The Met Gala is an evening of style, glamour and… baby news.
In a pair of stylish debuts, tennis world champ Serena Williams and supermodel and entrepreneur Karlie Kloss both stepped on to the red carpet on Monday sporting very special accessories: babies on the way.
“There’s three of us here,” Wiliams told La La Anthony during Vogue’s live red carpet show. The 23-time Grand Slam-winner went on to say “I’m good, I feel good now” and shared her relief that her secret was out. “I can stop hiding now,” she added.
Williams wed husband Alexis Ohanian in New Orleans in 2017 and they share one daughter together, 5-year-old Olympia Ohanian.
Adding to the family was always the plan for Williams, who shared in a 2022 essay for Vogue that she planned to grow her family as she “evolved away from tennis.”
It seems as though that time has come nearly a year after her last tennis match.
Kloss, who shares one child with husband Joshua Kushner, had earlier told Emma Chamberlain of her bump reveal that, “I’m so happy. This is the first time I am sharing my news. So, it’s very special.”
Chamberlain, who was also serving as one of the cohosts for Vogue’s red carpet livestream joked that Kloss was the “only one who got to sneak in a baby” to the notoriously exclusive event. “I know, I got a plus one. Don’t tell anybody!” Kloss responded.
The model donned a fitted black gown by Loewe adorned with draped strands of pearls.
Kushner, who is former White House aide Jared Kushner’s brother, and Kloss wed in 2018 and welcomed their son in March of 2021.
