky white sneakers to compete in. Knowing her, she probably spent hours testing different footwear, ultimately narrowing her search to Lacoste’s $140 Tech Point Tennis Shoes.
