Venus Williams suffers wardrobe malfunction at Oscars (Photos)
Venus Williams had a nip slip in the midst of Sunday’s chaotic 2022 Oscars show.
The tennis star, who wore a custom white, plunging Elie Saab gown, suffered the wardrobe malfunction while sitting in her seat alongside her sister Serena Williams. ABC cameras caught the fashion mishap, and fans on Twitter shared screen grabs that showed Williams holding her right arm over her chest.
“Oh my god and a Venus Williams nip slip. This Oscars has become an episode of ‘The Jersey Shore,’” one person tweeted.
While a such a fashion faux pas would dominate headlines on Oscars night, it was Venus’ friend, Will Smith, who stole the show.

During the live broadcast, Smith approached Chris Rock on stage and slapped the comedian after he cracked a “G.I. Jane” joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith — who is bald and has alopecia, an auto immune condition that causes hair loss.
When Smith returned to his seat after the slap heard around the Dolby Theatre in L.A., he yelled to Rock to “keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.”
