Looking ace! Serena Williams dazzles in tennis-inspired white outfit at pre-Wimbledon party

She's known for her killer shots on the tennis court and at Thursday night's pre-Wimbledon party Serena William managed to score an ace in the style stakes too. 

 

The 31-year-old athlete wore a white dress that emphasised her curves to dazzling effect as she arrived at the bash held at Kensington Roof Gardens. 

 

The bright dress boasted black edging around the neckline and down the front seam and the tennis star teamed the outfit with a pair of T-bar heels. 

 

Scoring on and off the court: Serena Williams wore a dazzling white dress to the pre-Wimbledon party at Kensington Roof Gardens on Thursday night

Serena had her hair in curls down around her shoulders. 

 

She wasn't the only tennis star to attend the bash ahead of the tournament, Maria Sharapova was also there. 

 

The Russian professional also decided on a monochrome outfit for the bash too. 

 

Seems to be a theme: Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova wore a monochrome outfit with a thin gold waist belt

Tennis whites: Andrea Hlavackova wore a white shift dress with a lace panel around the neckline

Maria wore a dress with gradation detail and she nipped in her waist with a thin gold belt. 

Czech player Andrea Hlavackova, also seemed inspired by traditional tennis ware and opted for a white shift dress with a lace panel around the neckline. 

 

But you didn't have to be a tennis player to nab yourself an invite to the event, no doubt much to the relief of The Sugababes' Keisha Buchanan. 

 

The singer arrived wearing a black vest top and matching dark trousers and painted her fingernails a grotesque shade of tennis ball yellow. 

 

While it's usual for tennis players to grunt and scream at one another during a match, even they might have been shocked at the hoo-ha that might have kicked off had Keisha crossed paths with Heidi Range, who was also at the party. 

 

The two singers have a complicated past all to do with The Sugababes, the pop band that had more line-up changes than hit records. 

Heidi wore a floor length, bright floral patterned dress which she glammed up with red nail varnish and lipstick. 

 

Her blonde hair hung loosely over one shoulder and she seemed in good spirits.

Awkward: Heidi Range was also at the party, but did she manage to avoid Keisha Buchanan (left)?

Posh totty: Isabella Calthorpe and Cresidda Bonas, better known as Prince Harry's girlfriend

Isabella Calthorpe and Cresidda Bonas arrived wearing patterned jumpsuits, with Prince Harry's girlfriend Cressida opting for a summery cornflower blue shade. 

 

Also being brave with bright colours was Zoe Hardman who seemed to have a more vivid tan than ever, which actually seemed even louder when put against the neon pink carpet outside the venue. 

 

Model and designer Jasmine Guinness wore some beaded jeans and carried a red handbag.
