At this year's Met Gala, Venus Williams stunned in a custom Tom Ford gown that had round mirrors embellished all over it. She completed her look with minimal earrings. Serena Williams opted for a gold Balenciaga outfit, juxtaposed with black gloves and black heels.

The sisters went to Richie Akiva's "The After" after-party at Casa Cipriani. Venus wore a black Marc Jacobs creation while Serena made a stunning appearance in cream-colored attire.

The American also wrote about the complexities she experienced when she first started playing on the tour.

"I was the big sister. I had to be first. I’m proud of that. For me, being the big sister meant that, when I made my professional debut, I was the only player on tour who looked like me. I was the only player with my skin color, with my hair, with my background, with my style," Venus Williams wrote in The Players' Tribune.

The former World No. 1 also wrote that after Serena made her debut, she donned multiple hats to help her younger sibling feel at ease.

"Being the big sister meant that, when my little sister made her professional debut, I became a lot of new things to her — her colleague, her competitor, her business partner, her doubles partner. But I was still, first and foremost, the one thing I had always been: her family. I was her protector — her first line of defense against outside forces. And I cherished that."

Venus Williams then reiterated that her younger sister could always count on her.

"And I knew how much I would have loved to have had a big sister on tour during my first year, and how much pride I took in the knowledge that my little sister had me. Serena always has me," she added.

The Williams sisters have 30 Grand Slam singles titles among them, with Serena contributing 23 and Venus 7.
