- The Oscars are on Sunday, March 2.
- Film’s biggest night has also attracted another group of A-listers — athletes — and they stun on the red carpet.
- In 2022, Venus Williams walked the red carpet in a white Elie Saab gown with silver details.
While many movie lovers expect actors and directors like Zendaya and Martin Scorsese at the Oscars, another category of A-listers are also invited to Hollywood’s biggest night: athletes.
From serving as executive producers on Oscar-nominated films (hello, Venus and Serena Williams) to actually bringing home the famed gold-plated statue, athletes have successfully crossed over into the world of entertainment many times, and they’ve looked good while doing it, too.
In 2018, Olympic bronze medal-winning figure skater Mirai Nagasu walked the carpet in a cornflower-blue embroidered gown by Tadashi Shoji, and in 2022, Venus Williams had one of the night’s most daring looks with a low-cut white gown with silver detailing by Elie Saab.
While we wait to see who will grace the carpets this year, here’s a look back at some of the athletes’ best fashion moments at the Oscars and the Vanity Fair after-party.
