Former tennis rivals Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova go from Grand Slam to glam as they lead the stars at Valentino afterparty during PFW
Former tennis rivals Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova served up two very glamorous looks as they led the stars as they left the Valentino after-party on Sunday.
The two sporting legends looked in good spirits as they headed home in the evening after swapping the runway for the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week.
Serena, 42, oozed sophistication in a flowing black dress, which featured a side slit to show off her toned legs.
She carried a small black handbag and added a pop of color with a pair of pointy red high heels, while wearing a full face of flawless makeup.
Maria, 36, also opted for an elegant all-black ensemble, with a black shirt and matching trousers co-ord.

She bundled up against the cold in a custom black coat and matching handbag, adding sparkle to her look with gold Mary Jane flats.
The mother-of-one completed her stylish look with a classic red lip and was beaming and waving as she left the party.
Serena and Maria had a long-standing rivalry in the tennis world, which began two decades ago when Maria defeated Serena to win Wimbledon in 2004 at the age of 17.
However, Serena emerged victorious in the next 19 matches between the athletes, with their last match taking place at the 2019 US Open.
However, the two tennis icons have long buried the hatchet, previously posing together at the 2021 Met Gala and appearing at the Valentino show on Sunday.
Maria retired from tennis in 2020 after five Grand Slams and a total of 21 weeks at number one at ATP.
In September 2022, Serena retired from tennis, but called her break an “evolution” rather than a retirement.
She won 23 Grand Slams in singles, 14 Grand Slams in doubles and two majors in mixed doubles, as well as three Olympic gold medals in doubles and one in singles during her storied 27-year career.
