After posting her famous twerking video on Snapchat in April, Serena Williams is back at it again, this time shaking her muscular glutes in a skirt she designed before stepping out at the debut of her new documentary.

The tennis pro shared her latest booty popping clip on Instagram yesterday, wearing a fringe skirt from her Serena’s Signature Statement collection in the color deep plum. She is seen opening a window and dancing to Travis Scott’s “Antidote” as her assistant Grant Firestone sits in the background. Williams seemed to be blowing off steam ahead of the premiere of her new Epix film Serena later that night.

At the premiere of the documentary in the SVA Theatre in New York City, Williams switched her hair from loose curls to a sleek and straight look and wore a gold high split down with spaghetti straps and a cleavage-baring neckline. Matching gold earrings and a necklace completed the outfit along with a watch and strappy beige heels.

The 21-time Grand Slam title holder’s TV film will provide an intimate look into her personal and professional life. According to a press release, viewers will be able to see William’s candid interactions with family and friends along with colleagues and competitors. The doc will showcase the pressures the athlete faced trying to reach a “Serena Slam” – four Grand Slam wins in a row – and losses at 2015 U.S. Open and 2016 Australian Open.

“2015 was a defining time in my life and career,” Williams said in the press release. “I think my story will be relatable to audiences whether you love tennis or not. It’s a story of perseverance, failure and triumph. It’s the most intimate I’ve ever allowed myself to be on film. It was a scary but ultimately really gratifying experience, which I’m hoping inspires others to pursue their dreams. I’m really grateful to Epix for this incredible opportunity and the care they’ve shown me. Can’t wait for you all to see it.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
