It is no hiding the fact that Serena Williams was a fashion icon on the court during her playing days. The American tennis legend could be spotted sporting unique outfits every time she made her way to her matches. Not only did she put on a style statement on the court but also off the court. Williams often attended award shows and other events worldwide in glamorous outfits. Taking it a step ahead, recently, she showed off why she is known as a fashion queen.

Following her retirement from professional tennis, the 23-time Grand Slam champion has focused on herself and her family. Earlier today, she revealed glimpses of her latest photoshoot with Byrdie, a beauty and fashion brand. One could hardly take its eyes off Williams’ stunning looks from the photoshoot.

Serena Williams proves to be the true fashion queen

An hour ago, the former World Number 1 took to her official Instagram handle to share some pictures from her photoshoot with Byrdie. In the first image, Williams can be seen sporting a creamish-white gown and a matching jacket on it. The American legend posed comfortably as she made a strong style statement.

In the second picture, Williams wore a pink gown and black sleeves that made for a perfect contrasting look. She captioned the post, “Is your interest sufficiently piqued? I hope you love it. – Editor in Chief + GM of @byrdie, @gouldhallie”. While the photoshoot was done by Kendall Bessent, Kimberly Sussman took care of the styling.

This is not the first time we are witnessing Williams stunning one and all with her looks in a photoshoot. She has often posed for various magazines like Vogue and Sports Illustrated, apart from the one with Byrdie. In addition to her photoshoot, she also appeared in an interview with the magazine where she revealed the importance of adopting the importance of various beauty measures.

How Williams set an example of enhancing features

Tennis is a unique sport where high stamina is needed for longer durations. For example, the women’s singles matches at Grand Slams often touch the three hour mark. Williams highlighted this fact while revealing the reason behind enhancing her features on the court.

Williams narrated, “Showing up [like that] was great for me. Tennis is different than other sports. Sprinters and gymnasts, for example, can wear a full face of makeup. With tennis, you can play for three hours and have sweat pouring down your face. So I had to find little ways to enhance my features. It started with the beads—that was a way to express myself. From there, I leaned into eyeliner and lipstick.”

With the latest photoshoot, Serena Williams adds another one to her growing portfolio. She never fails to remain away from the spotlight, does she?
