Serena Williams attended the pre-Met Gala party in NYC on Sunday evening, May 3, and she was criticised for her outfit.

The tennis star wore a red sequined dress with a high slit that exposed her underwear while she was exiting the car.

She also seemed uncomfortable as she walked, tugging at the slit to cover her sensitive parts.

A view of her back showed that the slit exposed a sizeable part of her bum and back.

Reactions to her red dress have been mostly negative ones.
