World number one tennis star Serena Williams mingled with Hollywood's elite at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday.

The 33-year-old attended the celebrations following the 87th Academy Awards, where actors Eddie Redmayne and Julianne Moore were among the stars to be honoured.

Williams happily posed for photos in a red gown from designer Ines Di Santo and even managed to grab a few moments with an Oscar statue, which she borrowed from rapper Common, who won for Best Original Song.

The sportswoman also spent time with actress Brooklyn Decker, who is the wife of retired tennis player Andy Roddick.
