Venus Williams might be out of the tennis game since her US Open injury, but she’s still serving up some serious fashion moments.
The former French Open and Wimbledon tennis star joined her sister Serena Williams for a panel discussion at the Parc des Expositions in Paris on Monday, looking seriously glamorous for her on-stage talk about their investment in app Shares.
Venus, 43, donned a smart black mini dress with a contrasting white collar and edgy mesh detailing on the bodice.
The knee-length design didn’t have sleeves, serving to enhance the sports superstar’s gorgeous physique.
Serena, meanwhile, looked lovely in an on-trend beige co-ord comprising a waistcoat and flares.
The Williams sisters were invited to take part in Viva Technology, the biggest tech show in Europe.

Venus’ tennis injury
Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus is back on form after being forced to shut down her 2023 season following her nasty knee injury during the US.
She reached the difficult decision to bow out after spending most of last summer being “pretty injured”.

Speaking on her YouTube channel last winter, she addressed the physical effects of her injury impacting her career.
“With the swelling I was having, I lost range of motion. You lose strength when your knee is swelling, also your muscles don’t activate anymore. So, your muscles are not activating, you can’t train, so you lose muscles. It’s a whole cycle,” she said.
“This is what I was going through in the summer. I couldn’t get my swelling down, I lost range of motion, the nature of my injury was you know, all this stuff. But anyway, I was dealing with all that, so, I decided not to play any more.”
Joined by her eldest daughter Olympia as they sat courtside, the mother-and-daughter duo watched Venus take on Diana Shnaider.
