Just because you get invited to the party of the year doesn't mean you can't be comfortable. Tennis legend Serena Williams wore a beautiful Valentino gown and Bulgari necklace to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's post-wedding reception, but she added a little something extra you couldn't see under the billowing dress: Valentino sneakers.
"Little known fact: I often wear sneakers under my evening gown," Williams captioned her Instagram video. "These @maisonvalentino @pppiccioli gave to me last min. I told him be careful I tend to be comfy for long nights." Williams also wore Nike sneakers on her very own wedding day—we knew we liked her for a reason. Scroll down to watch her cute video and revisit her epic reception look.
