Serena Williams<\/a> is still reminiscing about her time in France during the 2024 Paris Olympics over the summer. She had such a memorable time that the tennis star could not help but share a photo from her trip on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Missing my favorite city,” Williams captioned a photo of her throwing up the peace sign with the Eiffel Tower strategically placed in the background. However, just as the 43-year-old uploaded the image, her comments section went into overdrive, dissecting her makeup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legendary tennis player\u2019s look reignited discussions about colorism and beauty standards, with some followers speculating that she was trying to lighten her appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social media comments questioned whether her makeup choices reflected personal preferences or an attempt to alter her natural skin tone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Williams\u2019 followers expressed disappointment, recalling the \u201cchocolate-faced teenager\u201d who captured hearts at the 1999 U.S. Open when she beat Martina Hingis in straight sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some followers didn\u2019t hold back on the post<\/a>, criticizing her glam team for making her look, in their words, \u201cwhite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One commenter quipped, \u201cMakeup artist needs to be fired,\u201d while another wrote, \u201cThat shh is supposed to blend in with yo natural color. Turning into Michael Jackson right before our eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cY\u2019all better fix my girl makeup or whatever i don\u2019t like this,\u201d another wrote, adding,  \u201cI love you tho.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
