The WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz was well-represented at the 2026 Met Gala on Monday night in New York City.<\/p>\n

Venus Williams co-chaired the annual fundraising event, widely regarded as the most prestigious fashion event in the world, and Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka were also in attendance.<\/p>\n

It was the middle of the night in Rome when the celebrities were showing off their unique and innovative looks at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, but World No. 4 Coco Gauff got up to speed on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Ahead of her opening match at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia, she told reporters who caught her eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I really liked Emma Chamberlain’s look,” said Gauff, who sparkled on the cover of Vogue back in 2024<\/a>. “Hers was cool. Serena and Venus, obviously Naomi. I got to get the tennis girls. They all looked great. Who was my favorite? I really liked Wisdom Kaye. He’s a fashion influencer. Ciara, too.”<\/p>\n

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka also marveled at the fashion statements, on an evening where the theme was “Fashion is Art.”<\/p>\n

“I love it,” Sabalenka told reporters in Rome. “I was having dinner yesterday. We were chatting with girls [and saying] that we’re going to go back home and go through the looks because we were just having fun. When I got back home, I really loved [it]. So many cool [stories] behind the outfits. All of them were stunning.”<\/p>\n

Venus Williams — who co-chaired the star-studded event with Beyonce, Nicole Kidman and Anna Wintour — wore a custom crystal black gown by Swarovski. She also had a neck plate full of pearls, which was partially inspired by Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

Serena Williams was in head-to-toe silver, with an asymmetrical gown and shoes designed by Marc Jacobs.<\/p>\n

Osaka, who is playing Rome, wore a sculpted ivory coat with red feathers, which featured open seams exposing red crystals. She complemented it with a matching oversized wide-brimmed hat.<\/p>\n

Gauff, who made the final in Rome last year, is seeded fourth this week. She received a bye into the second round, where she’ll play either Yulia Putintseva or Tereza Valentova.<\/p>\n

Sabalenka is the top seed, and she’ll play two-time Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejcikova in her opening match.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz was well-represented at the 2026 Met Gala on Monday night in New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[8,85,1200],"class_list":{"0":"post-18747","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-osaka","8":"tag-japan","9":"tag-osaka","10":"tag-text"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
