Venus Williams pulled out a show-stopping look for the 27th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday. The Olympic champion was accompanied by her sister Serena Williams on the red carpet. Both athletes join a list of presenters for the evening, including Ava DuVernay, Zoey Deutch, Issa Rae, Mandy Moore, Kristen Wig, Ray Ramano and many others.
Venus wore a silver Atelier Versace gown. The metallic number was complete with a plunging V-neckline and two thigh-high center splits. The FN cover star coordinated the eye-catching garment with dainty chandelier earrings, diamond bracelets and small sparkly clutch.

To ground everything, the tennis legend slipped into Sophia Webster’s Natalia pump in Silver Python. The open-toe python silhouette is lined with leather and includes an ankle strap and heel.

The sister duo put on quite the display as Serena also made a statement in a silver sequins gown. To add even more drama to her look, the glittery gown was met with a long satin train that curved on the side of her hip. To let her dress do all of the talking, she styled her hair in loose waves and opted for minimal accessories.
