Venus Williams' fiancé Andrea Preti gushes over American's glamorous black velvet midi dress look at CFDA Fashion Awards

Venus Williams attended the CFDA Fashion Awards on November 3 in New York City, donning a stylish yet elegant black outfit. Pictures from this event garnered the attention of Williams' fiance, Andrea Preti, who dropped a one-word loving reaction.

Williams opened her 2025 season in July at the Citi DC Open. She made a comeback to the sport after a 16-month-long hiatus following her Miami Open campaign in March 2024. She then went on to compete at the Cincinnati Masters and wrapped up her season after competing at the US Open.

The 45-year-old is currently in her off-season and most recently attended the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York. The American shared a few pictures from the event on Instagram.

Williams wore a crystal-studded dress and paired it with a black slingback pump. The carousel also featured the time she spent with her friends at the event. The post's caption read:

"A beautiful night celebrating fashion with @cfda and @amazonfashion 🖤🤍 #amazonpartner"

The pictures captured Williams' fiance, Preti's attention, who gushed over the American's glamorous look. Expressing his feeling with a one-word reaction, he wrote:

"Baby⚡⚡"

This isn't the first time Preti has publicly gushed over Williams. Earlier this year in June, the 45-year-old shared a bunch of summer looks on social media. Stunned with her outfits, he left a sweet comment that read:

"Mon Coeur 🩵" (My heart)

Venus Williams and Andrea Preti have been dating each other since July last year. The couple was first spotted by the public eye during their vacation on the Amalfi Coast. Ever since then, the couple has mostly been seen together. From going out on trips to exchanging sweet comments on social media, the duo was seen gushing over each other.

They also went on a trip to the Bahamas, where Williams shared an adorable picture with Preti and called him the best company. After dropping these subtle hints, the couple made it official at the DSquared2 fashion show.
