In case you missed it, Serena Williams married Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian late last week in New Orleans in a lavish Beauty and the Beast themed ceremony and with Anna Wintour, Beyoncé, and Kim Kardashian West among the attendees. Fittingly, Williams walked down the aisle in a dramatic ball gown, but it was her reception look that everyone was buzzing about this weekend, after Vogue revealed images from the wedding and they started popping up on Instagram.
Williams, who has a contract with Nike, changed into a short, feather-adorned Versace dress and a pair of heavily rhinestone-embellished Nike Cortez sneakers. Nike's Cortez sneakers have been a big celebrity favorite for the past year or so, and Williams's choice of style for her wedding sneakers only solidifies that the It sneakers are here to stay for awhile.
Keep scrolling to see the sneakers everyone was talking about this weekend (via her photographer's Instagram account), and shop fancy Nike Cortez sneakers for yourself, in case Williams inspired you.
