The 37-year-old tennis professional co-chaired the event with Harry Styles, Lady Gaga, Gucci designer Alessandro Michele and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

She stunned on the red carpet in a striking neon yellow Versace gown that featured pink and yellow butterfly embellishments and dramatic sleeves. 

Bringing an element of sportiness to the high-fashion event, she teamed the floor-length dress with a pair of neon yellow Nike sneakers. 

Meanwhile, the Reddit co-founder sported a crisp white shirt and dress jacket with a black trim.

He teamed the look with black trousers, shoes and a bow-tie, keeping his look simple and allowing Serena to steal the show.
