Serena Williams was voted a 'fashion icon' last year
Serena Williams was not just one of the greatest tennis players of all time, but she was also a style icon on the court.
Some of her all-time best outfits on the court include her tutu-style skirt and pink and white outfit at the WTA Tour Championships Tournament in 2004, her pink leopard-print dress during the US Open in 2014, and her controversial Nike catsuit at the French Open in 2018, among others.
She was felicitated for her love of fashion by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in November 2023, when they named her the "fashion icon." She was the first athlete ever to win the award.
She spoke about her affinity for fashion and how she transformed it on the tennis court during her acceptance speech.
"I explored fashion and style as a way to distinguish myself," Williams was quoted as saying at the event. "In many ways for me, the tennis courts became my runway."
"I designed skirts out of denim and I wore purple tutus and bodysuits and put beads in my hair, and braids. It was really just a fun time for me," Williams concluded.
Williams has studied fashion in the past during her playing career, and successfully launched her clothing line 'S' in 2018.
