Venus Williams, Kiss Nails star at 2026 Met Gala

“In line with the 2026 theme, 'Costume Art,' the nails were created as an extension of Venus Williams’ dress."

NEW YORK — Tennis Icon and co-chair of this year's Met Gala, Venus Williams was spotted on the star-studded red carpet last night wearing a customized Kiss Nails manicure, complementing her Swarovski crystal mesh gown inspired by Robert Pruitt’s Venus Williams, Double Portrait (2022), a portrait of her commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery.  

“In line with the 2026 theme, 'Costume Art,' the nails were created as an extension of Venus Williams’ dress. I wanted the crystals to cascade from the cuticle, gradually fading for a refined, dripping effect." said Celebrity Manicurist and Kiss Ambassador, Gina Edwards
