Sibling rivalry is sure to have raised its head at some point last night when Venus and Serena Williams attended a party in New York.
The tennis playing sisters were in the Big Apple for a party to celebrate their appearance on the cover of Hamptons magazine.
But Serena, the younger of the duo, appeared to have decided that her outfit would be the polar opposite of the subtlety evoked by the upmarket publication – overshadowing her sister’s understated wardrobe choice.
Serena, 39, wore an ultra-tight, low-cut sheer outfit that clung to her every curve accentuating her infamous rear.
As well as the outrageous black catsuit she wore, Serena also made sure her hair was just as attention-grabbing. Her locks were styled in a similar manner to Rihanna’s earlier this year, big and curly.
Meanwhile, older sister Venus remained demure in a sensible multi-coloured dress and gold shoes. She looked great, but was overshadowed by her younger sister’s daring and slightly inconsiderate mode of dress.
Perhaps the sisters should have a pre-night out chat about the outfits they were going to wear in order to avoid such a situation.
Meanwhile, as well as their glossy cover, the sisters took part in an interview with the magazine in which they interviewed each other discussing their careers among other things.
Asked by Venus about her memories of the U.S. Open, Serena says: ‘I remember Pete Sampras playing in 1990; I was watching on television, and I remember that was the first year he won a Grand Slam.
‘He was really young, and they were talking about how good he was going to be. He was wearing such short shorts; they were almost like a bikini. [Laughs]’
Venus then asks if she thought Pete was cute. To which Serena says: ‘I definitely thought Pete was very handsome, but around 1996 I thought he was really hot—but I also think everybody is hot, so I don’t know if that is saying much.’
Venus also reveals her fashion plans for the Open, something which is obviously important to both ladies.
She says: ‘The US Open this year is all about the little black dress, and I always put zippers in my dresses, so there will be a zipper down the back.
‘Because I don’t ever wear black in the daytime, it will be opposing colors. Last year there were three different styles; this year it will be simple because it is just one, but in different colors.’
