All hail Serena Williams for being a beacon of empowerment, fierceness, and all round excellence both on and off the court.
After the French Open idiots officials showed off some their blatant prejudice and banned the superhero-style catsuit that the Williams wore back in May, she took the high road. Even though she literally wore the suit for medical reasons.
At least the rest of us had no qualms about outright condemning the ban.
Catsuit anyone? For all the moms out there who had a tough recovery from pregnancy—here you go. If I can do it, so can you. Love you all!! pic.twitter.com/xXb3BKDGNF

Judging by the absolutely fierce outfit that Serena Williams just rocked for her comeback US Open match, I think it’s safe to say that the Tennis champion does not care to abide by any boring, restrictive dress code.
Williams has once again brought a unique flair to her Grand Slam outfit after stepping out in a custom black tutu look that gave her game some serious elegance and drama.
And she won, by the way.
The stylish one-shoulder black tennis dress with the ballerina-esque skirt was designed by Williams in collaboration with Louis Vuitton designer Virgil Abloh for Nike’s ‘Queen’ collection.
Plus she rocked a tennis bag sporting the label “AKA QUEEN”, just in case you didn’t get the picture. Serena Williams is a queen.

Just when you thought that watching Serena Williams play tennis couldn’t get any better, she brought this skirt into the mix and turned the whole game into a damn beautiful modern dance performance.
This is what power looks like.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Serena Williams shows "respect" for the game by playing it better than, you know, everyone ever.

While the French Open officials are probably crying tears of loss for the yonder years of tennis when all the women just did as they were told in tight mini skirts, the rest of us are keen as hell to see more of Serena Williams’ epic Grand Slam outfits.
Winning never looked so good.
