In Pictures: Reilly Opelka makes dashing appearance alongside Venus Williams at Prada show in Milan Fashion Week

Reilly Opelka was recently seen attending the Prada Spring Summer 2025 Menswear Show at the Milan Fashion Week. Also in attendance at the show was tennis legend, Venus Williams.

Opelka has been sidelined for a better part of the last three seasons due to a hip and wrist injury. In October 2023, he played his last match at the ATP Challenger Tour 75 event in Charlottesville but gave a walkover in the second round against Tennys Sandgren.

Venus Williams, too, like Opelka has been making sporadic appearances in tennis. She was last seen competing at the Indian Wells Open and Miami Open, losing in the first rounds to Nao Hibino and Diana Shnaider, respectively.

The duo not only share a love for tennis but also for fashion. Recently, Opelka attended the Prada Spring Summer 2025 Menswear Fashion Show at the Milan Fashion Week and posted pictures from the event on his Instagram account.

The American stunned in a light blue shirt-grey pants combo and completed the look with a beige trench coat and Prada shoes. He is also spotted donning stylish glares in some pictures. In another picture, he can be seen seated with Venus Williams as they both smiled for the camera.

"Art & tennis club," he captioned the post.

Reilly Opelka on how his interest in art and fashion developed

Reilly Opelka was invited as a guest on "The Craig Shapiro Tennis Podcast" in March last year and talked about his love for art and fashion. The 26-year-old always had an inclination towards fashion. He revealed how once, after losing in earlier rounds at the Rome Open, he went to the Prada Foundation, which ignited his love for art.

“I remember I had lost in Rome one year early on. Anyway, I went to the Prada foundation in Milan and obviously I liked fashion enough to like Prada enough and just want to go into their foundation, and that’s where art started,” Opelka said.

The American added that he wanted to be happier in life and hence started to frequent the museums everywhere he went.

“I wanted to be happier. And I got so hooked on it. I started going to museums everywhere. I was arranging car service to take me an hour way to a museum in South of France, I just started going to museums all over the place," he said.
