Venus Williams Announces Her Engagement to Andrea Preti
THE RUNDOWN: Venus Williams has a lot to celebrate. On July 22, 2025, the tennis star defeated 23-year-old Peyton Stearns in a singles match on the Women's Tennis Association Tour, making her the oldest player to secure the victory since Martina Navratilova in 2004, who was 47 at the time. Williams, 45, also announced her engagement to Andrea Preti. The couple has kept their relationship relatively private until now. In a post-match interview, she was referred to as an 'engaged woman' and asked about how Andrea has made a difference in her life. 'Yes, my fiancé is here,' she responded amid applause from the crowd. 'He really encouraged me to keep playing. There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill... He encouraged me to get through this, and it's wonderful to be here. He's never seen me play.' When the interviewer said, 'Wow, I'd say he's a good luck charm,' Williams agreed. Ahead, get to know her fiancé, Andrea Preti. Preti, 37, was born on June 6, 1988, in Denmark and raised in Italy. While in Italy, he fell in love with fashion and became a model. Later, he moved to New York and studied acting at the Susan Batson Studio. Notable alumni of the NYC academy include Nicole Kidman, Juliette Binoche, and Laverne Cox. Since then, he's appeared in productions like One More Day (which he wrote, directed, and starred in), the Italian series Un Professore, and, most recently, 2023's Temptation. In July 2024, the couple was photographed for the first time while they were on vacation in Nerano, Italy. And in February, they sparked engagement rumors when Williams was spotted wearing an engagement ring during a training session in Rome. They've only made one major public appearance together. This year, they attended the Dsquared2 fall/winter 2025 show during Milan Fashion Week. Preti was previously in a relationship with the 26-year-old Italian tennis player, Susanna Giovanardi. Last April, they attended the Challengers premiere in Rome.

The multi-Grand Slam champion confirmed her engagement after months of rumors during a post-match interview in July 2025. "My fiancé is here, and he really encouraged me to keep playing," Williams, who was first linked to Preti in July 2024, said. "He's never seen me play." As part of one of the most famous sibling duos in sports history alongside her sister, Serena, Williams has spent much of her life in the public eye. However, she has been largely private about her romantic life. Williams previously dated model Elio Pis in 2012 and Nicholas Hammond in 2017 before finding her perfect match in Preti. So who is Venus Williams' fiancé? Here's everything to know about Andrea Preti and his relationship with the tennis star. He was born in Denmark Preti was born in 1988 in Denmark and spent most of his childhood there before moving to Italy with his family as a teenager. In May 2024, he shared photos from a trip to Copenhagen on Instagram and wrote that he was back in his "homeland." "No one can understand how much I missed you Chris," he captioned the post, which included a photo with his brother. "And how much I miss being here." Preti added, "Best time ever ❤️🙏🏻." He is an actor and producer While he spent many years as a model, Preti has since built a career for himself as both an actor and producer. After studying acting at the Susan Batson Academy in New York City, per his IMDb bio, Preti landed roles in television, film and commercials. He wrote, acted in and directed 2014's One More Day, while also appearing in the Italian television series A Professor. More recently, he starred in 2023's Temptation and was a contestant on the Italian reality show La Talpa. They were first linked in July 2024 Williams and Preti were first linked in July 2024, when they were spotted boating together in Nerano, Italy, along the Amalfi Coast. Since then, the pair have remained mostly private about their relationship, though they were seen together again in January 2025. That same month, Williams posted a selfie of her and Preti vacationing in the Bahamas on her Instagram Stories, calling her now-fiancé "the best company." She confirmed her engagement to Preti in July 2025 Williams and Preti first sparked engagement rumors in February 2025 when the tennis star was spotted wearing a diamond ring in Rome. Weeks later, she donned the sparkler at the Dsquared2 Fall/Winter 2025 fashion show at Milan Fashion Week.

You're happy, a smile on your face. I mean, how much has he made a difference in your life?" Grand Slam winner Rennae Stubbs asked Williams in a post-match interview. She replied, "There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? He encouraged me to get through this, and it's wonderful to be here."

