Venus Williams puts on a leggy show in a sparkling black mini dress as she leaves Hotel Costes during Paris Fashion Week
Venus Williams looked incredible as she left Hotel Costes after a fun night out during Paris Fashion Week on Friday.
The tennis pro, 43, showed off her leggy style in a sparkling black mini dress, which she paired with a white and gold beaded necklace.
She added some height to her body with a pair of black heels and made sure to turn heads with her stunning ensemble.
Venus also appeared earlier in the evening at Usher’s Rendez-vous, a Paris Dinner & Cocktail Party at Hôtel Plaza Athénée.
Paris Fashion Week started on Monday and runs until October 3. 107 brands will present themselves, of which 67 will give catwalk shows.

One of the first big names was Pierre Cardin, who returns to the official Paris line-up this year for the first time in a quarter of a century.
The show was full of retro space-age outfits that harked back to the glory days, but the family members of Cardin, who died in 2020, are currently tearing each other apart in court over the legacy.
“My uncle gave me the mission to continue the house and its style,” Rodrigo Basilicati-Cardin, who currently oversees the label, said backstage.
‘If the brand is sold, that’s the end of the house. “I am confident that the court decisions will ensure continuity,” he added.
One of the other highlights so far was Dior’s latest collection on Tuesday, with the walls of the show plastered with faux sexist slogans from old advertisements, such as ‘Save your marriage – get the ironing done’.
The collection from Maria Grazia Chiuri, who recently dressed Queen Camilla for her state dinner at Versailles, was a largely monochrome affair with comfortable, breezy pieces alongside straight masculine jackets, pleated skirts and lots of knitwear.

Two final shows for two major designers were also part of Paris Fashion Week.
Gabriela Hearst leaves Chloe after less than three years. Her focus on sustainable fashion was widely praised, but did not provide a major boost to sales.
It will also be the last show for Sarah Burton, who took over at Alexander McQueen after the founder’s suicide in 2010.
