15 Stunning pictures of Serena Williams…Read more….

Coco Gauff united with Serena Williams at the Oscars after playing a starring role at Hollywood’s biggest night of the year.

World No 3 and 2023 US Open champion Gauff was among the biggest names gracing the red carpet ahead of the iconic awards ceremony, which saw Anora dominate with five victories.

The 20-year-old wore a custom yellow MiuMiu gown with crystal embroidery for the ceremony and then changed into a yellow and green gown for the famous Vanity Fair After Party, where she shared a photo alongside 23-time Grand Slam champion Williams.

Speaking with Oscars ambassador and interviewer Amelia Dimoldenberg before the ceremony, the US star revealed what it was like getting ready for her evening.

“It was a lot,” joked Gauff. “Hair, make-up, the whole do – I play tennis so I’m not used to this glam, but it’s nice to get dressed for the day.”

She also opened up further about her competitive nature when asked to draw comparisons with the WTA Tour and the Oscars race.

Gauff added: “Definitely [a competitive person], but more like when it comes to on court stuff.

“Off the court, like board games and stuff, of course. UNO, like, I get a lot of fights for that, but with this [the ceremony], I’m just here for the vibes, just enjoying it, and just trying to take it all in.”

Fellow tennis star Williams was not the only famous face that Gauff was pictured with during the event in Los Angeles.

Gauff’s mum, Candi, shared a picture with herself, her daughter, and acting great Samuel L. Jackson – a former nominee and 2025 award presenter – from backstage.
