Serena Williams Shares Her Best Style Tips

Serena Williams reveals she’s just like many women who may watch her give her all while on the tennis court. She has body issues when it comes to finding the right fit—and it’s not for reasons you may think! The Wimbledon Championship player’s boobs give her the most hassle.

“My problem comes in the bust area,” said Williams. “[Blazers and tops] will fit my shoulders, but they won’t fit my bust. You can belt and get things tailored, but who wants to go through the trouble of that.”

So, how does she remedy that battle? Serena simply designs her own clothes when she can’t find what she wants.

The talented tennis player and designer, who have sworn off love for the next ten years, gives us the latest on all things fashion from her perspective:

Dressing for her body type: I look for things that are really great for curves. I have a really small waist, so I like high-waisted pieces. And I love tank tops.

Maintaining her hair: It’s hard. If you just embrace your natural curl and rock that, I think that’s the best way to style it when working out.

Must-Have Beauty Product: Right now it is actually eyeliner, which I actually just got into like four days ago. I think eyeliner is cool because you can jazz up your eyes and it helps to distract from other areas on the face that you may not feel comfortable with.

On her nails: OPI is coming out with some brand new gels that set in 30 seconds and I’ve been playing around with the set at home. I love Samoan Sand. It’s really good for the season. For summer, I’m obviously really, really into brights. I’m excited about the Spider-Man nail polish collection and I love the red.

Getting Bikini Body Ready: All you really have to do is a great 30-minute run or walk to get in shape for bikini season. Sometimes it’s hard because you don’t have the time, but it’s tough and you have to get it in. I focus on the core because as a tennis player you have to run, move and get balls. Lifting my own body weight is something I’ve recently started doing, too.

Which tidbit are you taking from Serena?

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
