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.
