AceShowbiz - Serena Williams, the legendary tennis star with 23 Grand Slam titles, has always made headlines for her bold and expressive style both on and off the court. From her iconic French Open catsuit to her ballet-inspired US Open kit, Williams has turned heads for decades.

In a recent interview for PEOPLE's 50th Anniversary issue, Williams reflected on her fashion legacy. Despite being on "worst dressed" lists in the past, she maintains her unwavering love for her unique style.

"I think being on worst dressed lists is important," Williams says. "I've loved every style that I've made, and you don't love them looking back all the time, but I appreciate them."

Despite her critics, Williams embraces her fashion choices, embracing both the hits and misses. "I've had a lot of outfits, a lot of on-court outfits, a lot of off-court outfits," she says. "I've had some amazing, amazing red carpet looks. I've had a lot of different looks, but you know what, you can't take any of it back. I'm leaning into all of them."

Williams acknowledges that her body has changed over the years, but she still appreciates her past fashion choices. "I do keep things, but, you know, my body might not fit the same things that it fit in back then," she laughs.

Along with her remarkable tennis achievements, Williams's passion for fashion continues to shine through. As the designer of S by Serena, she believes that "fashion is a way to empower people."

Whether she's walking the red carpet or competing on the court, Serena Williams remains a fashion icon with no regrets. Her bold and innovative style continues to inspire both on and off the court.
