Serena Williams, arguably the GOAT of modern-day tennis, is known for her incredible talent and her bold fashion choices on the court. Throughout her almost three-decade-long career, Serena has donned many iconic outfits that have caught the eyes of many. One of her most talked-about outfits was her black catsuit, which she wore during the 2018 French Open. Alexis Ohanian recently tweeted a special gift he received from his cousin that was related to this unique outfit.

The gift had a portrait of his wife in the catsuit. The catsuit had caused major controversy among tennis officials who claimed it violated the dress code. Despite the criticism, Williams refused to back down and even received support from her husband, Alexis Ohanian.

While the controversy surrounding Williams’ catsuit may have died down over time, her husband’s recent tweet has once again brought it to the forefront of people’s minds. Despite the criticism, Williams has always remained unapologetic about her fashion choices. The catsuit may have caused controversy in the tennis world, but it has also become a symbol of her fearlessness and determination to be true to herself.

The multi-millionaire investor has been a constant source of encouragement for Williams throughout her tennis career. And it looks like he will continue to do the same in her retirement phase as well.

Ohanian recently tweeted, “My cousin just sent me this — so dope!” 

Williams surprised her fans by appearing on the court wearing a full-length black bodysuit with a red waistband, which many people compared to a superhero outfit. However, the French Tennis Federation decided to ban such outfits in the future, which caused an uproar among Williams’ supporters.
