Serena Williams was a champion for pink at the premiere of “Creed III” on Monday in Los Angeles, wearing a Roksanda dress from the brand’s spring 2023 collection.
To help celebrate the film’s premiere, the famed professional tennis star shined in Orien, the regal pink gown with a back cutout and cascading cloak sleeve. The gown featured dainty additions of drapes around her waist and neckline. She accessorized with heart-shaped drop earrings and open-toed silver heels, working with stylist Kimmie Sussman for her look. For hair, she went full glam, pinning her honey-blonde tresses in a sleek bun, with an elegant side bang. Her makeup channeled a similar theme, with soft pink eye shadow, bright blush and whispy lashes.
