Serena Williams is baring it all in Harper's Bazaar. For the August 2019 cover story, the tennis player candidly wrote about her highly publicized loss [1] to Naomi Osaka at the 2018 US Open [2], and to match the vulnerability of her essay, Serena's photos did not undergo any airbrushing.
Yes, this unretouched rule also applied to one stunning shot in which Serena is wearing a Ralph Lauren Collection cape, Christian Louboutin heels, a Bulgari cuff, and nothing else. This isn't, however, the first time Serena has shown some skin for a photo shoot. In fact, she posed naked on the cover of Vanity Fair [3] when she was pregnant with her daughter in 2017.
