Serena Williams opted for a glamorous monochrome black ensemble to attend the 2025 Time100 Gala in New York City on Thursday, and a pair of glossy Christian Louboutin pumps set off her ensemble.

Williams went with a Stella McCartney creation for the star-studded event at Lincoln Center. She wore an off-the-shoulder dress that clung to her body and featured horizontal cutouts down the front of the garment. A pair of sheer gloves added to the formality of her look.

She dripped in glittering accessories including a statement diamond necklace and dangling earrings. The tennis star wore her hair in blonde waves for the occasion while showcasing a glowy makeup look.

When it came down to footwear, Williams created a unified color scheme with a pair of Christian Louboutin’s Condora Strap pumps. The silhouette stands out with a flared inward slanted heel and a classic pointed toe.

A slingback style strap with a small buckle also encircles the ankle. The shoes, bearing the brand’s famous red sole, are marked at a price of $995. A popular silhouette from the French luxury brand, the Condora Strap style is also one that’s been worn by Keke Palmer (she showcased a glossy red version) and Monica Barbaro (she went with a pink iteration ).

From Ed Sheeran’s Air Force 1s to Simone Biles’ Femme LA sandals, the Time100 Gala proved to be a fashionable night for footwear. Find more looks from the event below.
