"Superhero-inspired." That's how Serena Williams described her 2021 Met Gala outfit, which consisted of a Gucci silver bodysuit with embellished stars and, on top, a feather-laden cape with a long ombré train. It's fitting that the GOAT channeled a superhero for fashion's biggest night out, since Williams might as well be the closest thing to a modern-day superhero we have.

Williams was accompanied by her husband Alexis Ohanian, who wore a simple suit and silver bow tie, allowing his wife to steal the show. The couple share a four-year-old daughter, the painfully adorable Alexis Olympia Ohanian, Jr.

Here's the couple on the red carpet:
