The star athlete won her Wimbledon match on Tuesday in the chicest of tennis whites.
In terms of athletic accomplishment, Serena Williams is the rare gem who can't be beat — but as a fashion icon we’d say she’s more of a swoosh-shaped cluster of crystals on a Nike cutout dress.
On Tuesday, the tennis champion took the court at Wimbledon against Italy’s Giulia Gatto-Monticone in a white athletic minidress bearing a Swarovski crystal-encrusted Nike logo (cleverly rebranded as a “Broosh” — a brooch and swoosh hybrid) and cutouts at the waist.
Though Wimbledon’s strict dress code confines players to tennis whites on the court, Williams added a pop of color to her outfit with gilded accessories, including hoop earrings, a delicate necklace, several rings, and sneakers emblazoned with Nike’s golden tick (“large manufacturers’ logos are not encouraged” on footwear).
