Recently, Venus Williams had an incredible time at a stunning river show before heading to the Mugler event in Paris, a designer she’s always loved. But the real star moment for her was completely different. She got a chance to see Angela Bassett on the runway. Venus was very excited because Angela was one of her idols. She expected a great show, but Angela’s surprise appearance made it unforgettable.

Sure, there were other famous models like Paris Hilton there, but Angela’s presence was something else. Venus couldn’t believe her luck witnessing such a big moment in fashion history. Seeing Angela, someone she admired so much, was a mix of surprise and pure joy. That moment made the whole show a major highlight.

“The show was on the water on the river. It was so beautiful it was the best show I’ve ever been to then we went to the Mugler show it was major. I’ve always been a big fan of Theirry Mugler oh my gosh and seeing Angela Basset on the runway uh I think Paris Hilton was on the runway lots of modeling legends but like Angela Basset wow it was such a big surprise that show was major,” said Venus Williams in the interview.

Thus, despite being such an influential player and such a big icon, Venus Williams had her own fan moment when she got to meet her idol. A great fashion geek, Venus couldn’t contain her excitement at the show.
