Is Serena Williams' and Kim Kardashian's bond the most iconic friendship in sports and entertainment?

What is the definition of ‘fashion’ for the tennis legend, Serena Williams? The queen of the court, views fashion as her personal runway. She uses clothing to paint a picture of herself to the world. Her close friend, Kim Kardashian, is equally passionate about fashion, and together they’ve redefined glamor. Williams recently received a stylish gift from Kardashian’s brand, a trio of fashionable pieces that presented her with a delightful dilemma.

On Sunday, Williams recently uploaded an IG story, tagging Kim Kardashian and her brand. She was heard saying, “What a way to wake up and have this. So cool, can’t decide which one I like the most.” In that video, she then showed her fans the three inner wears from Kardashian’s clothing brand, Skims. There was one that featured the leopard print, while the other one was of black color and the third one was white.

For those who are unaware, Skims was co-founded in 2019 by Kim Kardashian and Swedish entrepreneur Jens Grede. Skims has a focus on body positivity and inclusivity across the brand and practices inclusive sizing. Moreover, this iconic fashion brand’s current value is at around $4 Billion. In 2022, Williams received a similar gift from her beloved friend.

It was in a big blue box then, and Williams later shared a glimpse of that on her social media. While opening the box, Williams also expressed her eagerness to go out for a swim. She said, “Just going through my mail, but I’m excited for the swim…Get me in a pool.” The box also featured a blue-colored towel. A color that also happens to be the theme color of the brand.

Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian met each other almost more than 20 years ago. That was the time when Kardashian had a job organizing celebrities’ closets, including those in Williams’ home. That’s how it started and their bonding has gotten stronger day by day. Then, in 2017 Williams invited Kim Kardashian during her marriage. Speaking about the tennis star’s relationship with Alexis Ohanian, she said,

I’ve known Serena for so long and am so happy she’s found her prince. From the moment she told me she met Alexis in Rome, it was like…she’s been so happy and has this light about her that is so special to see. You just know it is so real. He makes her so happy and that just makes her friends happy.” In an interview with Vogue in the same year, Kardashian gushed over Serena Williams’ “silly” side and how trustworthy she is.

In 2022, when Serena Williams announced her retirement from the racquet sport, Kim Kardashian was among the first ones to react to her social media post. She commented with GOAT and flowers emojis. Then, a year later, Kardashian received an adventurous book from Serena Williams. She later on took to IG with a beautiful story and praised the piece of work from her friend. Kardashian even posted a picture of the book ‘The Adventure of Qai Qai’, authored by Williams.

In the same year, fans spotted these two close friends giving poses alongside each other at the 2023 CFDA Awards. However, the most iconic moment of 2023 featuring these two superstars was Serena Williams’ reaction after seeing Kim Kardashian pose for a photo shoot at a tennis court. After seeing Kardashian holding a racquet at the tennis court in the video interview with GQ, Serena Williams commented,

Literally not how you hold a racquet. Clearly, I have to give you lessons lol 😍😍” Then Kim Kardashian replied, “First of all, I was walking to the other side. Is there a special way you have to hold the racquet just to walk from one side to the other side? I was also out of bounds at that point.” She even called upon her friend to supply her with some tennis lessons. “But I’m waiting, I would love lessons from the G.O.A.T,” she added.
