Serena Williams believed fashion was integral to her confidence during her storied tennis career, describing her on-court style as “wild” and “fun.” This distinctive style led to her recognition as a fashion icon by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2023. As Williams stated, “I explored fashion and style as a way to distinguish myself.” Recently, a photoshoot featuring her in a striking floral dress with a special person has garnered attention. What are fans reacting to, and who is this special individual?
The floral motif symbolizes courage and strength – an apt choice for one of the greatest athletes ever. Serena Williams is often seen donning floral printed outfits. For example, in 2021, she was spotted wearing Richard Quinn’s daisy print catsuit, which first debuted as part of her fall 2019 collaboration with Moncler. “This is how we do winters in Florida,” she wrote in a social media post, having glimpses of her stunning look.
Even in February 2024, Serena Williams arrived at Balmain’s Fall/Winter 2024 womenswear show, wearing a classic rose with a floral motif. The sleeveless style featured a white-trimmed neckline and the aforementioned flower in a large central pattern, with an easy-going finish from a black overcoat draped over her shoulders. Fast forward to 2025 and Williams is still floral.
Just yesterday, April 9th, Serena Williams shared a glimpse of her elegant style, sporting a beautiful white and pink dress accented with green stripes and floral details on the bodice. Her blonde hairstyle further enhanced the look, which she simply captioned, “Just sitting in some pretty flowers .” That wasn’t all!
Later on, Williams also shared a reel in which she was spotted posing alongside her half-sister, Lyndrea Imani. “Have you met my sister? She’s the one in Red…. Me- I stick to pink 🩷 @lyndrea_imani,” she wrote.
Venus and Serena Williams were raised in California with their father, Richard Williams, their mother, Oracene Price, and half-sisters Yetunde, Lyndrea, and Isha. Richard and Oracene tied the knot in 1980, and he became stepfather to Oracene’s three children from her previous marriage to Yusef Rasheed. Later that year, the couple welcomed Venus, and a year later, Serena was born.
Talking about Lyndrea, she is a designer and fashion merchandiser. Before stepping out into costume design, she worked as a web designer. Additionally, she is also recognized for her frequent contributions to Venus Williams’ clothing line, EleVen.
Last year, she was also spotted in a single frame with her mother, Oracene Price, alongside Venus and Serena Williams at Milan’s Men’s Fashion Week. Serena had then even shared a glimpse of their reunion with the caption, “It’s a family thing.”
So, fashion seems to be in their blood. What do the fans say after seeing the designer of ‘S by Serena’ in her stunning floral outfit?
Fans couldn’t stop gushing over Serena Williams’ stunning look in a floral outfit
One of them wrote, “Wonderful as always, every single shot contains an incomparable fragment of your beauty, the look, the smile, you are unique. Queen of the World.“
Serena Williams has worked her way to fashion stardom, but her journey to reach this stage was never easy. Previously in an interview with PEOPLE, she revealed, “I’ve been on worst-dressed lists and I don’t care. Listen, I think being on worst-dressed lists is important. I’ve loved every style that I’ve made, and you know, you don’t love them looking back all the time, but I appreciate them.” Good or bad, Williams says she doesn’t have any fashion regrets.
Like always, her stunning blonde look caught the eyes of the fans. One of them wrote, “Love that hair color on you.“
Serena Williams is no stranger to switching up her look. She has an array of high-fashion looks, with hair changes for each planned for the night. Last year at the 2024 ESPYs, she stunned everyone with her gorgeous blonde look. Speaking on that look, her longtime hairstylist Angela Meadows said, “I wanted to give her an old Hollywood glam-inspired look to set the stage for this momentous night.” She also added, “She (Williams) wanted to be blonder. She really wanted to have these cool looks.”
Another fan aptly correlated tennis and Serena, commenting, “GOAT, you’re totally in grand slam shape! Let’s goooooo.”
Williams retired from the sport in September 2022. However, even after almost three years since her retirement, the mother of two states that she has “gotten obsessed, more with diet and exercise.” She also claimed in an interview that, “I’m trying to compete-not compete, rephrase-trying to do a half-marathon. That’s my new goal.” The tennis legend is often seen sharing posts highlighting her workout sessions. Is this the secret behind her incredible fitness at the age of 43?
Well, it sure is! As a fan thinks she, “Stole The Show ‘Stunning.’” In February, Serena stole the show with blonde curls and WYN Beauty makeup look at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
One of the fans wondered, “Is it me or does Serena looks like she’s getting younger?” Serena Williams’ glowing beauty is a result of a combination of a simple, effective skincare routine, self-care practices, and a focus on natural beauty, rather than extensive makeup or procedures.
On top of that, her swooning floral outfits. Are these prints her favorite? “Serena loves her some prints—I think her favorite is leopard,” said Kesha McLeod, a celebrity stylist, in a previous interview.
