Not a fan of Serena's get up this year. The jumper is probably OK, but that over the top covering, looks like she slayed a few too many flamingos at the zoo so she could go to the MET party. :negative: She's rocked it in the past, but this year, not so much.
My hubby said it looked like 'shag carpet from the 70s' lol!

I thought Leylah and Emma's outfits were 'age appropriate'....from what I read Emma sat on the Chanel table for the night,she is in a Chanel outfit
More I look at Osaka the more 'scary' she looks....like what is going on with 'the make up'?
Love the colour that Sloane is wearing suits her to a tee.
Agree Venus wins hands down she looked like a Godess on the Red Carpet

Definitely Serena and Naomi didn't have very good taste though they wanted to be "originals", the youngest ones looked much better and chic

^Venus wins, with Fernandez coming in second.

Naomi looks like she lost a dare, and Sharapova must have decided to go at the last minute and only had Christmas wrapping paper at hand.
Ebony Smooth is FINE. agreed coming in second Lil Bit looks fantastic.

I think what Emma did at the USO was incredible,I hope she gets the 'right people around her' to advise her going forward.
Emma is still young,expectations are High,let her progress at her own pace.
Remember another young lady who also did not drop a set on the way to her own maiden GS title at Roland Garos,Iga Swiatek,is having solid results since her win,nothing outstanding,again finding her own path on the tour.

I think that is great news for Kerber fans. So glad she seems to have a renewed interest in her career, her results have been promising the past six months. Let's see if she can make a push and qualify for the WTA finals.
