Serena Williams Closes Out 2017 With a Sexy Hair Color Transformation

This year was huge for Serena Williams. The 36-year-old tennis star gave birth to her daughter and married Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian in a gorgeous star-studded ceremony. Despite all of that excitement, however, she still "needed a change."

On Instagram, Serena shared two gorgeous pictures of her new honey-blonde hair, flawlessly executed by stylist Angela Meadows. Though Serena has tried different hairstyles and hair colors through the years, she's mostly stuck with a darker hue for quite a few years, making this change especially exciting and fresh. Not only that, but her caramel highlights are on par with one of the year's most prominent hair color trends.

Since we can already go ahead and assume the coming year will be another eventful one for Serena and her family, we're looking forward to seeing what other exciting changes may come — beauty-related and otherwise.
