In the latest installment of LifeInLooks, September cover star serenawilliams sits down with Vogue to revisit some of her most memorable looks on and off the court.
“The French Open was kind of upset about it,” tennis legend Serena Williams says of that instantly iconic —and controversial— black catsuit she wore at the 2018 French Open. Williams is certainly no stranger to sparking conversations with her fashion. The seven-time Wimbledon champ has spent nearly three decades dominating the court, wearing everything from denim-on-denim competition looks to Virgil Abloh-designed tutus.
Of course this Life in Looks touches on the bold, early-aughts fashion Williams became known for. One standout: A 2004 US Open look that featured a jean skirt and a calf-high sneaker-boot hybrid. Williams reveals the look was slightly inspired by jean shorts André Agassi donned not too long before. “I remember telling Nike if I’m switching to you guys, from Puma, I want more pizazz,” Williams says.
Williams has made a name for herself on the red carpet, too. The athlete reflects on her 2019 camp-themed Met Gala outfit. She boldly paired Nike x Virgil Abloh tennis shoes with a kaleidoscopic Versace gown. The unexpected move came per the advice of Anna Wintour, who warned Williams about how much standing co-hosts of the event have to do. “My finest garment happens to be Nike and Versace,” Williams says.
The final look in Williams’ retrospective? A Versace gown she wore to the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party. Williams attended the lauded event in celebration of, the touching, Oscar-winning biopic dedicated to her father. “Wow, what a story,” Williams says. “This is where we started,” she says, flipping back to her 1992 tennis look. Then she flips back to present-day. “And this is where we end. For now.
