If you haven't picked up a copy of the 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue yet, these images of Serena Williams will have you running to the newsstand. The tennis star — and all-around amazing woman [1] — is featured heavily in the annual issue, showing off a strong and beautiful athletic body. She looks at ease, totally natural, and confident. It's almost as if she's sending a message to all those individuals who have body shamed her in the past [2]. "Look at me," she's saying. "I'm sexy. I'm strong. And you are nothing but a fool."

Consider these images your sneak peek, and be sure to pick up the issue, which is on sale now [3], for more of Serena being amazing.