Dsquared2 Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Despite the fact that the spring 2026 Dsquared2 collections weren't presented on the runway, exaggeration was the word Dean and Dan Caten used to describe them. Strong contrasts between prints, shapes, and bold decorations were designed to achieve 'excess'—another adjectives used by the Catens. Thus, they nodded to the glamour of fashion editorials from the 1990s and 2000s and their own passion for breaking the rules. The men's proposal juxtaposed the sexiness of see-through pop-colored shirts and a recurring cheetah print with more sartorial suits, as well as canvas workwear overshirts, trucker jackets, and camouflage parkas. Studs and intarsia embroidery are typical Dsquared2 touches, but the 'decoration game' went even harder with transparent maxi-sequins and ton-sur-ton cockade appliqués. Similar decorations were applied to the womenswear, as proven by the magenta micro-skirt and wide pants. Even the massive power shoulders of rugby-inspired tops were shared across men's and women's, highlighting the Catens' propensity for complex constructions, a concept reinforced by built-in underwear waistbands on both denim and sweatshirt fabrics. Hybrids were present in both collections: Corsetry was reinterpreted on military pieces worn over floating dresses for women; and on the men's side, blazers were combined with activewear fastenings and sporty tank tops were embellished with backpack straps for a fake layered effect. The bodysuit-shirt was strongly highlighted, and also in the mix were t-shirts with prints referencing the Dsquared2 archive from the ICONique capsule introduced during the Catens' 30th anniversary show in February.

Music you can 'see'? Rhythm and beats are now visible through fashion
Models with their faces painted like members of Kiss showcase Dsquared2 creations during Milan Fashion Week. Photo: AFP On runways and in fashion collections, designers are transforming sonic influences into silhouettes – figuratively stitching sound into every seam. Dsquared2 put on a music-themed show in February, which saw models stomping out in rockstar leathers, band tees and glam-metal accents. The highlight was a trio in bold face paint, mimicking the iconic makeup of rock band Kiss. Dsquared2 will be releasing an Autumn/Winter 2025 collection inspired by the rock band's Alive! Tour merchandise of 1975. 'Kiss has always been about pushing boundaries, both in music and style,' read the press statement from Dean and Dan Caten, twin brothers behind the Dsquared2 label. 'We wanted to create statement pieces that embody that same fearless attitude – something that makes you feel unstoppable the moment you put it on.'

Britney Spears appears on pieces from a special fashion collection. Photo: Balenciaga It will be accompanied by an exclusive playlist curated by the pop star, plus two remixes of her most iconic works by musician BFRND. 'I hope my fans love it as much as I do! These are some of my favourite images from such an amazing time in my career and life, and I'm so excited to share it with everyone,' Spears said, about the archival visuals featured. There is also the ongoing Diesel fashion line curated by music DJs from across the globe, including the likes of Venetta, Charisse C, Toccororo and Slim Soledad. Each one of them chose a garment from the collection and inscribed a personal message on its back, turning the piece into a unique canvas of individual stories, emotions and memories. Louis Vuitton menswear creative director Pharrell Williams – himself a celebrated musician – was also inspired by sound for a capsule collection. Drawing on synaesthesia (a condition where senses overlap, such as perceiving sound as colour), he translated music into vivid shades and textures. Williams is a synaesthete. He has spoken about this in past interviews. 'It's the only way that I can identify what something sounds like,' he told NPR in 2013. 'I know when something is in key because it either matches the same colour or it doesn't. Or it feels different and it doesn't feel right.'

Earlier this year, she released a jewellery range with Swarovski. It included bracelets and earrings inspired by musical notes, as well as a whimsical tiara and a showpiece heart pendant. 'Our starting point was music, which naturally evolved into the themes of violin keys and hearts, enriched with timeless pearl detailing,' commented Giovanna Engelbert, Swarovski global creative director. H&M's current collection brought together musicians Tyla, FKA Twigs, Caroline Polachek and more for a campaign. It is described as rich in classic rock-n-roll staples, from voluminous sheer blouses through to lace-up shirting and tunics. 'A sense of escape felt very relevant: we wanted to play with a beautiful bohemia, rock icons and festival freedom,' said Eliana Masgalos, H&M's design director. Two months ago, the fast fashion brand even threw a one-off music festival in Los Angeles, which blended live performances with fashion moments to celebrate the collection's launch.
