Serena Williams battled with insecurities about her body in the past. However, she has moved past that and is now seen flaunting her curves in photos. She recently shared a snap that left her fans gushing.
Legendary athlete Serena Williams is not only famous for her incredible show of skills on the tennis court, but she has also made headlines and left fans talking about her top-notch fashion sense.
Over the past decade, Williams has evolved into a fashion icon and has served up some of her stunning looks, both on and off the court. The Nike ambassador has proven over and again that her skills are not limited to holding a racket.
Williams, the proud owner of the clothing line “Serena Williams Signature Collection,” which she launched in 2019, constantly feeds her supporters with vivid images of herself rocking elegant outfits. On Monday, the mother of one took to her Instagram page to share a photo that saw her donning an outfit from her fashion line. Williams was clad in a light green tight mini dress, which made her curves more pronounced and displayed her thick thighs.
In addition to her chic dress, Williams wore a black afro and a pair of white Nike sneakers. She sported very light makeup, which accentuated her good looks, and was accessorized with a bracelet. Captioning the post, the icon wrote:
Although Williams is admired by many for her iconic style, she has experienced her fair share of challenges, even in the world of tennis. She was once banned from donning a particular Nike catsuit and has been subjected to a series of racist comments and body shaming. The 23 Grand Slam title holder was tagged overweight by former Romanian tennis player Ion Tiriac. According to Tiriac, Williams could not move effectively like she did in the past and needed to retire.
Apart from the challenges above, Williams also struggled with body insecurities for a while. She once mentioned that she often compared her body to her sister, Venus, and wished to be more like her.
However, with advice from her late half-sister, Yetunde, Williams learned to embrace her body and be proud of who she was. Williams has owned her body and constantly puts it on display without apology.
Photos of the icon shared on the internet at some point featured her rocking a one-piece swimsuit and spending time with her family in South France. Williams is happily married to Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian.
The lovebirds have been married since 2017 and are parents to their little daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. Williams loves to spend time with her daughter and does tennis training sessions with the child. Williams also signed Olympia up for tennis lessons and often shares the tot’s experience on her Instagram story. With all the training the little girl is getting, fans are optimistic that Olympia might turn out to be a tennis icon, just like her mom.
