In 2019, Serena Williams paired her yellow Atelier Versace dress with a pair of Nike x Off-White Air Force One sneakers in a matching highlighter hue at the Met Gala, pre-pandemic, of course. Her sneakers were an unexpected accessory at an iconic event, where the dress code unofficially demanded heels—the sharper, the better. This was an act of rebellion, buoyed by a strong sense of Williams's own personal aesthetic. While it might have met with its fair share of eye rolls and disapproving head shakes, there was an equal and opposite juggernaut of applause.
