Serena Williams: From Tennis Icon to Red Carpet Royalty

Serena Williams may be best known for her tennis skills, but we’re crushing on her style!

At the 2021 AFI Fest closing night premiere of King Richard, Stuart Weitzman’s global spokesperson traded her tennis wear for a glamorous all-black ensemble.

A Designer Fit for a Champion: Serena in David Koma

She strutted her stuff in a one-legged catsuit courtesy of David Koma, who, as per Vogue, would have been a tennis player if he wasn’t a fashion designer.

Known for his body-contouring silhouettes, the London-based designer comes from an athletic family—his mother is a former gymnast, his dad plays tennis, and his brother is a professional tennis player.

David Koma has dressed Russian tennis champ Maria Sharapova many times, and now another tennis ace, Serena Williams, has become the latest member of his fan club.

The form-fitting catsuit highlighted Serena’s toned build. It features a cold-shoulder silhouette, a high neck, a pair of opera gloves, and a bejeweled bodice.

While the asymmetrical outfit covered her left leg in black fabric, Serena wore a stocking and a thigh-high sock on her other leg. The stocking is adorned with jewels that match the embellishments on the Spring 2022 creation.

Serena’s daughter, Olympia, who turned four in September, mirrored her mom’s outfit—from the embellished catsuit down to the bejeweled socks. She wore a silver crystal necklace, glittery Mary Jane flats, and white beads on her curly hair.

Meanwhile, Serena’s husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, looked handsome in a navy pinstripe suit with a white button-down shirt underneath.

Venus accessorized with Tiffany & Co. jewels, carried a Judith Leiber clutch, and paired the look with Christian Louboutin “Corinetta” silver open-toe heels, care of stylist Alexandra Mandelkorn.
