Venus Williams is known for supporting her fellow tennis stars, both real and fictional.

The 43-year-old tennis champion looked stunning at the Los Angeles premiere of Challengers on Tuesday, April 16. She wore a stylish gray asymmetrical mini dress that highlighted her figure with ruched detailing, a cinched waist, and a sculpted boatneck top.

Venus had her hair straightened and flowing down in a relaxed slicked back look. She had on bold black winged eyeliner, sparkly eyeshadow, and glowing foundation.

Challengers, set to hit theaters on April 26, tells the story of three tennis players - Tashi (Zendaya), Art (Mike Faist), and Patrick (Josh O'Connor) - who find themselves caught in a complicated love triangle.

Eugenie Bouchard, a Canadian tennis player, also graced the premiere with her presence. She looked stunning in a black floor-length sequin gown, paired with open-toed heels and a white purse. In 2014, at Wimbledon, Bouchard, aged 30, achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first Canadian player to reach a Grand Slam singles final.

Interestingly, Serena, Venus' sister and a 23-time grand slam champion, was not present at the premiere. While some fans may have been disappointed by her absence, the red carpet fashion at the event more than made up for it.

Take Zendaya, who is 27 years old, as an example. She looked absolutely stunning in a custom Vera Wang gown. The gown had a black lace bodice and a billowing skirt in pink and black layers. Zendaya styled her hair in a chic bun and highlighted her eyes with shimmery pink eyeshadow, long lashes, and thin black eyeliner. To complete the look, she added dewy pink blush and glossy lips.

Throughout the Challengers press tour, Zendaya has been embracing tenniscore fashion with the help of her stylist, Law Roach, whom she has worked with for 13 years. At the afterparty of the premiere, Zendaya wore a sleek yellow dress that perfectly matched the color of a tennis ball. The form-fitting gown had a plunging neckline and a unique tennis ball detail at the waist.
