Powered Through Hardships to Become Tennis’ Superwoman, Serena Williams’ $3,500,000 Splurge Embodies Her Fighter-Like Spirit in Wedding With Alexis Ohanian

Serena Williams is considered a fighter, not just in tennis but in any endeavor she undertakes. Her on-court exploits are second to none, but limiting her achievements to her on-court winnings would do injustice to the superwoman she is. Getting to the top of the sport has never been easy, but for Serena, it was like a mountain to climb, considering the adversaries and hardships she faced throughout her career. Keeping in mind her superwoman arc, Serena also wished to portray herself as one at her wedding.

The 23-time major champion had to think of something outside the box, but she did manage to fulfill her wish. But how did Williams embody her fighter-like spirit on her wedding day?

Serena Williams’ extravagant wedding gown displays the spirit of a Superwoman

Serena Williams tied the knot with her husband Alexis Ohanian in November 2017. It’s been close to six years since their wedding, and the couple happens to be one of the most-renowned power couples in the world. Ohanian has always seen Serena as the fighter woman she is, especially on their wedding day.

At the wedding, Serena donned a ball gown-style dress. But she made it pretty clear that she wanted to wear a cape. So along with her gown-style dress, she put on embellished cape jewelry by XIV Karats, totaling $3.5 million in value, as she made her way down the aisle at the Contemporary Arts Centre in New Orleans.

The cape and the gown combo gave Serena Williams an iconic look. She personified every element of a superwoman with that attire. Her wish came true as the entire world recognized her as a superwoman outside the court. However, Serena’s love for capes is not news to anyone.
