Whenever Serena Williams [1] steps onto a tennis court, you can expect power, fierceness, nearly flawless technique, and some of the hottest outfits on the court. During her first match at the 2018 US Open, Williams rocked one of her best looks yet: a ballerina-inspired outfit [2] by none other than the founder of Off-White [3], Virgil Abloh. The dress represents her grace, and in the tournaments since, she's continued to bring a sense of style that has matched her athletic prowess.
Before Williams returns to the court, take a trip down memory lane and enjoy some of our favorite looks she has worn over the past nearly 20 years.
