VOGUE World: New York was a star-studded affair on Monday night.

In honor of Vogue's 130-year anniversary, the outlet put on a fashion show and street fair during New York Fashion Week, with live performances and memorable runway walks from some of the biggest models in the industry -- and some famous faces as well.

Those that hit the runway wore looks from luxe designers' Fall/Winter 2022 collections.

Serena Williams opened the runway show in a custom metallic cape dress from Balenciaga.

As the tennis legend walked the runway, a recording of a previous interview she gave from Wimbledon 2000 was played in the background, according to Vogue.

Stars including Williams, Jared Leto, Lil Nas X and Russell Westbrook were able to sit front row at the show alongside famed Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour.
