Serena Williams is hands down one of the world’s elite tennis stars. The sports legend’s career is still going strong, and apart from recently becoming a mum, she’s now also creating a stir in the fashion sector.
Barely a year after launching her clothing line ‘S for Serena Williams’, she was invited to present her new ready-to-wear collection at this year’s New York Fashion Week. The event was all about inclusivity, with models of all shapes, shades and sizes proudly walking down the catwalk in creations that screamed inclusivity.
Joining Serena at the event, barely 72hrs after her U.S. Open disappointment, was her two-year-old daughter Olympia. Dressed in similar outfits, the mother-daughter duo posed for photographs together at the end of the fashion show.
Despite her superstar status, Serena makes it widely known that her daughter trumps any other professional achievement. In fact, she makes no real mention of any of her previous sports victories in her Instagram bio description, simply listing: “I’m Olympia’s mom”. In a recent post on her official account, she asserts that the greater achievements in the past 24 months revolved directly around the birth and life of her daughter.
