Serena Williams took some time to pose with her family on the red carpet before hosting the 2024 ESPY Awards.
The 42-year-old tennis legend, who recently spoke out about trying to cash a million-dollar check at an ATM, stepped onto the red carpet with husband Alexis Ohanian and their six-year-old daughter, Olympia, on Thursday.
Williams did not bring her youngest daughter, Adira River Ohanian, who was born in August 2023, to the festivities.
The athlete appeared in a stunning black dress with silver straps, which reached down to the carpet and trailed slightly behind her.
The little train also featured matching silver detailing as she accessorized with drop earrings, a gold watch, and several rings.

The long train hid Williams’ footwear overnight as she posed before beginning her duties as an HR presenter.
Her husband Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, opted for a classic black Gucci suit with a white shirt and black tie.
Her daughter Olympia opted for a silver dress and matching silver flats for the red carpet look.
Williams is considered by many to be the greatest tennis player of all time, having won 23 Grand Slam tournaments and earned $95 million in prizes.
The legend recently spoke about a unique moment early in his career, during an appearance on Hot Ones.
“I got my check and it was a million dollars, and I thought, ‘Okay, I’m going to deposit it,'” he revealed.
“I never spent a lot of money, I was very serious. I don’t know what happened to me, I used to be very serious,” she said.
‘I went to the drive-thru and the guy was like, “Uh… I think you have to come in for this.” And I was like, “Oh, okay!”

So much so that he often forgot about the various awards he won on the court.
“I never played for money, I played because I loved the sport,” the tennis legend added. “I don’t even know if I wanted to play to be the best, I wanted to win.”
“So my tax collector would say to me, ‘Haven’t you received your money? ‘ And I’d say, ‘Oh, I didn’t receive that one from Zurich. Oh, I forgot about that one from Moscow. ‘”
