Serena Williams is showing off a new level of confidence these days. The tennis superstar, 43, recently posted a stunning photo on Instagram, looking amazing in a lace lingerie set. This versatile piece doubles as a swimsuit. She posed on a balcony on Monday, September 22, embracing her curves with style. The one-piece suit featured a deep V-neckline with delicate lace. It had a fitted satin shape and micro-shorts, also adorned with pretty lace details.
The Olympic athlete has been open about her recent weight loss. She shed 14 kilos, or about 31 pounds, with the help of GLP-1 Ro medication. For her photo shoot, Williams matched her gorgeous outfit with a robe. She added sparkle with a diamond necklace, silver rings, and crystal earrings.
Her beauty look was just as polished. She wore luminous foundation, well-defined eyebrows, and long lashes. Her lips were lined in pink. Her blonde hair had a side part and was styled in neat, bouncy curls.
Williams captioned her eye-catching post, “Dressed to the nines… and on cloud nine.” She then added, “In satin swimwear, of course.” Her celebrity pals and many fans quickly filled the comments section with praise for her dazzling appearance.
“I mean 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥😍😍,” exclaimed La La Anthony, admiring the post. Another social media user commented, “Love the transformation from universal athletic figure, to motherhood, now to glam girl.” A third fan simply wrote, “🔥🔥🤍🤍BADDIE!‼️🙌🏾🌹.”
This isn’t the first time recently that Williams has shown off her figure. Back in August, she looked fantastic in a neon yellow swimsuit. That suit featured a cutout over the bust, a fitted neckline, and thin straps. She pulled her hair into a bun and accessorized with black sunglasses.
Around that same time, Williams spoke with People magazine about her weight loss journey. She revealed that she was "feeling great" after reaching her goals. “I feel very good and healthy,” she added. “I feel light physically and mentally.”
Williams shared that after welcoming her two daughters, Olympia, now 8, and Adira, 2, with husband Alexis Ohanian, she "never" quite reached her desired weight. “It was crazy because I had never been in a situation like that in my life,” she explained. “I worked so hard, ate so healthy, and still couldn’t get to where I needed to be.” She stressed, “I never took shortcuts in my career and always worked very hard. I know what it takes to be the best.”
She further clarified her decision. “There was nothing wrong with my previous size. It just wasn’t what I wanted,” Williams said. “I just knew I wanted to be where I personally felt comfortable.”
