Serena Williams: The Style Icon Who Redefined Tennis Fashion

Serena Williams: A Style Icon Beyond the Court Serena Williams' name is synonymous with tennis greatness. But beyond her impressive Grand Slam titles, Williams has carved a distinct path as a fashion icon. This is evident throughout her career, from her early days on the court to her recent high-profile appearances. Early in her career, Williams and her sister Venus made a statement by celebrating their Blackness in a sport traditionally dominated by white athletes. They often sported beaded braids, a bold choice that challenged conventional norms. Her style evolution continued. At Wimbledon, Williams pushed boundaries with her clothing choices, defying expectations of what was considered 'proper' for tennis. This culminated in her iconic 2018 catsuit at the French Open, which was subsequently banned, highlighting the ongoing conversation around athlete expression and fashion. Off the court, Williams' style is equally captivating. She's graced runways for Off-White in Paris, and her Met Gala appearances are legendary, particularly her 2019 ensemble with Volt Off-White Nike Air Force 1s. She's also known for matching looks with her daughter, Olympia, further cementing her status as a style leader. 'She's definitely one of them ones,' says the narrator of the video, capturing the essence of Williams' unique and enduring style.
