**Serena Williams Stuns at 2024 ESPY Awards with Eight Glamorous Outfits and Bold Hairstyles**

Serena Williams, the tennis legend, showcased her versatility and style beyond the court at the 2024 ESPY Awards held on July 11th. At 42, Williams didn’t just host the event; she made a fashion statement with eight stunning outfit changes and equally impressive hairstyles, leaving the audience in awe.

Williams kicked off the night at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre with an Old Hollywood-inspired look. Arriving in a custom Giorgio Armani Privé black gown adorned with gold Swarovski crystals, she exuded classic glamour. Her bombshell blonde bob, crafted by hairstylist Angela Meadows, perfectly complemented the elegant gown. “I wanted to give her an old Hollywood glam inspired look to set the stage for this momentous night,” Meadows shared with PEOPLE.

Throughout the night, Williams’ stylist, Kesha McLeod, ensured her looks remained diverse and striking. One standout outfit was a custom pink minidress by Galia Lahav, embracing the Barbiecore trend with an asymmetrical hemline and feather detail. Meadows paired this playful look with a voluminous blonde curly hairstyle, achieving the perfect beachy blonde color with a meticulous process using Wella Professionals products.

Williams also wowed in a red leather minidress with dramatic puffed sleeves, styled with a sleek, straight hairstyle and metallic silver pumps. Another highlight was a custom black David Koma blazer dress featuring a silver feather embroidery, paired with a crimped, wet-look hairstyle created using Wella Professionals EIMI products.

Her sheer corset dress exuded sultry glamour, matched by a sexy blonde blowout. Meadows used a 1 1/2 inch curler and Wella Professionals EIMI Stay Firm Workable Finishing Hairspray to achieve bouncy curls that lasted through the night.

For a high-fashion switch-up, Williams donned a leopard print top with a dramatic train, paired with black cropped trousers and pumps. She also dazzled in a textured red halter dress by Ferragamo, styled with a glamorous updo. “I wanted to create a ’90s-inspired hairstyle, gathering her hair into a tastefully messy bun,” Meadows explained.

Williams ended the night with a nod to her tennis roots at the ESPYs after party, sporting a tenniscore look with white sneakers, a tennis ball-green minidress, and a multi-gem tennis necklace. Her hair was styled into a playful half-up look with soft waves, showcasing her fun and vibrant personality.

Angela Meadows played a crucial role in maintaining Williams’ hair throughout the multiple quick changes. Using Wella Professionals Ultimate Repair Miracle Hair Rescue, Meadows ensured Serena’s hair remained shiny and frizz-free, enhancing each look with precision and flair.

Serena Williams’ presence at the 2024 ESPY Awards was a testament to her ability to shine both on and off the court. Her eight outfit changes and bold hairstyles not only highlighted her fashion-forward sensibilities but also her enduring status as an icon in both sports and style.
