Plus, an exclusive closer look at the star’s custom Thom Browne look.
On Monday evening, tennis pro and fashion star Serena Williams was honored with the prestigious CFDA Fashion Icon Award—a prize that has also honored Zendaya, Naomi Campbell, and Rihanna in the past. Accepting her trophy in a custom Thom Browne look, Williams certainly looked the part. “I feel so honored and grateful,” Williams told Vogue of receiving the accolade. “I had an amazing evening celebrating all of the honorees and winners, and to be celebrated among them feels really special.
” Williams’s custom Thom Browne outfit for the night was certainly all of those things. The design included a corseted dress covered in hand-embroidered black sequins, as well as a black satin stole with organza and pearl embellishments. “I loved the fabric so much—if you know me, you know I love black and I love sparkle,” says Williams. “The beaded sleeves were playful yet flattering.
