Venus Williams is most often seen wearing either high heels or sneakers. For instance, at the Citi Taste of Tennis 2023, she wore black and white Adidas sneakers that featured a classic gum outsole. The following month, Williams mixed her casual and elegant sides when she wore a pair of white Lacoste pumps that featured pointed toes, thin heels and hints of dark green elements, highlighting the brand’s crocodile mascot. She also participates in bold trends. For the Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2024 Paris Show in October 2023, Williams wore Louis Vuitton’s “Illusion” ankle boots, giving an illusion of ribbed white socks worn with black heels.

It’s no secret metallic shoes have been having a moment since last year. However, metallic sandals are specifically super trendy right now. It’s an ideal way to optimize the metallic trend for the summertime. Plenty of brands have taken the shoe trend into their own hands, creating their interpretation of the metallic sandal. Some affordable metallic sandals that resemble Williams’ are the Bernardo Jasper Sandal, which retails at $237.99 on the DSW site, and the Aerosoles Camera Platform Sandal, retailing at $135.99 at Nordstrom.
