Serena Williams knows how to keep us on our toes—both on and off the court. Sure, she’s a GOAT in tennis, but her life beyond the baseline is just as dazzling. From launching businesses to being a supermom, Serena proves that there’s nothing she can’t conquer. And now? It’s her love for fashion taking center stage once again. Williams has never been the one to shy away from bold, statement looks. Whether it’s slaying at the Met Gala or bringing her unique flair to everyday wear, she has always served style with confidence. This time, she has dropped jaws with yet another chic appearance, and let’s just say, it’s mesmerizing.
The American legend took to her Instagram account on February 8 and shared a string of pictures and visuals from her outing. While exact details about the place or the occasion were not revealed by her, it appeared to be an eatery, from the visuals. Williams was seen in a jolly mood cherishing some good time with her family and clicking pictures. But more than anything, what captured the attention was her remarkable attire.
Williams was seen in a completely black formal outfit, with red stripes on top of it. In yet another picture she shared, the 23-time Grand Slam champion emphasized her blonde hair that perfectly complemented her looks. Further enhancing her looks were a wristwatch and some jewelry pieces, which Williams donned in style. This came just hours after she took to her social media to share a video where she could be seen with her family.
On Friday, February 7, 2025, Serena Williams shared a montage of sweet moments on Instagram. The video featured Williams and her father, ‘King’ Richard, husband Alexis Ohanian, daughters Adira and Olympia, and sister Venus Williams, as they all posed for the camera one after another. Now, with her latest pictures, she is setting a clear example of how to multitask efficiently. And when it comes to fashion, Serena Williams’ fondness is not new.
The 2023 CFDA Fashion Icon once revealed her admiration for fashion and said, “Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve used fashion as an outlet to express myself. Fashion gave me the confidence to step on the court and own who I was, and where I knew I was going.” And even after hanging up her racquets, she has continued to dazzle the fashion world. Her latest videos and pictures are just proof of the same.
And guess what? Williams’ iconic styles have not just mesmerized her fans, but have also turned out to be inspirational for many WTA Stars. One such name is Coco Gauff.
When Coco Gauff opened up on drawing fashion inspiration from Serena Williams
Coco Gauff captured immense limelight during Wimbledon last year and a major reason behind it was her attire. The 20-year-old was seen wearing a striking cutout at the mid-back with her honey-blonde braids completing her looks. That quickly drew comparisons with Serena Williams’ Wimbledon appearance in 2019. When quizzed about the same, Gauff opened up on how Williams inspired many in the tennis community.
Speaking to the press, Gauff said, “I think that Serena has just done every iconic dress’ fit in the game that unintentionally you can have something inspired by her.” Continuing further, she shared that although she did not intend to copy Williams, she did not mind the comparisons. “I feel like Serena is such an icon that everybody can have inspiration from her, like she’s the original,” Gauff continued adding, “I take it as an acknowledgment.”
Now, as time evolves, it will be interesting to see how Serena Williams further dazzles the fashion world with her iconic looks. Will it inspire more players like Coco Gauff? Well, that remains to be seen.
